It's now time for a new version of the DC Contest Parts Donation since Viper87227 isn't folding for team 33 unfortunately.
The original thread is :
If you have components you want to donate, post in this thread under this format :
-Part name and description.
-Quantity.
-Condition (NIB, used or other).
Contact ICE_9 as well so he can update the parts spreadsheet so we can keep trace of all the donations. If you want to ship the parts to be held, contact ICE_9 and setup a way with him. The current list of donations in a spreadsheed can be found here.
As for money donations, here's how to do by MN Scout :
To handle everything, In addition of myself, I would like to have 1-2 other guys to make a small council to decide what to do with the donations.
The original thread is :
In the past, I have always collected donations, both cash and hardware, simultaniosly to, or just before running a contest. In the past, this has proven to cut things increadably close. So, were going to try something new. In this thread is the info to donate money or hardware whenever you please, which I will store to use in future contests.
Computer Hardware - As long as its decent hardware, I am always looking to take donations. Some stuff I can use older parts, such as CD-Roms, HD's, ect. CPU/MB/Ram, I would like to keep new as possible. Let me know what you have, and I will let you know if I can use it. Please know, if you wish to donate something, that is wonderful, but I will not be able to help with s/h. Contest costs have really been adding up for me, and they will continue to cost me money when it comes time to actually run them. Being 19 and in college, I can only afford so much. So, I do ask that all s/h expenses be covered by the donator.
Cash Donations - If you want to donate money, I am always game to taking that. It would be used to purchase hardware for future contests. I have set up a paypal account and a bank account specifically for donations as to keep it seperate from my personal business. All donations will be put in a seperate bank account where they will sit and collect intrest until needed. Donations are taken ONLY via a money order or check. If you would like to donate, please PM me for my address.

As for money donations, here's how to do by MN Scout :
MN Scout said:If you don't have parts to donate at this time, but would like to donate money to help fund the giveaways and contests there are a couple ways you can do so.
We are accepting at this time:
Please contact me for the shipping address and name for MOs, PMOs, and cash.
- Money Orders
- Postal Money Orders
- Cash
- PayPal: when sending select "service/other" email: dc.forum.donations[remove @]gmail.com Please don't donate by credit card; PayPal takes a large chunk out.
Ways your money will help:
I know we all work very hard for our money. Your money won't be spent unwisely, or without much discussion. I've set up a separate bank account that all funds will be moved into immediately. I will be also updating a Google Docs page that will list donors and the range in which you donated (when donating please inform me if you would not like to be listed). Please stick around and participate in the furture giveaways and folding contests!
- cover shipping
- buy odd parts we can't get donated
- If you have some specific location you want you money to go towards, please tell me and I'll do my best to make sure it is used that way.
If you have any questions please email me at dc.forum.donations[remove @]gmail.com or dc.mn.scout[remove @]gmail.com or you can private message me.
