Bog-

That seems pretty messed up, but I guess there are always going to be people who take advantage of others.

On a side note, I wish there was a way to request items here instead of making a WFF thread in the other forum.

Paul-I would like to add a caveat to this (if I may)......

The intention of this is to provide team members the following:

1. Help you continue folding/crunching by providing you some "no longer being used" hardware free of charge (shipping cost at the most) if your rig is crippled.

2. Upgrade some of your folding/crunching with other members' extra hardware, once again, free of charge (shipping cost again).

This is not intended for

1. People who are free-loaders that think that can get some free hardware by folding/crunching in a short amount of time and then disappear into the four-winds:shadedshu

This might not apply to all but I know I have been a victim of someone who I donated some of my HW and then they just kept asking me for more stuff:shadedshu like I'm some kind of a surplus store

So team watch who you're giving your hardware to and make sure it will be used for it's intended purpose

very well thought/said.

Speakin' of that, although It wasnt free, I still have a E7200 i bought of Paulieg, he sold it to me because I promised I was going to crunch. Paulie, don't worry buddy, its still here, I just need a board and it'll crunch away bro. I expect to have it running in the next 3 weeks. Money is just tight right now. When I do get it running, it will replace my AMD cruncher, same thing, just that the E7200 should pump out better #'s :rockout:

I got a Biostar P35 that i recapped, for shipping.

anyone have a Socket A mobo they can give me? I have everything else(CPU,ram,HSF,PSU,HDD) the mobo i killed awhile ago.

@bogmali you wouldn't be talking about me would you? If so

i would say thats not true i was crunching/folding with that hardware as much as possible till the mobo died. now i am trying to get a replacement

also how much for one of the 120mm fans shipped? It would be great in my main rig(that folds and crunches 24/7)

Hey Bog. Mind if I copy/paste this in the original thread?

I have a socket A mb pulled from a compaq computer, but one of the outer retention tabs is broken and obviously it offers no OC. If you want the specs I can dig them up.

I would love a couple of those 120mm fans

what do you mean by retention tabs? And OCing isn't really needed

theonedub · Jul 25, 2009

There are (6) tabs on a socket A MB that the HSF retention clip latches on to. On the board I have one tab is broken, specifically the bottom right one if you go by the above picture. The board used to run my old Sempron 3000+, I have no means to test it, but it worked fine the last time it was powered. I should also add it is Micro ATX with 3 PCI and 1 8x AGP.

hat · Jul 25, 2009

I wonder what holds the socket in place on the board? Those coolers can put a lot of pressure on that...

YGPM and BTW i don't have to know the exact price to ship it just an idea or a guess will also work

POS-not you bro, you are actively folding man and crunching

I have an MSI KT3 Ultra that I can unload along with an Athlon XP 1800. LMK if you want just the board or both

So much socket A hardware floating around in this thread... ah, good old socket A

p_o_s_pc · Jul 25, 2009

thank you bogmali :toast:

when i get the board i will test the CPU that i have now... If it works i will be looking for another board and PSU but i'm not at the moment

theonedub · Jul 31, 2009

The Sempron 3000+ I had is now Hat's. May have more stuff to donate soon. Keep this thread/'program' alive and strengthen TPU's WCG Team.

theonedub · Aug 8, 2009

This thread was a good idea but it seems stagnant... I will donate $20 towards the purchase of any CPU bought (to crunch) from the B/S/T Forum by an active good standing cruncher (as long as the seller* doesn't mind and this is ok with forum rules, of course).

Lets keep the crunching effort and 'Pay it Forward' alive. :rockout:

HammerON · Aug 8, 2009

Now that I will be adding an i7 rig (next week) to my E8500 rig, I am in need of a router. Anyone have one they don't need?
Can't wait to crunch with an i7

theonedub · Aug 8, 2009

What kind of router? Basic 10/100 wired ethernet or something wireless?

hat · Aug 8, 2009

You can make a router out of an old PC with a bunch of network cards using Windows internet connection sharing, if you have any old computers clunking around, give it a shot...

DanishDevil · Aug 8, 2009

I'm almost ready to go i7. Getting a Gigabyte board, a D0 i7 920 from MicroCenter, and some cheap DDR3. I'll be crunching with it for sure. When I sell my 775 stuff, I will send a little rebate to the buyer if he/she crunches with it for a few weeks or so.

I have a wireless router you could have. You just need to pay the shipping.

Is it wired as well? I think most of them are. I am not too excited about wireless. But if I can connect both rigs via wired I will gladly pay for shipping!
Let me know how much. I will PM my address to you

Thanks Paulieq :toast:
