Nice snag on that i3 530.

I could donate the win 7 key I got from ion last challenge. I never did actually use it like I planned.

How about Feb. 16th thru 22nd for the Challenge period?

Let's see some ideas Team!

Holy Carp Fish! That's My country's Independence Day!

I hope that when we rock this challenge, Ion is back to full swing and bringing his usual monstrous ppd!

As an American I forget their are other independence days besides july first. Thanks for the bit of worldliness. :toast:

I just remembered something: I need to get my brother's pc crunching before this challenge. His pc is now done, just have to help him hook it up to the TV. I think he could do it, just may need to help with any possible issues, possibly in AMD CCC since he'll be using HDMI.

Anyway I'll try to get him signed up ASAP; I think he'll do it. It'll be another 4670k added to the team if all goes well.

I have a spare 320gb drive but its from a laptop.
And perfect timing, I just got a new i7 3920xm overclocked to 4.5ghz on my gaming laptop that needs to flex its muscles.

Awesome on both counts! :toast:

Laptop drives run just fine in crunchers.... I have used them in 2 or 3 of my rigs with no issues. I'll send you a PM later today to discuss- Thanks!

ok sounds good. Since I have not messed with desktops for 5 years now, I didn't know if laptops can go into a desktop without a proper SATA cable converter.

SATA connections are the same- the only issue is whether or not your case is friendly to 2.5" drives or not (most newer cases are)

yotano211 · Jan 26, 2014

Its a 2.5 inch 9.5mm HD. I will fit most normal laptop spaces.

Peter1986C · Jan 26, 2014

There are metal bits available that e-tailers sell as "adapters" or as "brackets". They go for $ 5ish: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=-1&IsNodeId=1&Description=HDD bracket&bop=And&Order=PRICE&PageSize=20

Some fit two 2.5" drives, others just one (although the latter are generally a bit easier to use).

Not sure if typo or brainfart. 4 is next to one, or maybe it was because it was around midnight when I posted right before bed.

Peter1986C · Jan 26, 2014

It's alright, I was actually slightly confused hence my question, lol.

Norton · Jan 27, 2014

Posted in the Crunchers Helping Crunchers thread and opened a WTB in the BST section for a mobo and psu... hopefully we can find something decent to finish up the giveaway rig.

Update on other prizes:
- I'll be donating 2x$25 Paypal gifts minimum plus the parts I've got into the giveaway rig
- Will discuss sneekypete's donation(s) with him this evening and will post his items soon
- Still working on a couple of other items

If anyone wants to help out/donate any items... please post here and/or PM me to discuss.

Thanks for all of the help so far! :toast:

Bow · Jan 27, 2014

Count me in!
I will donate a PP for $20.00

I have an OCZ 2.5" to 3.5" adapter that's basically NIB. Pulled it out, realized it didn't fit my NZXT drive rails, put it back in the box. Might help make picking a case easier.

BUCK NASTY · Jan 27, 2014

Guys, is this an internal competition or are we running against other teams?

Yes

Translation- Will be an official WCG challenge- prizes will be for WCG-TPU Team members only

*Note- Got a few nibbles on my WTB thread but nothing solid yet on a mobo and psu

ThE_MaD_ShOt · Jan 28, 2014

And if all goes well I will be back in full swing for this challenge. I am adding to my fleet now.
