Nope. Just have the one PSU, but I have a cooler, if it's an AMD rig.

Paulieg said:
We can do this. Also, if someone contacts BTArunr, he will probably run a small front page story for the contest, if you ask nicely. He's done it before.

The PSU is for the main rig so yeah... LOL.

As far as BTArunr, I can do that but that's once we announce the contest.

KieX · Aug 7, 2011

Have we anything concrete on the second prize rig then?

Captain, I'll PM you sometime tomorrow with a draft, we could probably get this thing rolling soon. Want to test something for the stats gathering first.

(FIH) The Don · Aug 7, 2011

created a FB page for testing to see how it works http://www.facebook.com/pages/2011-WCG-Contest/143536555732779?sk=wall

please pm me if you have anything i should add or remove lol

I think twylith had a CPU/RAM/MOBO combo for the 2nd rig, at least that's what he said in an earlier post if I'm not mistaken.

Radical_Edward · Aug 8, 2011

More reason to crunch harder, I like.

I'm going to try and have my work PC crunch too. I start my new job at my uncle's PC shop today and I get my own office/X4 rig.

brandonwh64 · Aug 8, 2011

I will start up my AMD quad for this! Back to crunching I go.

Yup. No problem.

I will donate a BNIB Corsair H50 for one of the rigs, you guys make the call on which bundles it goes in.

There we go, we also have a few video cards offered. I think don was pitching in a card and a HDD if someone helped with shipping, I'll pitch in for that.

I think that'll be great for the main rig, hammeron's cooler can be for the 2nd rig.

Thanks Jon!

How about this, for the 2nd rig, if you have any parts, send a message to Twilyth, he can update the OP! We just need a tech bench or case, HDD, video card and PSU. Pretty much turn key from there.

We'll figure it out. If anything We can buy a SATA one, any small drive will do, 80GB, whatever, it's for a cruncher you know.

Ruh? Which thread are we talking about?

It's not a good idea to ask me to keep track of stuff. How can I put this . . . I am uniquely ill-suited to the task. I can give a list of what I have to someone though. That much I can manage. I do want to help, but you have to trust me on this one.

(FIH) The Don · Aug 9, 2011

send the list to me, ill manage it

4x4n · Aug 9, 2011

I've got a 160gb drive I can donate if needed. It's out of warranty but works fine.

brandonwh64 · Aug 9, 2011

IM BACK!

Chicken Patty · Aug 9, 2011

Sorry Twylith, I meant KieX, which he created this thread, sorry guys.

4x4, keep it in handy, we'll need it.

brandonwh64 · Aug 9, 2011

1 Question, were did my WCG badge go? I thought after 100K I get to keep it?

Max temp on my x4 is 39 deg full load

JrRacinFan · Aug 9, 2011

WAIT!!!! I would love to participate this year, still no internet at home (posting from my 'droid).

On another note, if the prize rig is AM2 based, I would be willing to donate a Coolermaster V8. Have the winner contact me via PM.

Brandon, if you are inactive over a amount of time, it goes away, you'll have it back soon.

No, you already got it back.

Once you start crunching again it will show up.

KieX · Aug 10, 2011

Sorry for being away so long, been busy at work. OK.. I've updated the OP with the prize rigs based on the offers posted so far.

Please check them and let me know if I made any mistakes! And if you have anything you can add, please also let me know.
