I might be from Britain but I thought I would give this a try anyway. 

 

My rig is a joke and would love a new one. Even tho I'm working I havnt had the time or the money to put a better one together. 

 

If I could I would tell you the specs but I have had the rig so long I can't remember and I use it so little because I can bearly run any games. I don't even use it to run mundane program like work because my laptop can do it better. I dont even have a graphics card in it, there is no space in my pc to get a good one so I would have to re make the rig anyway. Whenever I do use it for gaming I don't normally get over 20fps. I used to play a lot on pc but because it's a pile of shit o have ended up using my consol more and more. 

 

I would love to get back into pc gaming and I thank you for taking the time to read this.

 

Can't seem to uploaded video so I hope a picture will do

Even my Cable management is better, Even tho I have no cable cut out holes. Sorry dude if I offended you.

Nothing offend me dude. If you knew how many video cards and power supplies have been in and out of this rig. You'd be long past tiered of attempting cable management.

Here is my, low quality, totally creative and not grabbing random stuff out of my fridge entry.

Not only am I running a ThinkPad T61 from 2007, but it is also rocking stock option with only ONE broken hinge. Totally a beast at running any game, like pong getting a solid 60 frames a 1080P on pong. Damn that's sexy.

Why are people not posting videos? I've only seen 2 so far, one with commentary, and one with none.

Because our systems take 24 hours to render a video

Man I wish I can get a new setup, I don’t have a legit gaming setup. I just have a laptop hooked up to a monitor. I bought a keyboard and mouse to use, but a new rig would be awesome. 

[Nekopara_Coconut]

Hopefully I have a chance on winning this, I'd love to play Overwatch, NeiR:Automata, Killing Floor, Tower unite, and many more.

I don't even have a monitor or a keyboard. My monitor and keyboard are both part of the laptop but I do have cheap $5 mouse

You are so lucky you have a good keyboard and mouse and a better processor than me

I have a crappy laptop, whose graphics card stopped working. Steam wont work anymore. I have contacted both steam and AMD to try to get them working, but they didn't help. I need this computer to game and make videos. When it did work though, I remember csgo at 1080 low peaked at 40 fps. I spent all my money on this laptop and need a pc. Here are the specs:

 

intel i7 7500u

AMD Radeon R7 M440 (broken for some reason)

8 gb ddr4 ram at 2200 mhz

128 gb ssd

1 tb hard drive

 

I need this computer! If for some odd reason I win email me at ryanbesch13@gmail.com

I have an acer aspire v5-471 it is a work laptop that i got from my dad. 

Specs are an Intel core i5 3317u 1.7ghz mainly running at 2.4ghz, i used built in Intel HD 4000 graphics with 2gb of shared graphics memory. It has a 500gb hard drive that is dying and 8gb of ddr3 ram. 

The screen is 1366x768 and most games that i play i have it at lowest settings and 720p. I play alot of garrys mod as well as csgo,

but i would love to play gta v and call of duty because when i try to run these games it will crash.

in Cinebench i have a CPU score of 214 and an open gl score of 9fps.

I am really hoping to win this so i can play all the games my friends have as well as enjoy a better gaming experience. 

Thanks.

P.S. I live in British Columbia and I am 30-40 mins away from Linustechtips office.

Don't worry, there was cardboard and no iMacs were harmed in the making of this video.

*Huge sigh of relief*

That Imac is a piece of history, and it needs TLC. And some margaritas.

NA only sucks. I had my Q6600 on ASUS P5Q mobo and a whopping Radeon HD 4830 512MB to show, with an outstanding Razer 2000dpi analog mouse (I believe it's the first product they made), and some cool ideas on how to present it. All built into a 2001 cooler master case with 12 (!!) 6x6 and 8x8 fans, perfect P4 cable management done with tape and a noise level high enough to prevent you from hearing any sound coming from the speakers.
