You have won a sweet looking case!

Chicken Patty · Sep 15, 2009

congrats onry, your hard work is much appreciated and as you see it paid off

Keep on crunching hard brotha :rockout:

onry · Sep 15, 2009

i dont know how many of you know.
i started crunching because my father in law had lung cancer.
he was diagnosed last October. he passed away 3 weeks ago.
he never gave up ,even when he knew he had lost the fight.
so i made a promise to him that i wouldn't give up either.
i got some more rigs in the works, and ill be crunchin for a long time to come.

those are touching words man, I'm really sorry to hear about your loss. You have earned a spot in our family though, the TPU Family. You know how to find us whenever you need something, we are all over the place :toast:

I feel for you man. My step father died of lung/brain cancer 3 years ago, and my father in law is dying of pancreatic cancer. Sometimes the reasons we crunch really hit home. It's not about the numbers, it's all about helping to find a cure for these terrible diseases.

Duxx · Sep 15, 2009

OH WTF I DIDNT WIN?! I QUIT!! IMA GO JOIN A NEW TEAM AND WIN PRIZES!!

Congrats onry

Hope to see some mods in the near future or at least some sexyness.

Happy crunching!

EDIT: Paulieg be sure and thank your generous donor again

Velvet Wafer · Sep 15, 2009

im glad no one from my family died of cancer, or has ist atm.
so im working just for the positive Karma,to be a good human

AND FOR MOAR POINTZ!

onry · Sep 16, 2009

welllll ,the Xclio came bout 1/2 hour ago :eek:

. it is frickin HUGE.
i cant get over the amount of HDD's it will hold.
everything looked to be in pretty good shape except for a couple of cracks in the side window
which arent a big deal. i can deal with those later

maybe ill put in a smoked wndow or something.
did i mention this thing is HUGE and weighed in at over 40 pounds shipped.

i got a couple of rigs to finish puttin linux for other folks then im going to stick my current setup in the Xclio to see how it all works out.
I'll keep you posted as things progress.
i might even throw a couple of pics up of it next to my cm690 so you get an idea of just how big it is.
Again thanks to TPU and the team you guys rock :toast:

Happy to hear you got your case. We are looking at doing a competition soon, and this time we have a sponsor for the event. We just need to find a team that is willing to take on the challenge. We already offered a challenge to RRR. They declined to respond. This was most likely because they knew we would run them over. :rockout:

theonedub · Sep 25, 2009

I like the sound of a sponsor, but our grassroots competition was still great

Hopefully the next one receives more publicity here in the forums!

p_o_s_pc · Sep 25, 2009

Hopefully, the next competition will be a team vs. team effort, combined points over 30 days. We will see who is up to the challenge.

I don't pay the bill this year, Uni does. Can leave computer going 24/7 and don't pay over £65 a week.

Moral - get a flat where bills are included in the rent!
