Hospitals and gaming should go together. I remember when I was a kid a hospital had an n64. It gives children the ability to live in a different world and not think about the hospital they are in. 

 

Thank you! 

I couldn't agree with you more! So true!

This is by far one of the best posts I've seen in a while! Very kind of you. Please be sure to share the link with us. (I may be able to pitch in some "stuff" - feel free to send me a PM to work out the details should you be interested).

By the way, it's a very nice gaming rig, the CPU + GPU combo are great!

Sam, that’s high praise.  THANK YOU!

 

There isn’t a link yet but, I’ll share one as soon as it’s online. I’d also be happy to share contact info for the folks who will be running this at Barbara Bush Children's Hospital.  I’ve doe the builds and donated some of my own gear.  The BBCH folks will be taking care of the actual event.  

 

If you're able to send something we'll be grateful.  In any event please send along my Thanks to everyone for AMD's quality products.  This generation of components is simply outstanding.

 

This is the link from 2022.

 This PC was a system I built for intel Gen 12 testing.  I'm the Endpoint Architect for MaineHealth.  MaineHealth is a Dell shop but, we needed to know how this CPU would work in ahead of Dell changing to that generation.  When we were done, I got permission to donate this to BBCH ExtraLife along with a GeForce 3080 of my own.  (Sorry, I didn’t have an AMD card at the time).  This was all done sort of last minute without a complete plan.  We managed to raise around 34,000.00 with some Social Media posts.   This got some attention internally.

 

For 2023 I was given a budget for a build intended as an ExtraLife Giveaway Contest at the outset.  Since I’m a bit of an AMD fan currently, I gave an ALL AMD build a go.  The specs I shared in my post are just for the tower but, the 7800X3D system is a complete kit including a Monitor and peripherals.

1080p 165Hz Display, Gaming Keyboard, Mouse, and Headset.

 

But Wait, THERE’S MORE!

This last winter I did new builds for my wife and I, both based on the 7950x.  There were some parts left over from my wife's old system so we picked up a few more parts and built another complete system. (it may be obvious what my hobby is at this point)  This one is just the tower but should make for a pretty good 2nd place giveaway.

I'm very excited.

I'm very excited too, and happy we're able to support you and the children at the Barbara Bush Children's Hospital. What a wonderful cause! I'm gonna share this post with the higher-ups at AMD and will be sure to do it again next year with you!

Anyone In the Maine, or anyone willing to drive to pick up if they win....  Here's the contest link!

BBCH EXTRA LIFE GAMING PC GIVEAWAY 2023 – The Barbara Bush Children's Hospital at Maine Medical Cent...

I'm very excited.

I like the description: "Extra Life unites thousands of gamers to play games as a way to help support their local children’s hospital.  Think of it kind of like a 5K, but with more dragons and fewer cramps"
