A Memorial to Kreij - Gone 9 years but never forgotten- check out the latest build(s)

That DOES bring back memories... wow it's been years since i've seen photobucket!

It weirds me out that TPU has been here long enough for lifetime members to be passing away. I feel old.

stinger608 · Nov 13, 2021

This has kind of gone on the way side once again.

Are we still planning on going forward with this?

bogmali · Nov 13, 2021

I'll let @phill decide on it, the rig that I am donating is waiting for a good home

the54thvoid · Nov 13, 2021

If I ever get a new gfx card, my RTX 2080ti will go to any WCG 'rewards' rig. But hell, I'm not holding my breath for that miracle to happen.

Phill is the father of 2 young children. When he posts milestones and pies, it's often at 2 AM his time! Anyone else want to step up?

I know that I am incapable of running one of these.

I'm honoured that people are waiting on me for things like this but seriously there's no need

If anyone here can arrange and donate something without me, then please do

Life sometimes gets in the way at the best of times and with being in different time zones and so on, things aren't really so easy to sort out there and then

If we can introduce more crunchers to our team with word of mouth and giveaway's like this, I think any person signing up to a team like ours wouldn't find a better home

I sadly never 'met' the gent that @stinger608 posted up, but I'm sure heck like most people on here would have had a great time getting to know and crunching with someone like him

Thank you @thebluebumblebee

I think some might call it being stupid or get a grip or arrange your time better but sometimes things no matter how hard you try always have a tendency to go sideways :laugh:

I can remember countless times of having to put Sophia down at 2am then trying to update threads... Never a good idea but the aftermath is damn funny

Still, anyone willing to put anything up for donation, link it to this thread, get a list of names, lets give it a set amount of time for the competition to be open and lets get to it!!

If I can help, I will do my best to help!!

I think the last giveaway we did was the servers I was able to give to @blobster21

Was a little while ago, back in March 2020.... Here 'tis!!

stinger608 · Mar 15, 2022

I'm kind of bumping this thread, but also would like followers to take a look at this thread that @neatfeatguy posted yesterday:

Looking for possible donations for a good cause - Sorry, event fell through and it's a no go

**UPDATE** 4/1/22 My friends have been working on trying to get things going again, but they've had troubles getting the venues that normally sponsored the rally, pre-covid, to back it again. Since they can't land enough sponsors to help cover costs of things, like they have in the past, they...

www.techpowerup.com

This is for a really great cause and I thought it might get more attention posting the TPU link here in this thread.

Never knew this guy but hella mad respect for everyone here. May him rest in peace. :love:

Oh yeah, his passing was a massive loss to us all.

Always so kind and helpful to everyone, including me. I had many private conversations with him where he'd freely give me very good advice regarding TPU and life in general.

He also asked me once to help write his CV as he was applying for a job which I gladly did. Then he got sick with cancer and never made it. It was horrible to watch him fade away like that. RIP Kreij.

Feels so sad that here was a great guy who has died and I just don't remember him, probably just posted on different threads than me. Even being an atheist, may my prayers be with him.

I hope that we all stay safe and alive, I would miss ya guys if we would have a similar loss.

neatfeatguy · Apr 2, 2022

The event I was hoping to build a computer for to donate fell through, so if anyone wants to spearhead a PC giveaway here I could offer up the RTX 3050 as a GPU for the build.

stinger608 · Nov 12, 2022

You talked about some holiday giveaway's @phill .

This would be the perfect thread to do that in and wake it back up once again!!!

phill · Nov 12, 2022

I should have put mine in with this one but yes we can do another for Christmas and getting this thread alive...

Anyone got any ideas for a give away or what we could give away??

What about the latest cod on Steam or Battle.net? I did something similar over a decade ago and it was quite popular.

I've got some Unreal codes here for the collection, I'd love to do something with them. That said, I'd love to do a few GPUs to give away.... Some 2080's or 3060/3070 sort of cards... For some of the members that are always crunching/folding etc. that don't seem to gain more than a few thousand points or even ten thousand points, I wonder if it would be worth it...

I mean a complete 'random' give away would also be as good

What's anyone's thoughts??

I think it's an amazing idea man!!!!!!

Of course, you would have to pick the members that are eligible to win the video cards.

And, shipping across the pond would be a bit of an issue.

Maybe we could get some assistance with shipping if someone across the pond wins?

I was hoping to (funds allowing at this point) to try and do a UK and US giveaway, I don't know if someone over there would like to 'hold' the cash and then we could all agree on a card or something to 'giveaway' and then go from there? I did see a fairly good CPU + RAM + motherboard combo over here, so I might message the guy and see what sort of price he'd be after with it all but mentioning its for a giveaway I would like to think it'll be cheaper! lol

Anyone's thoughts??

bogmali · Nov 14, 2022

@phill I have 2 systems that I'm debating on which to donate (or might donate both). Going to check them to make sure they are operational and post some pics here.

That is outstanding mate thank you

I think what I'd like to do is offer a chance for people donating the PC/s/hardware/s etc. to have some cash from the members to say thank you and to help out with the contributions, I think its only fair.

I'll check in with the mods as well just to make sure this is alright, as I'd like to give back to our community but I'd like to make sure we aren't breaking any rules for W1zzard

It's a great site and I hope by doing these things that people are happy, appreciative and grateful should they win or even be considered. I don't know of many places doing this, so I know TPU is a special place to be for such things.

If anyone has anything they wish to donate etc. then please post it up in the thread. I'm more than happy to send monies over to help buy any needed hardware for anyone who's not quite got a complete PC or something along the lines... I don't wish to have the micky taken out of ANYONE who is also considering and wishing to be involved with this either.

Does anyone have any objections or points or anything they'd like to raise for us doing this?? I'll do an email from WCG as well, so all of our members get it. Is everyone OK with that??

bogmali · Nov 16, 2022

Cannot seem to find where (on here) I uploaded these pics but here they are for one build:

Mussels · Nov 17, 2022

Oh yeah, Nvidia FX580

Just using all AMD's trademarks and model numbers in one go, take that!

Coming soon: The AMD RTX Pentium MMX 2080 Super XXX

I still remember when he used to give me great advice in pm. There was also that time he asked me to proofread his resume for a job he was going for. And now he's gone along with other people I knew, mostly due to cancer. Life is cruel like that.

A Memorial to Kreij - Gone 9 years but never forgotten- check out the latest build(s)

Will you be donating and/or opting in to win the Kreij Cancer Curing PC?

Yes I plan to donate and will opt in to crunch/fold on the PC to help cure cancer if I win it.

Yes I plan to donate but will allow others a chance to help cure cancer with the PC.

I will opt in to crunch/fold on the PC to help cure cancer if I win it.

I support this project but will allow others a chance to help cure cancer with the PC.

NEW poll option- This is a great project and I hope TPU members keep it going!!!

I will opt in on current/future giveaways and/or support them knowing crunching/folding is optional
