A Memorial to Kreij - Approaching 10 years of giveaways in his memory!!!

The loss of our own Kreij (Dean) to cancer brings to mind that everyone here will experience how this terrible disease affects us or those closest to us at some point in our lives..... DO YOU WANT A CHANCE TO DO SOMETHING TO CHANGE THIS?

or do you want to want to give in and let cancer continue taking our family and friends from us?

Here's what we want to do:

- ask the TPU community to support special PC builds and other projects to in honor of our departed member, friend, and cancer casualty- Kreij
- request donations from you of hardware items, funds, or other assistance that may be needed
- donate the PC builds or other goods to forum members. It's a plus if you're willing to crunch and/or fold with it to fight cancer.... However, it is 100% fine to just enjoy them in memory of Kreij

What do we need:

All of your support and/or donations to continue to honor Kreij and keep these projects going.

Thanks to the generousity of this community we have been giving away PC's and other goods for nearly 9 years!- Take a bow TPU!!! :lovetpu:


* this post isn't 100% completed- lots of awesome still left to add in ;)

As we approach the 9 year marker since losing our dear friend I felt it was time to remember all that we've done here in this thread over that time. I thank everyone at TPU for their kindness and trust to keep this project going!
:lovetpu:

Dean we still miss you Bud!!!

This is a great idea, and I'm glad some fine minds got together to put this together! ;)

I think a crunching and folding rig would be a beautiful idea to remember @Kreij from "Cheeseland" with, a rig that will fight along with the teams of TPU to fight cancer til that fight is finished. I'll do what I can to help out with some aspect of the rig, and I'll be in touch with you @Norton.


HUGE THANKS to those that donated hardware/software/shipping. :respect:

Benchmark Scores bench...mark? i do leave mark on bench sometime, to remember which one is the most comfortable. :o
i surely would... if i had spare piece ... i know it means nothing to write it ... but still

also during the 9th WCG anniversary i had 5 PC and every workload i did was for Cancer research ... what happened to Kreij affect me a lot ... because during that event in the middle of the contest i learnt that my nephew had a ganglion cancer, tho my nephew got lucky and went thru like a champ and overcome that ordeal ... my Crunching ability took a critical hit, likely i will never be able to crunch like i like, because of what ... because of money ofc ... my landlord said i went 1000chf above the normal electricity bill over a year ... after i had explain the situation he said he understand but he prefer to not see this happening again in the next years ...

tho i can offer my moral support and i claim loud and clear "F**K CANCER!" in the memory of all those great person like Kreij who lost their lives to that frightening thing that the cancer is! (my grandfather also died of that cause ...)

Now is this just for one super rig or any amount of rigs (big or small) we can get up and running? Then we plan on giving it out to a chosen winner who is then expected to have said rig run 24/7?

Is my understanding correct?

I take it, its for one super rig. I don't plan on donating parts, but I do have some old fans, cables and a 500 watt PSU I could part with, if that is what yall are looking for. Also once I get my water loop I'm going to start folding again.

Benchmark Scores Why sit on the Bench when you can get in the game and Crunch!!!
Now is this just for one super rig or any amount of rigs (big or small) we can get up and running? Then we plan on giving it out to a chosen winner who is then expected to have said rig run 24/7?

Is my understanding correct?

The plan may change but the current goal is to build one special rig capable of doing a decent, or better, job of crunching and folding.

As far as running 24/7 .... everyone realizes electricity isn't free. The winner will be expected to enjoy the rig, remember where it came from/why it was built, and to crunch and/or fold within their means ;)

So temped to join in (I would fold for you guys with it) but I think I'll leave it to the TPU'ers. Condolences to all related to Kreij. :( We recently lost dennilfloss (of nowheremom notoriety) too. Let's kick cancer right where it counts! I have a half broken 7770 I could give (it needs a bake I think) but I hope another can outdo me.

Jeep was a big jeep fan, so it's kind of like a tribute. ;)

Taken from the News post:
Dean also contributed to the Jeep online special interest group, and often talked about the benefits of the frugal, effective engineering Jeeps offer, in comparison to modern SUVs.

Informational post- here are some details on the Mapping Cancer Markers (WCG crunching) project:


Project Goals
Mapping Cancer Markers aims to improve and personalize cancer treatment. The project has three goals: first, to identify markers that can be used to detect cancer earlier; second, to identify high-risk cancer patients; and third, to find markers that can predict treatment response.

Mapping Cancer Markers will also enable researchers to develop even more efficient and effective computational methods for discovering relevant patterns of markers. This could help make the use of markers in personalized medicine more practical and more broadly applicable to other cancers and other complex diseases.

I believe his idea was directed towards building something not only great in hardware specs but also appeal. After all, memorials aren't built of just random stones with names painted on them ya know?
