Package received. Below is the new PC (the tiny one), and the old PC (massive one, strangely in an old Lian-Li case). And the new owner, of course!

The old PC had 2GB of DDR1 RAM, an old Athlon Clawhammer CPU (4000+ I think, it's corroded lol), and an IDE motherboard with a single sata port on it It also had a GPU in it, but no serial numbers so I have NO idea what the hell it was.

Also, he's getting his internet via a USB wireless dongle, except his router is 3 floors below the attic where the PC lives. Going to have a rummage and drop off two powerline adapters to make life less hellish.

Grabbed a DVD RW drive from work for the new PC and left him with an external HDD so he can copy over all his docs. Explained to him what an SSD was and that he had a secondary HDD, which was alien to them. He's offered the old PC to me, although I'll only take back my spare PSU, and if anybody on here for some reason wants some old hardware, I can send it off.

Awesome job @RCoon

Looks like a happy guy! Definitely gonna be surprised with the performance compared to his old one!

Was it a complete surprise or did you let him know/introduce him to this thread first?

Curious as to which Lian Li model it was.

It was a surprise he was amazed by the boot time at the very least.

Not entirely sure, big, heavy and a hugely ugly front panel. Looks like an old full height-full width Dell Server case from 2004.

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

It was a surprise

Well done @RCoon ! he looks chuffed to bits.

I am looking forward to the " i bricked my card " thread (joke)

That tracer ram and a cat would make an interesting video!

Let me start by admitting my first thoughts were "Well, there's no way I can compete with this for Father's Day. You guys win. Hands down." But I must say the coffee cup plastered (figuratively) with awkward pictures of our adorable monsters looks quite good on the desk near this beautiful, gargantuan beast of a pc. Justin was elated to get this - working late nearly every day this week, hence is absence here, because he waited by the door anxiously well past work time on delivery day. While I like computers that run well and do what they are supposed to when they're supposed to do it, I can't honestly begin to comment on the specs of this amazing machine. And my simple understanding of what slackin said was "The whoooole fan cools just this!" And "THIS has 5 million times the power of THAT in my old pc".. Let's just say his excitement speaks volumes (that I obviously need a translator for).

What I can say is that this pc has some serious parent perks. What I refer to as the laser light show provides adequate light for checking on the baby as both our daughter and the pc drift off into a restful slumber. Chick flicks never looked so good on Netflix which keeps us entertained (Daddy not so much) during the babies' late night parties. And it's so AMAZINGLY quiet that I can quite literally hear a four month old fart in her sleep. (She gets that from Dad, I swear it.)

I'm sure his post will contain a more elaborate appreciation of specs and things, but I wanted to personally give the biggest THANK YOU to all involved for making this happen. Rest assured that it has been received by a very grateful, amazing and deserving Daddy.

clearly the blinking lights means its faster

 

[bubbleawsome]

Glad @slackin got a gift he truly deserved! And glad it's helping @MrsSlackin keep tabs on the baby.
Great to see all the good cheer going around. It's not christmas but it does feel like it a bit doesn't it.

Think positive.

I was thinking we could put together a pool of funds for a worldwide prize, then just place the order on a website in the prize winner's country with their address as the ship-to address.
Availability would vary, but we could choose a prize and in the event that the specific prize we pick is unavailable, choose a similar item.

Example, we choose a Hyper 212 Evo as a prize , someone from Canada wins, we hop on NCIX.ca and ship the order to the prize winner's address directly.

OK @xvi tomorrow is July 1st so let's throw around some ideas and see what we can come up with for the:

Kreij Memorial Summer Giveaway

 

[ChristTheGreat]

gratz to the winner!

shipping usually requires a confirmed address why not skip the drama and do a strait cash give away

Edit: Covered it below.
Also, WWOOOO!

Fair point. Perhaps make the participants submit a preferred website to order from as a requirement to enter? I know Amazon will do gift addresses to other countries (although that country was Canada). I think we should be able to find something though. Cash could be a fallback.

You should consider joining up with our TPU folding team (#50711). It should be pretty easy to do and you can check in with the Team for any questions you may have:
