[Request] to vote my entry in a contest. Details inside.

So I don't have an awesome computer. I have an old Compaq that is about 8 years old and it was donated to us by the World Care in 2008 when we got to the U.S. as resettled refugees. I also do not have money to build one right now. I am a student wanting to take a summer class, so I had to pay some money that I had for the said class in my university.

When I was musing in Facebook last month though, I saw an ASUS Father's Day giveaway contest. Even if I enter, I didn't really hope that I would get anywhere with the contest, but then I did the math and said to myself, "How many people would enter this contest anyway, if a thousand people did enter then I would have a descent probability of winning this computer than any lottery". So I entered it and wrote an entry about how my father helped me as a mentor in the FIRST Robotics Competition when I was in High School.

Yesterday I got an email from ASUS saying I am one of the few(11) finalists and need to be voted to win the computer. This is the details about the said barebone computer that they are going to give away to the winner.

  • ASUS Sabertooth Z77 Motherboard
  • ASUS GeForce GTX 670 Graphics Card
  • ASUS BC-12B1ST internal bluray drive
  • ASUS Vulcan ANC Gaming Headset
  • ASUS Xonar DX audio card
  • ASUS VE278Q monitor
  • ASUS RT-N56U wireless router
  • ASUS USB-N53 wireless adapter
  • Corsair 16GB Kit Vengeance memory – green
  • Corsair PSU – to be confirmed
  • Corsair SSD – to be confirmed
  • Corsair Vengeance Series C70 Chassis
  • Intel Core CORE I5 3570K – Socket LGA1155

I would forever appreciate your guys' effort if you vote me. It takes the 30 second of your life to make me happy for an entire life.

As a proof, I have uploaded the silver medal that I got from the competition here.
