Well I have suggested a family I know to donate too, whether that has been accepted in principle or not I don't know I think so as it has been mentioned in the thread and I have a PM with Scam going...
If so then they are a 45 minute drive from me and I see them most weekends so taking it to them wouldn't be an issue, infact I would love to see the looks on their faces, also I am fine to donate a case, well I don't have a spare so I was going to buy a cheap one still looking atm
I'm going to look into that now, I've been aware of it and from what I know of it so far they seem the type of people who could actually benefit really well from this, also it appears to me as a valid and very deserving couple who would actually make this donation kick start more future ones, simply because of the situation they're in and what we can offer as a whole community!
It's not yet been set in stone as I keep refering to, although after reading I'll try and get back to you within 2 days at the latest and let you know first hand as with everyone, whether or not they will be the first to receive the donation... Personally, I'll give you a smile to reflect on
If they aren't that far a drive from you that's not too bad then mate, given that for the record, if I'm the one building it (which is looking like it as was planned originally), I'll have to organise coming down to yours, picking you up and if we have a cam-corder, have you handing it over? I've idea's running round my head that I've lots to choose from but I want the best ones to sprout
-- We'll all have to have our input on this one, by that I mean not just myself, scam and cheesy-'cakes'-999, but all the donators and viewers too!
For the case, if you're willing to spend to donate, that will be very generous of you, as to which will be stated among the certificates made! As one company always states: Every little helps!
I think I may have a Xigmatek HDT S1283 that can be donated. got it sitting in my back up rig cooling a AMD64 3000+@2.7Ghz. I think I may know where the s775 pushpins are.
I dont mind giving it up to cool the Q6600 but im gonna need a cheapo stock socket 939 cooler in return as ive already destroyed or thrown most of my 939 stuff away
That would be really nice of you to do so Freedom mate, if you need a swap for that for the donation rig I can always send you my socket 939 fan? It's in this thread "
Israar's little cluster" although I'm after getting rid of it for £5, that would be dropped for this situation
You will have to get back to me on what you think of that though, again thank you for the offer
I stumbled on this thread, and thought it fabulous...
I know I'm new, but, if I might, make a few suggestions...
1) A build thread or a wiki or something to separate the comments from the parts list.
2) Paypal address for those of us states-side that want to donate.
I toast you all! Great site, great forums, and most of all, great people!

Hey Keith, it's great that you stumbled on this thread and how it made you think
Welcome aboard one of the best,
as most would say, or how
I would state it;
the best community around on the internet! I for one would like to hope you have a good stay here for the long running! Also, thank you for the suggestions too, they're much appreciated!
1: As cheesy said, that isn't a huge necessity as of yet, once the donation flows properly and goes mainstream then we will consider this as a future opportunity, you will be duely noted for this too!
2: Paypal donations is appreciated although if we did this, I'll have to think about it properly. I'm not sure if scam has a dedicated Paypal account like myself, although like I said, it will have to be thoroughly thought about and people will have to be informed of current balance, donators and when and what the balance gets put towards.
Again, thank you very much for your addition, it's really appreciated and will be taken in as a future option! Hope you're enjoying your time here so far at TPU!
