Is there a "best of" kinda thread or post of Kreij posts? I'm trying to understand who he was and why he is so popular here. I already tried to look up posts from him, starting from his profile, but I only found kinda generic posts of him. Great thread btw. much respect.

No, but that would be an amazing thread to have available! There was soooooooo much from @Kreij that should be in a "best of" type of thread!!!!
 
I'd think the next giveaway would be building upon what we have. Like that old quad you have laying around? Let's get some ram in there and get it crunching. CPU not clock as high as it could be due to overheating? Let's throw a better cooler at you and have you get it clocked.

Food for thought.
 
It's a shame we can't set up (or can we?) a TPU linked charitable fundraiser and for every 'give away' we ask for a dollar (or equivalent) donation.
Not sure what cancer charity would benefit but it would be something genuinely tangible. I know its pretty unlikely but hey, would be cool.

I should be donating again later this year, upcoming tech dependent. I'd like to think my next item could 'pin' down some major interest.

Having read this and had a look, it would appear that within the search criteria it will only find threads that Kreij has started since we moved across to XenForo in 2013, in order to dig out more it may need a manual post by post, thread by thread search but I will have a play over the weekend and see if anything is feasible and if so, if considered worthwhile we can look into doing something perhaps.

Yep, I imagine that finding some of the more memorable posts from "ole uncle Kreij" would be a long and tedious task @Tatty_One !!!

One of the things that may have gotten lost in the shuffle @Kanan , is that Kreij was one of the first members and moderators to actually do some amazing giveaway's. Something else that Kreij did for anyone was to give a lending hand when possible. He would help resolve issues through PM's and always included a great sense of humor when PM'ing. LOLOL
Not only would he try to help with computer tech issues, but also he was always willing to help with real life issues. Honestly, to know him was to love him. He was an amazing person and one that has had a serious impact on TPU since his passing. The older members here dearly miss him.

I thank the lord that I had the opportunity to join TPU early enough to have known Dean (Kreij). I personally had many discussions, both technical and just general BS'ing, with Dean and he had actually invited my wife and I to come out and stay with his family for a week or so and BBQ some "serious steaks." :p

Oh great, now I start typing memories of Dean and I start getting dang tears welling up. Got to quit that.

Needless to say, I am sure you kind of get the idea here. :toast:

I apologize to all for mis-posting this in the wrong place, if You happened to see it in the other thread, as well as the Shipping cost issue, i want aware of the rules regarding that....anyway..ill try this again,

I have a Powercolor 6950 1Gb that is in Perfect working condition, and can still crank out decent FPS in many games, I most recently had it in one of My PC's as a back-up and it ran GTa5 @ low settings well enough, I'd MUCH rather it get put to use, than sit in my garage and drift into obsolescence, So.... If you want it, Post here that You Do and I'll randomly draw a name, and it's Yours.The only requisite I have is that You live in the US *just for shipping reasons PM me if you have an idea*
I'll pick a person in a few days, or when its easiest for me....feel free to let anyone you think might want either of these items know about this post, as it wont appear as readily as a standard giveaway....i did it like this because i wanted it to be for the great members who take part in @Norton 's thread. :)

Also, I have a Single stick of ...
Micron 4GB PC3-10600 DDR3-1333MHz Non-ECC Memory that is also available to anyone who would like it , or could put it to use...same way as the GPU..ill pick if more than one members are available.

good luck to all who enter!
 
bumpity bumper bump a bump

also paying a visite and respect to Kreij's memorial
 
If you're not crunching or folding, please consider doing it in memory of Kreij!
 
Once upon a time Jesus Christ told a parable to his disciples, was about a poor woman that she gave the only coin that she owned to the Temple as an offer, and was far beyond of rich people who gave more to the Temple than she could. However she gave all that she had and the rich people only gave crumbs that they do not needed.

What we gave from the heart has hundred times more value than what we gave from our wallet.

The truth is the thinnest line of all, who walks on it will not fall.
 
UPDATE- 2/21/2016

@W1zzard unlocked the OP for us so expect updates and a new project starting up this week! :lovetpu:
 
nice
 
We should do pfSense minibuild for the next giveaway. I have some spare DDR3 I would gladly donate.

I think it'd be cool to do something different and still extremely useful that many may or may not realize. Also could be good for training aspiring network techs as well.

Another idea would be for a Plex server/NAS build. I dunno...I see so.e options and while ultimately they're just PC builds...it could be fun to see what parts come up to create these to give away.

Sorry if that's off course here...I hope its worth consideration.
