In January of this year, an NVIDIA employee named Philip Scholz died while successfully saving the life of a man who was on the tracks at a Caltrain station in Santa Clara.  His family started the Philip Scholz Memorial Foundation to provide scholarship opportunities to needs based youth and promote physical activity, especially baseball.  The Foundation has been taking donations directly but now his friends at NVIDIA have raised the bar and are auctioning off an impressive system from Falcon Northwest with the proceeds going to the charity.

Check out the video below and consider putting your money towards a great cause!

We’re now auctioning this amazing system to raise funds for the Philip Scholz Memorial Foundation, honoring an NVIDIA brother who was tragically killed earlier this year when he heroically removed an individual from train tracks and was hit.

The Foundation bearing Phil’s name provides scholarships to needs-based youth and promotes outdoor physical activities involving his favorite pastime, baseball.

This amazing PC uses all the latest technology to deliver absolutely raging performance in a cool, quiet platform.

It starts with the award-winning GeForce GTX Titan Black – the world’s fastest single GPU.

And it 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. And it’s all wrapped up in the most impressive chassis available today – the Tiki — custom designed in NVIDIA green, with a laser cutout window so everyone can see the beast that lives within.

This entire system is fully warranted by Falcon Northwest.
