  7. dragonball345 Says:

    Im guessing it’ll reaching into 50000 or more you may say I’m crazy but I wouldnt be suprised if it hit 100000. It’s one of a kind for now it’s for charity, people have lots of money, and it’s went from 0.99$ to 17.300 in like half a day.

  13. benheck Says:

    I just hope the top bidder ends up actually paying. Also, hopefully it doesn’t go too high, that’d be ridiculous.

    -Ben

  14. Wofiel Says:

    Well, it’s at $24,000 right now. How high is too high, Ben?

  15. AdamH Says:

    Ben, I’ve got to say, you’re one clever person. I know I don’t have $24k (to give to charity, and I doubt you’ve got that kind of money laying around either. And yet, you’ve created something that will give a charity that much money (or more). Granted, it probably cost you $2k and countless hours. A labor of love, I’m sure.

  16. Ian Meagher Says:

    Hey, Ben. First off, I wish I had money like the current bidder has (which I hope he does since it’d be a shame to bid $23,600 and not have the cash to give it up), but, big credit to you for your originality and your heart to auction off one of your creations to a very worthy cause. Great gesture. God Bless.

    hm, this is sweet! :> in case i should ever get married, i hope it’s a crazy geek like you. hrhr :D

    A big thanks goes to Engadget for sponsoring this auction. Great job Engadget.

  20. Diesel Says:

    What happened to all the $? It only went for 9K?

  21. Bruno Says:

    What they should have done was have people donate money to the charity, and then after 10 days, the person who donated the most (individual person, not corporation) got the Laptop. That way no one would fail to pay.

  22. AdamH Says:

    First, I’m glad that the laptop was able to fetch *some* money for a good cause. But, I’m still disappointed with humanity. Urgh! What is wrong with people?!?

  23. Matt Boehm Says:

    How about next time doing a raffle system with somewhat pricey tickets? I’m sure you could raise a ton of money like that

  24. Austin Says:

    OMG!!!!! IS THIS FOR REAL???!!!!!
    THIS GUY IS A GOD!!!!
    IS IT GOING TO COME OUT FOR RETAIL????!!!!

  25. Eric Says:

    OK I cannot be silent, this project is absolutely f’in awesome. Kudos to you Ben, that shit is off the hook, beyond compare, and I really would nuke a country without a 2nd thought for such a device.

    Keep it up man, it inspiring to us all :)

  28. Dan Says:

    Ben, you need to get corporate backing on this one, this thing could be used in cars on those long trips and be plugged into the tv like a regular PS3. I think there are plenty of people who would pay $1500 for a production version.

  29. darkstaraeon Says:

    I would.

  30. dhscjk Says:

    IT’S OVER NINE THOUUSSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  32. Tim Says:

  33. Brennan Says:

I wish I could afford a PS3 O.O… Or a PS3 Laptop :P Well im glad there are people nice enough to spend abunch of time, and money, making something to raise money for someone else. I wish it raised more money for the charity. (It deserved 100 Bill Gates paychecks.) Oh well, anyways, great job, god bless you.
