doh, forgot to attach the PCI-E opening covers . . .No IO Shield with this mobo as I got it from a friend last minute (wanted to get this done instead of waiting for the Gigabyte mobo - I will send the mobo from Gigabyte with this rig as an extra part if you guys think that is right or we can find another way to help John with it).

 

Looks sweet.
-And optional spare mobo might appeal to this community. How often do you hear "Comes with a spare ANYTHING" with computers?

 

Just remember when its done to drop me a msg on facey as well just incase i miss email in 100s i go through every day. want to make sure i get this out there to others and some PR people as well.

 

Can do Rich. Darth went snowboarding and Overkill Bill had a personal emergency with new puppy, so I'm stepping in for today. I'll make sure the FB friends get notified.

If I miss it, when this wraps up drop me a PM and I'll get it on TBCS's front page. We'll gladly share the love.

 

Will do.

So many people.

For a long time I here was not.

 

working on the ebay setup . . what do you think for starting price and duration?

 

No good at this kind of thing, but... half of base cost of un-modded parts?

 

A friend is coming over tonight after our Crossfit class to take proper pictures for the auction. G33ktopia this weekend so the auction will go live Friday.

 

Great!

The success of this Auction will rely heavily on all of Us promoting it to our friends, family and social circles

 

Many of us in this thread belong to several forums and social groups.

Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Deviantart,

I will share.

Getting the paypal account figured out, I do want it to go to the same account that has been used for the money to john

 

My running tally of parts donated is incomplete because I have no retail on the mnpctech grills.

We have nearly $2500 in donated parts at retail using shopping on Google.

This does NOT include the handmade parts which would have no retail available, or the value of the custom airbrushing by Brad, or the labor of Bill and Darth.

I haven't priced the Monsoon fittings, or the cooling fluid either.

Someone is going to get a really nice PC.

This post is not meant to be self serving. It is just to document the value of what this community has done for me.

I upgraded that pump myself to run-dry, PWM capability and bright blue LEDs (DIYinHK pump PCB kit.) I wish I could have done more for you, John. I hope I always have the capacity to help when it's needed.
