The Reddit community came together and donated PC parts to a user so he could build a BF3-ready PC for his friend. Thats show what a community can do for people. I catched this story as I value good morale. Be nice to me cause of the long quotes here, but needed put them in so the whole story can be read.Original post from the requester :"I know this is a long shot, but I feel it is worth trying.I have buddy (named Chase) that along side of me was an avid BF2 player. When we were younger we put much time in with the game since its launch in 05. But over that time our lives took two different paths. I made sure to not procreate so that I could continue to do what ever I wanted all of the time, and that decision is the greatest I have made to date.But he on the other hand now has two beautiful girls, a wife and a mortgage. He does have a good job of being a peace officer (and he is hands down one of the best cops I have ever come across). But even with this good job his expenses are very tight. This has meant his dell we built for him in 2005 is no longer cutting it and there was no reason for him to buy BF3.I am hoping that maybe some fellow redditors/bf3 players has some parts hanging around that could help me build him a new PC to surprise him with for Xmas. I know this is a large request and I would be happy to send in any proof I need to prove I am not a troll. I would hope my time with reddit and playing BF3/BF2 would show I am genuine with my intentions.Currently here is the parts list:Case: (donated by a fellow police officer of his)ITEM DELIVERED!MBX: ASUS donated by Dubya_Tea_Efff ITEM DELIVERED!Proccessor: donated by Dubya_Tea_Efff ITEM DELIVERED!Ram: 4GB donated by MurderJunkie ITEM DELIVERED!HDD: donated by Dubya_Tea_Efff ITEM DELIVERED!PSU: donated by thedudeabiding ITEM DELIVERED!Video: XFX 5770 (donated by me)Monitor: 19in (my secondary monitor donated by me)CDROM: donated by thedudeabiding ITEM DELIVERED!EDIT: For some reason I did not realize how close to xmas it was. So this is somthing I am looking to put together for him between xmas and New Years.EDIT2: I would be willing to pay for shipping if needed.EDIT3: WOW, almost everything needed. I fucking love this community. As soon as it is together I will take pics of him getting it and launching the BF3. This is going to make his year!EDIT4: I think we just got the last item needed. Thank you everyone, I am so stoked to get pics up to show the results of this.EDIT5: All items have now been received. Thank you so much to everyone that helped out. The plan is to put together tomorrow and surprise Chase was a little LAN party action Monday to reveal.EDIT6 PC together and ready to rock. I have it confirmed that Monday I am taking Chase to a buddies house and we are going to reveal and than game. Thanks again guys and I will have surprise pictures posted on Monday."End of story is that the community came together and yesterday hes friend was given the PC, followed by 6 hours of straight BF3 action. It was a 2 weeks effort make this reality, but guess it was worth it for the soul and humanity.Picture of the happy one :At the end a thanks from the requester :"The time came and Chase was given the PC yesterday, followed by 6 hours of straight BF3 action. I want to give a big thank you to Dubya_Tea_Efff, MurderJunkie, thedudeabiding and Crash7800. You guys came through in a big way and made a very deserving person extremely happy. Thank you so much to the rest of /r/battlefield3 for helping out with all of this.Reaction Video... (back story, when he came over he was thinking he was going to play on my laptop. I asked him to read the article on the screen of what was to be his donated PC. He had no idea about any of this.)"If you would like read the whole story from beginning to the end, here it is :part I : The request and wish -part II : The outcome -This is for me humanity and kindness at its best. Needed blog about this right away!
