The competition has now closed and a winner has been chosen from the many hundreds of entries received.
A huge congratulations to the winner, Mr B Boller! The team loved his entry, which was heartwarming: "I’m a father of two young girls, winning this PC will allow us to play games together and teach them to maintain a PC."
Well done Mr Boller – we hope you and the kids have years of joy through this machine, and that a new generation of PC enthusiasts is cultivated!
Thanks to everyone that entered, and big thanks to WD for making this all possible!
