Monthly NYC PC Giveaway (Community Initiative)

Hello everyone, My name is Eric, a NYC based PC technician and builder. I recently started a monthly community initiative called the NYC PC Giveaway.

Each month, I personally build and give away one custom desktop PC to a New York City resident (or a parent/guardian entering on behalf of a minor). The goal is to help local families and kids gain access to reliable computers for learning, creativity, and gaming at a time when quality systems are becoming harder to afford.

A few important points about the project:

  • Entry is free and open to NYC residents
  • No purchase or donation is required to enter
  • Donations, if offered, do not increase odds
  • Winners are selected fairly and announced publicly
  • Builds are assembled, tested, and documented by me

This is not a business or resale project — it’s a community-driven effort focused on access, transparency, and giving back. I’m sharing here to connect with others who care about PC building, tech access, and community initiatives.

Happy to answer questions about the build process, selection method, or anything else. Appreciate being part of the Micro Center community. -Eric
