I have some questions...


How much money is currently in the X fund?

What parts do we currently have in "stock" for machines?

Is it more convenient to donate funds or pieces?


Let's get 19 and 20 under our belts :)

    $181 in the fund. Parts are best but the fund helps out with shipping costs if they get extreme and allows those without parts to still contribute.

    Let's see...

    I know that we have..

    Video Cards
    Hard Drives
    HSFs
    Case Fans
    PSU
    CPUs
    PC133
    PC2100 (I think, Sev?)

    There is a ComputerFest next weekend I could pick something up if need be. There are some cheap HDDs and vid cards. I picked up 2 of each last year and they are in machines now.

    I've got 2 HDs, 5 NICs, and several heat sinks and fans of various sizes. If anyone decides to rackmount an SMx machine, I've got a heatsink that fits in a 1U enclosure.

    So better question: what do we need to get the next few machines moving? Just memory and cases?

    I got some slot1 on mobo:D, I think I could come up with some parts if you guys need something. I have some fans, might have some ram, I have a crap load of nic's (and about 400ft network cable). Let me know, Adam

    OH yeah I am going to computerfest this weekend, I could prolly pick up some cheap cases from there. Even some dented ones would work. I almost bought one last year but it was ALL out of whack. I might just pick up several.

    That sounds like a good idea. Going to use some of the cash from the account? I can increase the amount in there a bit if you want.

    I didnt plan on it. I was going to use my own money and buy it as my own donation. And I dont have access to the SMx fund money other than asking for it.

    I wasnt going to get anything expensive or anything. Some beige, used case for cheap. Even a scratch and dent case if need be.

    All right, let's focus. What specific pieces are we in need of for SM19 and 20? Can we get a list with people's names beside prospective donations so we can check off what we need?

    Dood, I got case, remember? TheSmJ found a free case local to him for SM18... I'm going to donate the case I had for 18 to 19...
    It's got a 400W generic PSU and three case fans... and a l33t (not) modding job by yours truly! :ninja:

    I've got a 700MHz (Slot A) Athlon and corresponding board. I think one or the other is bad, but didn't get far in troubleshooting it (mostly because I didn't have another Slot A CPU to swap in the board). They were both working fine when I replaced them during an upgrade for someone, but a brief try at setting them up myself a couple of years ago went nowhere (no post, no beep, no nuttin').

    I know that even working, that would be pretty poky, but I'll be glad to mail it to anyone willing to test it out for potential use in an SMx project. Can't remember the brand of the board, but can check if it looks like a possibility.
    Hey, look at my sig. If I had anything better I'd stick it in my own rig! ;D

    I have to check on the CPUs to make sure they are still available.
