once they offered it up, it became your money to do with as you please

Legally, yes, but I don't think so socially. The circumstances behind the deceit are socially defensible, yes, but I can't go along with the argument that if you explicitly raise money via donations for a thing then it's perfectly okay to use it for something else.

Nope, not legally. It was fraud. OP had no intention to by the computer part in the first place.

I stand corrected. I was under the impression that in an informal giving situation like this the money would be for whatever OP chose to use it for, but yeah, expressing an explicit intention for the donation and then doing something else sounds an awful lot like fraud.

I still think what the OP did was not so horrendous, but that argument about "well besides who cares once the money is in their possession it's theirs to do as they like" just seems hollow.

It doesn't say the OP actively solicited money, simply that she told people she needed money and they offered it to her. It's the difference between me saying "I wish I had a sandwich" and you offer me the money for one and me saying 'Give me the money for a sandwich"
