A Memorial to Kreij - Gone 10 years but never forgotten- check out the latest build(s)

t_ski · Dec 23, 2014

I remember when I was young, my brother and I would get home from school before our mom got home from work. We were peaking all around the Christmas tree looking at the packages, trying to figure out what they were. I spied one little package that was like a few others, and I decided to break the Christmas law. I gently slit the tape on the end and slightly unwrapped the edge to reveal a video game cartridge. To my joy it was Defender - we were getting an Atari 2600! WOOHOOOOOOOOOO!

I'd like to put in for Gift #1. My nephew needs a new card to replace his aging HD4830.

Holiday memory
It was my 2nd year of college, and I was out for Christmas break at my mothers house in my old room playing Half-Life. My girl friend bought it for me. I play it on my PII 400mhz, 128mb of RAM, and Monster II 8mb card, 2x 6.5gb harddrives, and a soundblaster awe64 sound card. My mom was cooking all kinds of food for Christmas and I was finely eating something other than Ramen noodle's.. lol and all the Mountain Dew I could drink. I didn't come out of my room until I beat Half-life! lol

Hey,

Holiday gift 2 would be my selection. Would use it to upgrade my mothers ancient PC, (Athlon X2 3800+, X300, 2GB RAM, she complains that even browsing the net is too slow now)

The holiday season is made special for me by spending it with family and friends. Without them, I would not make it through a full year.

Merry Xmas and happy holidays to all TPU members

For 37 years that I have been with my wife, spending the first Christmas 20 days later with our first born daughter seemed like miracle, then in '85 and '88 having 2 more "little" girls, just thinking of all the years of watching them get up, running to the tree to see "which" gift Santa brought them and as the years went on when they would know that mom and dad was getting some, but for so long Santa was still bringing the "one" for them !

Now decade's later we have our grandson who was born on a date that is sombering as was the date I held my dad as he passed from cancer in 1999. { My brother, who was in the National Guard had passed from same cancer in 1991 just as the end of the Gulf war}
When our middle daughter "came home" with him at 3 weeks old,. She had been down the wrong path and knew that now she had to get right, and the father was still not quite changing, I told him, don't let him be like me where I sat on the curb every other Sunday hoping to spend the day with my dad.

So in a November day his father choose his fate, and as she held him while he passed, it must have been the push to help her.
That Christmas, 7 years ago she announced that she was finishing her nursing exams and she was enrolled to become a paramedic! .... EDIT: FWIW of 8(?) Divisions for the state, She had scored in the top 5 written, but unannounced for the driving test, it was also a time factor. They had the choice of "the real bus", or a large 1 ton flat bed [firefighters and EMT's] she had best time AND with the real ambulance! She told me that with my '70TA for 36 yrs growing up and using from time to time prolly helped LoL}

The first 5 years we helped raise him and now the last couple years she married a decent guy, and 2 days/nights a week we play together, and lot of PC'ing since I'm pretty disabled it's an "easy" for me to try to keep up with him lol.

We both love Train Sim 2013 :clap:

, GTR2

, HAWX2 but it will stutter somewhat. Been trying Crysis&2 and well lets face it the 5870 :ohwell:

has some trouble there lol. I think my youngest is getting me new SkyRim

Obviously I LOVE playing Planetside2 :rockout:

, but I love showing his new step brothers that "it does 5 million pixels"consoles don't have this kind of IQ, especially on the ole killer 55" Vizio :respect:

.

Sum it up, now that most all of our family's are gone, the other 2 daughters 600 miles away, remembering spending the Holidays with both my parents being cordial together, the girls smiles as bright as the sun, and now the time that I been able to have to share with "bubby", but having a great lady next to me, priceless .

I'd love to put in for item #1 the 6970. Sure it's not a big step up, but since "she" has told me no more money to spend , let alone on pc stuff it'd make the games smoother, and "It'd probably play Crysis: lol,

Happy Holidays to everyone, and win, lose, or draw, Huge Thank You for all the effort for the giveaways

Mr.Scott · Dec 24, 2014

I would be happy with any one of the packages. You pick if I win.
Christmas is for the kids. That's all.
Anything I need I just get as I need it.
Should I win a package, I'll bench it and pass it on to somebody else that needs or wants it.
Thanks for the generous opportunity, and thanks to the staff for having me here.

Was that better?

Just kidding, of course. We like hearing stories.
That 5870 should still be fairly potent as far as games go. Out of curiosity, what kind of power supply and motherboard is in the machine with the 5870?

It's all good v!! I left out alot really, but after I realized I was getting overboard so to speak
It's the same as in my spec's
Intel DZ68BC Extreme SkullTrail
Seasonic X750
Indeed it's still holding up really well for as old as it is.
The biggest annoying thing is on a reboot the 2d screen will flicker for 5-15 min, it's not a driver of any type issue. so who knows.
Railworks Train Sim 2013 get's him and me annoyed , it struggles some with it,

Either way, a 2nd desktop is needed and I will be running WCG on it.

Katness · Dec 26, 2014

Hi everyone! I am stinger608's daughter.

I was simply amazed when my dad came over today and brought the computer in that he won in my honor!!!!!

He said that it was an ongoing contribution to a fellow member on some forum. I couldn't believe what he was telling me about this person. I'll bet Dean was a great guy!

I guess his forum name was Kreij? From what dad is saying he was a very good guy and helped people alot on this forum.

I just wanted to give a huge thanks to everyone! I was amazed when he told me that all of this computer was donated by people on this forum. Thank you very much to everyone!

Not sure how often I will visit the site but I wanted to tell everyone thank you from the bottom of my heart as I really really needed a decent computer system.

Merry Christmas everyone
Katness!
