CHARLIE D HAS BEEN defeated by Rob Squires one of the many INQUIRER freelance journalists. The prize for faster AMD system assembler stays in the house and again Rob donated $10 000 he won to a charity organisation.

Rob managed to assemble an Athlon 64 PC in just over six minutes. Nathan Brookwood from Insight64 managed to build his PC in over seven minutes while Charlie finished sixth with a result of nine minutes.

Ironically Charlie was the first one to boot the PC but you were supposed to connect to the wireless LAN network as well and that's where things went wrong.

You can see our two boys with the huge cheque here, Rob is on left, followed by mister from Tigerdirect.com and Charlie on your right.

Do you think the move was justified?
