Something just a little bit different for my blog today. Today is November 1st, 29 days away from my birthday, and this year, on my birthday I am going to give away this Dell desktop computer plus 17″ flat panel monitor (and a bunch of extras) for free! You don’t even have to pay the shipping.
It is a free computer, monitor, keyboard, wireless mouse, speakers, and an HP printer, to be given away on November 29th. Yep, that’s right football fans, my birthday is on the same day as the Auburn vs Alabama game this year (if anyone wants to send a pair of UA vs AU tickets my way for my birthday that would be cool too), so this giveaway date should be easy to remember if you are the slightest bit familiar with Alabama football.
Every year when your birthday rolls around someone will always ask you what you want for your birthday, and I always liked to do something different instead of opening presents. I like how Brad Ruggles celebrated his birthday yesterday by asking for his readers to donate to Compassion, a fantastic international children’s charity. I may do the same thing, but I am also giving away this Dell desktop computer.
Details About the Dell Computer
The setup will consist of the following:
- Dell Dimension E510 Desktop Computer
- Windows XP, Service Pack 3
- Microsoft Office 2003 (Excel, Word, Powerpoint and all that)
- It has a 3.00 GHz Intel Processor, 500mb of RAM
- 17″ Flat Panel Monitor
- HP All-in-one Printer, Scanner, Fax PSC 1210v
- Speakers
- Keyboard
- Microsoft Wireless Mouse
- cables, wires, and plugs needed
This does not include any software discs as I can not find them at this point, but everything is up to date and works fine. It is not a brand new computer of course, but it is a good working system for someone who needs a computer.
To Enter to Win the Dell Computer Contest Giveaway
In order to be eligible to win the contest, you will need to do the following simple steps below. Preferably I would like to find someone or some organization that is in need of a computer but can’t afford to buy one. Anyone can enter, but it would be nice to find a home that is in great need of a computer and I will only ship this computer within the CONUS, I am sure you can understand that.
To enter, you will need to do a blog post on your blog that links back to this blog post. Somewhere in the post you just need to use the link to this post, here, and then come back here and leave a comment to let us know where to find your blog post. That’s it, but, don’t expect to win by spamming my blog or leaving comment spam, you will need to write a blog post linking back here to be eligible to win.
If you know someone who doesn’t have a blog and is in need of a computer and would like to enter for them, just do a blog post saying so. The blog post can be very simple and short but it would be nice to read what you need the computer for or how it will help, or who you would like to give it to if you win. I would ask that if you win, and you do not need the printer to let me know so I can save a little bit on shipping.
So there you have it. Simple.
- Write a blog post linking back to this blog post right here
- Come back here and leave a comment so I know where to go find your post
- Tell your friends so they can enter too
If you don’t have a blog, find someone who does and just ask them to enter for you. Any questions at all please feel free to contact me, you have 29 days and counting. The winner will be announced here on my blog on November 29th so you might want to subscribe to my blog or make sure you visit again in 29 days. Good luck.
i could really use this for my daughter,she 14 and has started to make her own movies and short stories films, shed like to enter the sundance film contest this cumputer would be grate for her projects.
I would be so very blessed to win this Dell computer,for my very gifted teen age son. My son wants a career in computer science and is college bound. I am a divorced parent. I am medically disabled unable to work. We survive only on my fixed monthly disability income. My son has been looking for work for months,he want a job to purchase an used computer.This winning computer miracle would a very happy birthday indeed!
I AM A SINGLE MOTHER WITH TREE KIDS WHO HAVE TO DO SCHOOL WORK WITH A COMPUTER AND I DONT HAVE A COMPUTER FOR THEM TO DO THAT. SO I TAKE MY KIDS EVERYWHERE ELSE TO DO THIS STUFF. I WOULD LOVE TO GET ONE FOR THEM FOR CHRISTMAS
I know where this can be best utilized! HERE, of course!
Thanks for the sweepstakes and poo on those who complain it’s not for a new computer! I’m happy to just be in the running!
Sincerely – E
Every Nice Prize.
my son is in college and the computer we got crashed on us. so he has to go to the library to use one and go to a neighbors to use. this would really help on his studies in college
I really need not want this computer. I am writing this on my school’s computer and my teachers all expect me to own one. This would increase my desire to go into a computer engineering field. I have read all the edition of Computers for Dummies so when I get a computer I won’t be burden to mine parents. If I win I would be mine first in a luck contest.
what a pretty computer ^^
Mr. Fillmer, I’m the winner you’re looking for. Check out my latest blog and see why!
M.A.Soleymanizanjanis last blog post..I’m A Winner!!!!!!!!
Nice System….
I posted on my facebook that you want to give away a new computer. I found out from my daughter who was here at my house with five of her six kids on the computer. I was thinking, If I win this computer and give it to her for Christmas, My grandchildren would squeal and my daughter would do the happy dance and I would become the best bubbe on the planet!
Because of Jesus, Bobbie
I could really use to win this, my husband was paralyzed from the chest down in an auto accident, He cannot get out and do the things he used to do. This could help him keep busy and have things that he can still do. Thanks for the chance to win It.
here’s the link to the myspace blog that links back to this contest

What a wonderful thing you are doing…yes, I do actually need a new computer. I have three kids, a husband and myself; each of which need time on the computer and end up fighting over turns.
My girls (aged 5 and 7) are on the computer for their learning games and such. My son (15) is a sophmore in high-school and needs his time on the computer for reports and other studies that require research and such.
My husband is a working man who needs to keep track of things through email, forum discussions and who knows what else he does…always busy with something.
Myself; well, I’m going to school full time (online) and could use a little space on that computer for me. Sometimes I get close to missing an assignment because I’m fighting over turns with the kids and hubby for time. I have to print out my assignments, go to the library and work on it there.
If I won, I would let you save on shipping…I already have one, but the computer we have is horrible. When we turn it on it goes to the “reboot” section about three or four times before allowing one of us to log in…it has many other problems, but I will not bore you much more. I would just love to know that I’m entered into your giveaway and have a shot of winning!!!! This would clear up so much chaos in my home.

It’s that time of year!
I don’t have a blog, but if I got a good desktop I might start one.
Hi, I would like to win the computer, I do need it cause I am a student but I don’t know how to blog. I just found this and thought that it is so cool what you are doing by giving away something to somebody.
Fantastic offer – thank you for your generosity! If I won the computer, I would like to be able to pass this on to Stacie Holeman (www.supportstacie.net or http://www.supportstacie.org). Stacie is an uninsured cancer patient with three school-age kids. Christmas is going to be pretty bleak this year for them, so even aside from the real practical assistance that the computer would provide, it could also be a source of great joy.
Neglected to add… my blog post about it (http://gioiamia.livejournal.com/166949.html) references Stacie (aka truelovepooh) just as Tracie Joy’s post up above does (http://majiklmoon.livejournal.com/534405.html).
nice
I’m trapped in the boonies on hughes.net, blogging requires bandwidth. I also know a disabled individual (who just turned 10) that needs a computer for his schoolwork.
Thank you for having this giveaway. I am sure whoever wins will be very happy!
Scott, our correct email address for the Extraordinary Explorers is lrogers@apswarriors.com. Thanks a bunch from our fourth grade classroom!

I would love to win this for my son. He saved and saved to buy one but as life happens Murphy’s law kicked in and out the window went his savings on a car repair.
