Of these, I feel like the worst of all these is the Dakota 'Silver Shadow' from the US.
Hopefully my rig gets put into the running. Both my CPU and Motherboard fried while I was helping watch a friends dog. brought the pc with me to get work done and while sleeping her roof/ceiling leaked into my Haf XB Evo case, resulting in my i7 and motherboard frying.
Currently I've saved up about 1,200 - 1,300 and trying to shoot for the 1950x + asus zenith extreme with g.skill 3600mhz ram.
Prior to the computer frying I sold my 7950 gpu around april in order to wait for the new amd line of gpus. they released the 500 series but I was looking for the vega 64/54. so I'll need a gpu, but $500 to add to the budget would vastly pick up the pace on my build since I can already afford the motherboard and ram.

A deserving batch of machines, for sure. Good luck to all! I hope to make it into an episode in the future. 
This is definitely something that SHOULD be found on much bigger channels but isn't. You guys are great and deserve so much more. This series has so much potential and I'd love to see it grow even more. Voted for Old Boy cos I know what it's like to have an old, hot intel CPU and 'Straya.
I think it's because its not just for gaming and actually, no offense, looks the worst out of them all even if it isn't the worst in terms of specification. That makes it appealing to voters. I'm now off to strip down my rig and spray some dust into it to make it look more basic before submitting my imagesCertainly is a close one Julio, nothing like a good race. Cheers to those who've voted for my Cad-box so far, didn't think I'd be even remotely in the running at this point.
Good luck Dakota and may the most deserving win,
Simba

Thanks for the vote
It is quite an old config but people are voting for the ''most deserving'' because the other contestants use it for work which I don't, technically I'm going to use it for school but that won't change much

What I find appalling though is people voting to upgrade a case that I would never consider purchasing because I don't have the money to consider it. It is hard to think of them worthy, when I can plainly see they are capable of the upgrade themselves.That makes it appealing to voters. I'm now off to strip down my rig and spray some dust into it to make it look more basic before submitting my images
