Hello everyone!
I want to build a computer for a kid with hemophilia (like myself) that really could use some happy things in his life right now. His name is Myles and this is his story.
In February Myles and his older brother were filling up the car with gas at a gas station. The older brother has a habit of flicking a lighter in is pocket and did so then, that ignited the fumes and Myles was burned. Myles spent a month in a Utah burn center and is now home. After going through all the problems with the burns the state attorney's office has decided to charge his brother with a list of offenses, the major one being: "Aggravated arson resulting in the injury of a child." Needless to say this is not helping Myles, for him to see his older brother and best friend in court and possibly looking at 20 years in jail is just tearing him up inside.
So, I think you all can see why I would want to help him.
What it would be is just people donating decent parts and stuff but, if someone wanted to custom airbrush a case or something I certainly wouldn't turn them away. New parts would be aim for this or at least lightly used parts.
All I ask is that if a part is slightly used that it be stock and never oc'ed.
It may be a few days before I make this "active", since I have to talk to the president of the hemophilia foundation in Idaho some more before things are final. But at least you guys can think for a little bit before we do thinks.
The hemophilia foundation of Idaho is having a bowl-a-thon for Myles on July 14th and I would really like to present him with a check of which we are gathering around the state (Illinois) and a new computer.
Any questions or comments can be posted in this thread.
Any part donations (when active) please PM me with the part type and name. (ex: Graphics card - ATI 1300 etc...)
