Benchmark Scores bench...mark? i do leave mark on bench sometime, to remember which one is the most comfortable. :o
no but I think he would have gotten a kick out of it
fine make it a blue ribbon
well for my nephew the ribbon was yellow : symbol of some association against children's cancer (tho i hardly remember the name ... thanks to my bloody good but damn selective memory ... )

- opt in for one of the PC's by posting in this thread:
- Examples:
"I'm in for the Kreij EU/UK PC", "Want Kreij USA PC", etc...
- optional: Share a story or experience you have had with Kreij or how cancer has affected your life..

funny the "optional" is what i did 1st hand when i was the second to post here to say i could not offer much than my morale support and declining the giveaway :D either i can see in the future ... or my 1st post influenced the "optional"

I applaud this effort. I'm poor as dirt, and would normally apply for any free give away, but I already have a folding computer that I built, although I need to upgrade my folding card.... I want to see someone else start folding or crunching too. Both my father and mother were taken by cancer, so this is a huge cause for me. My grandmother who I never met also died of cancer. Please, whoever gets these computers, remember your oath, and give to cancer research.

We know power isn't free- just run it within your means to do so. Enjoying the PC is mandatory, running it at full load 24/7 is optional ;)

Glad you mentioned this, maybe not everyone understood the original intention. Crunching within your means is what we're asking, not demanding 24/7 crunching!

(wow, my "poetry" sux...)

The Optional Thing:
Oh boy, I do got quite of a story to tell...
Loooong ago, when I was still relatively new to TPU, I noticed a thread with an odd name [1]. Out of curiosity, I checked it out. And it turned out to be a contest thread by Uncle Kreij!
Initially, the contest was US-only. But after Kreij decided to do a double-contest: one for the US and one international, I entered. And required, for my entry, I wrote an essay [is this the right word?] that pretended to be funny (it wasn't. I still think it was in bad taste and ain't that good). And to my surprise, I won!
This contest was very confusing to me, especially the part that followed after winning. (I didn't know about Uncle Kreij much at the time, so all that odd stuff in the contest was a genuine surprise to me). T'was fun, nonetheless!
I still remember the moment when my prize reached me. I took it from my mailbox, and I just went up to my apartment looking at the letter all the way it took me to get back (the mailbox is on the 1st / ground floor while my apartment is in the 5th / top floor, so It's a short staircase trip down and up to check the mail). It was a regular simple letter-sized envelope. Now, the prize I won was kept in secret for all these years – I decided not to write on the thread what prize I got. But I guess I'll say it now: Kreij sent me a bank check. He wanted to send me something else, but as it was/is too expensive and hard to ship anything bigger from the US to Lithuania (shipping to Lithuania is always a PITA), he decided to send me a bank check so I could just get something nice to myself.
I knew that Kreij was sending me bank check, but I had no idea for how much. So, when I got back into my apartment, I was so excited, I could hardly breathe. I took a knife and opened the letter. Took out the contents. Looked at it. Then spent several minutes just standing, looking at it. I was shocked, in a good way. Let's just say the check was for more than my monthly income is. I couldn't believe it. It looked simply unreal! For some time I actually thought Kreij entered the amount wrong, even! keke!
I was very, very thankful for it.

And now, a sad part in this story:
Prior to last Christmas, since I was [and still am] very grateful, I decided I should send Uncle Kreij a Christmas card. But I had a problem: I couldn't find where I put the envelope, which held the return address. When I finally found it, the Christmas "train" was already long gone. So I, no matter how of an unpleasant decision that was, decided to send it out on next Christmas instead sending a card weeks too late. But, less than half a year later we are here and Kreij is no longer there to receive it.
I feel very sorry that I didn't do it in time. I wanted to send him a Christmas card as a "thank you" very much, but... I'm just a failure as a person here. I am so sorry I didn't do it, I get on the verge of tears apologizing to him inside my mind.
Thus, people, do heed my advice: Don't wait to do such kind of things. Have someone You're tankful to? Some You love, but haven't confessed yet? Anything of the sort? Do it NOW. Don't hesitate. If You hesitate too long, that train will leave for good. Don't do the same mistake I did, people.

Stealth Bonus: welp, STILL I don't know people on the forum well :(
I'd nominate @[Ion], but he ain't visitin' the forums no more and ain't replying anywhere else since ages ago, either...
So I guess I'll stay without a bonus. Aww well...
