Hi guys, the auction just ended with a final bid of $5,600! When we combine the final auction price with the $1,500 donation Richard Surroz will make, we will have raised over $7,000 for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Once again I’d like to thank all the sponsors that made this project happen and Richard Surroz for creating the system, driving it down to NVIDIA Headquarters, and for donating his CPU Magazine Mad Reader Mod winnings to LLS!
I’ve got great news to share – I’ve just been informed that the Ultimate Gaming PC that we put together is going to make it on the cover of CPU Magazine, the top computer hardware enthusiast publication in the US! The system will be featured in the January issue.
Best of all, Richard “Darth Beavis” Surroz will donate the $1,500 award for winning the “Mad Reader Mod” section directly to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society!
There’s just a little over 24 hours left on the auction. Make sure you check it out by clicking here.
The auction will end Tuesday, November 24th 2009 at 8:03:56 Pacific Standard Time. Remember that 100% of the auction price is going to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and that the auction is 100% tax deductible. Happy Bidding!
Richard Surroz dropped off the system at NVIDIA’s HQ earlier today and the only word I can think to describe it is incredible. The lighting, paint job, custom water cooling, hardware specs, and cabling are the best that I’ve ever seen. There are just a few minors things we need to finish and then we’ll launch the auction! Stay tuned.
Just got word from Richard “Darth Beavis” Surroz that the system is completed! Richard is going to be hand carrying the system from his home in Portland, Oregon to NVIDIA’s Headquarters in Santa Clara, California so that we can take some additional photos of the system and ship it directly to the winner of the auction.
Check out the amazing HDR Photograph of the system taken by Michael Deal on our Picture Page.
So everyone has been asking when we’ll start the auction for the Ultimate Gaming System. We are going to put the auction up on eBay Tuesday, November 17th. Remember, 100% of the proceeds from the auction are going directly to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
The auction is going to last 7 days and the price paid for the system will be completely tax deductible! The winning bidder will receive a tax receipt directly from Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Can’t wait for the auction to go live!!
The fine folks in NVIDIA’s Developer and Technology Department have donated 15 of year’s the hottest The Way It’s Meant to be Played Game Titles to be included with the Ultimate Gaming System.
Richard Surroz just sent a link to a video of the system on Youtube and it looks amazing! The lighting is phenominal and the cabling is world class. By the way, the entire system is completely custom sleeved! Check out the video in the Picture section.
I’ve just updated the about section talking about the inspiration behind the project and adding a little information about The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. If you’re interested in learning more about the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society click here.
