Ok, I'm hopelessly confused. Never said I was all that bright :)

Dookey has already emailed Kyle for a Z68 board.

I've pledged at least 2 sets of GTS 450 video cards.

I have not emailed Kyle yet. Do I send the cards to Dookey?

Is it better to wait until Dookey's board is given away? Or make a package deal with one set of the video cards?

Who is running the give aways?

What can I do to help?
 
Quick correction. I sent Kendrak a PM pledging a new Z68 board for the next giveaway. We'll contact Kyle before that giveaway starts.
 
One person typicaly acts as a colection point and donates the shipping costs.

I have done this in the past and happy to do it in the future. But that is a decision of the donors as a whole.
 
I can send to Kendrak.
PM an adress to me and I'll get 'em off this week.
Damn nice of you to take this on Kendrak.

Thank you.
 
Well, it seems we have:

Mobo
possibly a CPU
I have a 3x 1gb ram set, brand new never used that I will throw in

Seems like we have the core of a new giveaway. If anyone wants to throw something else in Send me a PM.

The practical thing to do will be to wrap up the current giveaway. Then while announcing the winner, we can also do an official kick off of the next giveaway.

If anyone wants to donate another part, or maybe something for a runner up prize just post and or PM me. Also suggestions welcome.

You guys rock BTW :cool:
 
Hey I have an I7 Xeon.1366. Have we already bought the z68 mobo?
 
IMHO it would be a bit silly to do that unless somebody is already donating an 1155 CPU.

I will shoot a PM to Dokey about the mobo, and have him looking into X58 because we already have a CPU.
 
I am super stoked. I have 2 PCI express slots free that would love to put out 16k PPD with two cards. This will definitely be a good year for Team 33. Plenty of give aways to get new blood, and keep people folding.

Just a suggestion, if you separate the cards and the mobo it should help maximize PPD. If they go together the video cards will drag down the points on the CPU unless its an i5 or other non hyperthreaded CPU. In that case, the loss on the cpu would more than be made up for by the 16k-20k the GPU's would be putting out. I cheap i3 would probably fit the bill.

That's a great point actually. We could give out two winners. One for the CPU and mobo and one for the GPUs. Or, if we have extra funds, we could pick up a $99 microcenter AMD combo.
 
I second the motion. First prize MB and CPU, second prize GPU, third prize the other GPU. Three chances to win would bring in some new blood for sure.

Fold On!

I'm good with whatever you guys decide. I should be shipping the GPU's today unless I get tied up.
 
GPU's are on their way.

Kendrak, you have a PM with tracking info.
Thank you for handling this.

Remember, I have another pair of GTS450's for next month.

Now I gotta go break someone's piggy bank so I can get another pair of G34's....

Fold [H}ard.
 
Yeah, they are. Too damn hot to run them. And they kill the bigadv.
That's why I'm donating them.
They will help the team long term (hopefully).
