By the way, if you guys haven't seen ST.o.CH's recent case prototype build, you don't fully understand why I am really jealous of our EU TPU members.

Random Murderer · Jun 19, 2014

Count me in for the US PC.
Cancer has affected my life hugely. Two aunts, an uncle, a cousin, a grandmother, and four friends have all had severe cancer in my lifetime. Not all of them survived. And now Kreij, an upstanding man who had some serious, some lighthearted, and often hilarious either way, posts. He had a strong sense of right and wrong, and was one of the friendliest people you'd ever meet in an (semi)anonymous setting like an online forum.
I know he had some rough times here on TPU even before his first bout with cancer, but through it all, his indomitable spirit kept us, but most importantly him, going. He was a man who either did not know how to give up, or he refused to, at one point flat saying "I don't want your pity." Anything thrown at him, he was ready for.
He was definitely a role model and a great friend. As I wipe tears from my eyes, there are just two things left for me to say: F*CK CANCER, and Dean, I miss you.

I was under the impression you guys liked hardware pics.
There's something about a new GPU, it doesn't matter how low end it is, being able to see a shiny new one in the flesh still makes the tears run between my legs

Appreciate the offer from a fellow Irishman :toast:

As I stated in his news thread:

"
I spent many times talking to Dean about many different things. One that I remember most was the loss of his son! He dearly dearly missed him.........Not any more, as Dean is with him now.
Oh man, this just saddens me so much its beyond words. Dean was such an awesome person. Hell, I was suppose to try and make it out to see him this year some time. Offered me a place to stay and we were going to go to dinner and hang out.

This so brings tears to my eyes. Oh man, Dean, you will be missed dearly my friend!

He is one of several great friends I never meet in person!"

So for sure count me in on this give away.

Count me in for the US giveaway. I haven't lost anyone close to me from cancer, but I did lose a teacher from an unknown reason. In the morning I saw her all happy and excited, after lunch, I never got to see her again.

Sasqui · Jun 19, 2014

Nice looking, and no doubt Kreij is grateful. Just NEED MOAR RAM! ; )

bubbleawsome · Jun 20, 2014

Ah, I guess I'll go for the US PC.

Cancer has been in my life quite a few times. My grandpa passed away from it in 2008 and my dad had it in 2010-11 but beat it. Nature had to take the tough old guy a different way! :') I've seen quite a few forum members beat it or lose the battle in the end. I currently have an online friend with 8 months left. I also fold/crunch for other friends, family and acquaintances with things such as chrones and alczimers.

I never knew Kreij personally but I remember reading his posts from long ago when I was first getting into pc's back in 2012. He seemed like an amazing guy and I was sad to see him go.

I'll go for the US pc..

I lost my step father to Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma on June, 17 2003 and I lost my Grandmother last year but her Alzheimers took a few years prior...
The wife and I also lost her uncle Paul to several types of cancer....

I should be crunching now and there is honestly no reason to not other than I have nothing to remind me to do it...
If I won I'd use the machine as an HTPC DVR with network extenders to watch recorded tv on as well as a light gaming machine...
But as a DVR, that's meant for more than one room, it would be on 24/7....which would make a good cruncher if I understand it correctly...

I was in a thread with Kreij like 5 years ago and I remember trying to get him to see the negative in something stupid not even worth mentioning....he never did btw

Kreij always had contests like this....I supported them but stayed away cause I hate to win...a $5 prize is ok...but more makes me feel funny to win...basically guilty....but this can be used to help so therefor its ok..

and I can honestly say Kreij got me in one of his contests (in his name)

Probably your best bet FX is to go ahead and PM Norton regarding doing a donation. He is busy busy so it would be better if you contacted him. :peace:
