Nvidia Charity Auctions one-of-a-kind Falcon NW PC
Nvidia and Falcon Northwest have partnered together to build a one-of-a-kind gaming PC to raise funds for the Philip Scholz Memorial Foundation, honoring an Nvidia employee who was tragically killed earlier this year when he heroically pulled an individual from train tracks and was hit himself. The Foundation bearing Phil’s name provides scholarships to needs-based youth and promotes outdoor physical activities involving his favorite pastime, baseball.
Nvidia is auctioning a custom Tiki PC fully warranted by Falcon Northwest. This tiny 4″ wide PC uses all the latest technology to deliver solid performance in a cool, quiet platform using the GeForce GTX Titan Black, the world’s fastest single GPU. It also includes Intel’s latest Core i7 CPU, the 4770K, running on an ASUS z87 Maximus motherboard loaded with 16GB of GSKILL DDR3 memory. The storage system is based on two 1TB M50 SSDs from Crucial. It used the Tiki which is custom designed in Nvidia green, with a laser cutout window to show off the Titan.
