Tigerdirect Charity PC Race 2009
Tigerdirect’s Annual Charity PC Race was an action-packed competition as usual with the UNLV Cheerleaders keeping the crowd rooting for their favorite contestant. With 30 competitors, only 3 seconds that separated the 1st and 2nd place winners who each won money to be donated to their favorite charity.

“Build Your Own PC Race” is a fun charity event for the PC editorial community supporting elementary and secondary schools and promoting Systemax PCs based on AMD Phenom CPUs. Public Relations opportunities for sponsors’ products are created by matching them up with members of the related trade press giving the opportunity for exposure and story pitches. Over the course of its 12-year history, the event has raised more than $2 million in cash and computer equipment for needy schools and organizations. Systemax and AMD donate the computers used during the event to schools and non-profit organizations designated by the participants. Systemax is also donating $13,500 in cash to the charitable organizations chosen by the top three winners.
