=== 750 Watt Corsair Upgrade (03:07) ===

[00:00:01]  So today is December 9th 2014 putting together a Christmas care package for Sargon of Akkad who being a broke ass motherfucker would appreciate being able to upgrade his PC.
[00:00:25]  I've been looking at his videos for a couple months and as I was rooting around his Patreon I found out that he is slumming along in a five-year-old laptop which sounds about as much fun as a trip to the dentist.
[00:00:41]  So we're packing up a nice 750 watt of Corsair power supply
[00:00:51]  Asus Sabertooth 990FX motherboard probably going all the way after here's 8 gigabytes of RAM user's manual always good to have Republic Commando one of my favorite games of all time I've got about four copies that's a spare one I think this is a solid state drive 128 gigabyte heatset fan gotta have that
[00:01:22]  this is a 750 gigabyte sling line hard drive for bulk storage cheap ass dollar store mouse it's got a wheel browser buttons it's optical better than sticking your finger in the port
[00:01:41]  I have no idea what kind of monitor Sargon has so this is a VGA cable and a VDI cable in case he has you doing the 21st century and a converter in case he has it power cable hope he's got a UK converter for that and power cables
[00:02:14]  And the video card which is a one of my old old, old backup Radion 3870X2 from about circa 2008.
[00:02:28]  But it'll run Skyrim so, who knows, he may find a good use for it.
[00:02:36]  Can't be any worse than the video card he's got in his laptop.
[00:02:42]  Five-year-old, who knows what the hell Intel GMA shit he's pushing.
[00:02:49]  And I'm gonna hold off on these NVIDIA cards for now.
[00:02:52]  Might send them to him later, but I don't think.

=== Feeling Guilty About the Gift (03:39) ===

[00:02:57]  I think he would be better off.
[00:02:59]  Since it's an AMD motherboard, I think he would be better off sticking with a Radion video card for compatibility issues.
[00:03:10]  And here's an ASUS Blu-ray DVD player.
[00:03:15]  I'm gonna sort all this stuff out proper.
[00:03:17]  Got a little more rapping to do.
[00:03:21]  Plus, I gotta fill out the customs forms.
[00:03:24]  So, Merry Christmas for Sarnan of Akad.
[00:03:28]  Hello, everyone.
[00:03:29]  So, as you just saw from the care package video there from Glenn, he sent me an incredibly generous gift.
[00:03:36]  And the thing is, it's kind of too generous for me to accept because it really seems that he's sending it on the proviso that I'm a broke-ass motherfucker.
[00:03:48]  And thanks to everyone's wonderful support of me, I'm not.
[00:03:52]  I think I'm doing okay, you know?
[00:03:55]  So, I don't want to take advantage of someone else's generosity on the idea that I'm incredibly impoverished.
[00:04:04]  And at the moment, I'm doing alright, so I don't want to.
[00:04:08]  I just feel guilty accepting such a generous gift.
[00:04:12]  So, I discussed it with Glenn, and he said that it'd be perfectly acceptable for me to use his care package as a prize in a competition.
[00:04:23]  I've never run any competitions before because I've never had anything to give away.
[00:04:28]  So, I don't really have any good ideas for what we could do for a Gamergate competition.
[00:04:34]  So, if you'd like to leave a comment down in the comment section, and if you see someone who's already made a comment that you agree with, please upvote it.
[00:04:46]  And the most upvoted comment will become our competition.
[00:04:51]  Presuming it is some sort of competition.
[00:04:54]  Comment and not you're a faggot that 5,000 people have upvoted.
[00:05:01]  But no, seriously, I thought it would be nice to kind of pay it forward, you know, because I actually replaced my computer about three or four months ago after the old one blew up.
[00:05:12]  So, my computer's actually not that bad at the moment.
[00:05:15]  And it's not that, you know, I don't appreciate it.
[00:05:18]  And I tell you, it's a hell of a nice bit of just a bunch of equipment he sent through.
[00:05:23]  And honestly, it's fucking incredible.
[00:05:26]  You know, I just feel guilty accepting it.
[00:05:30]  And I'd like to pay it forward.
[00:05:32]  You know, someone who can maybe earn it or maybe needs it more than me or something like that.
[00:05:37]  Just, you know, someone I can send it to who can really get some good use out of it.
[00:05:42]  Not that I don't want to.
[00:05:44]  See, I feel guilty because I feel like I'm kind of besmirching Glenn's original intention and sending it to me.
[00:05:50]  But I'm really not trying to do that.
[00:05:53]  But yeah, so if you could leave me with some good ideas for a competition, and the most popular one we will use as the competition, and then I shall announce it and run it under however long it should be, depending on the competition that wins.
[00:06:08]  And I will send this prize package to the winner.
[00:06:13]  And I might even throw in some sort of minor second and third-place prizes as well, just because it seems an awful lot to send an entire computer to someone and then nothing to anyone else.
[00:06:25]  But I'll get to those.
[00:06:27]  Depending on what the competition is and, you know, how many people enter and whatnot.
