I am in dire need.

Hello everybody,

 

I know that I am new here, and have no right to post something like this, but I'm now out of options.

 

In a nutshell, I am a US Soldier, nearly complete with my Bachelors of Science in Computer Technology and Programming. The laptop that I was using (ASUS G74SX) fried, from power jack to ground point. Every component was tested on bench, and found cooked. I have priced out a mini ATX build that would handle the workload, which consists of Compilers, Virtual Machines, Encryption and Rendering programs. The backup laptop that I have can't even run my compiler without tanking. If some of you could please take a look at the link, and maybe give some insight, or advice, it would be greatly appreciated.

 

I was ahead of my class by a week, but currently I am at pace, or nearly. By Monday of next week I will be behind. This is the final portion to the curriculum for my BS, and if failed.. Well yea, we all know colleges don't care.

Sorry, i'm at work.

 

I was looking for the terms, and could not find them. It seems sketchy, but I'm out of other options. I've got two kids and my wife, and we just moved from Fort Hood to Alabama, funds are tighter than ever. I will remove the post in a few minutes. Sorry for wasting time.

You forgot the cute profile picture

 

Look m8. Don't know if you're for real or not, but can't tell over the internet. If you do have a problem, ask a relative. If you don't, fuck you for trying to tak e advantage of people's kindness

I've spent the last 9 years working for Uncle Sam's war machine. I do not ask for charity easily. I know I'm new, but dont mistake me for a muppet.

We all aren't as fortunate. The best part is that they're not even dead. They just hold themselves to a higher step on the ladder. They love my kids, obviously, but as for my wife and I, not so much. My mom sent me her old ass laptop, which I will be sending back later today. A nifty Toshiba thing, with some potatoe of a processor.

Honestly this isn't right place to ask such things. Starting with the fact that referral links and self-promoting is against CS:

Which you should read anyway. As a soldier I would assume you understand why we need rules.

 

Secondly, asking strangers to give you money, or even spares, isn't going to work. I could make up story and act with it. Anyone can. And yours isn't even the most teardropping. Just do it as we all and save up.

Me: Hey honey, this random guy on the Internet says he needs money. Let's give it to him

Wife: But we just gave our money to the guy in Africa who said he's going to give us 10x more once he gets to America remember? 

Me: oh yeah I forgot about him

 

To Mr Ponzi (scheme?) sorry but my money is already given out to a random guy on the Internet.

As others have mentioned these types of posts are not allowed on LTT as it is a form of self-promotion. Thread Locked.
