FS: A very special Pentium MMX

edited February 2006 in Trading Post
Socket 7. Approximately 200mhz. No heatsink included, but honestly, the sticker over the core would probably act as a terrible medium for thermal transfer.

While the time of the old school Pentium may have passed, this chip is undeniably... 1337. In fact, it has been held by the most elite of our fine community, including:
  • primesuspect
  • Shorty
  • GHoosdum
  • TD_Isles
  • mondi
  • Gnomewizzard
  • Hawk
  • Keto
  • Necropolis_uk
  • TheSmJ
  • mmonnin
  • Leonardo
  • Xander
  • QCH2002
  • Gargoyle (especially awesome)

This most sacred relic of Short-Media is not to be confused with more edible symbols of our folding prowess, such as pineapples or green beans. So I'll end all the quasi-cryptic chatter with a simple "it's really frickin' cool, and you should totally buy it."

Here's how it works:
You send just $20 USD/209 Pesos/75 Riyal via Paypal to the Team #93 folding fund. I'm not sure who is managing the folding monies at the moment, so I'm going to assume Primesuspect is the go-to guy. Once Prime verifies to me that he has received the ends from Party A (you), Party B (that's me!) will send you a goodie box which includes, among many souvenirs of its storied journey, the 1337 processor. You admire it for a little while, add a souvenir to represent its most recent stop, and offer it up again, so that the team can raise a little more money for a worthy cause. How long you keep it is up to you, but the quicker it turns over, the more money is raised for the team. Yeah, I set a pretty bad example and hoarded it for a couple months. I threw in an entertaining trinket, though. And Prof and Thrax will be pleased to know it neither glows, nor probes. Unless you want it to. And then I don't think I'll be asking for the 1337 processor back anytime soon.

Moose droppings included at no extra charge.

So who will be the next custodian of the :leet: ?

    Okay, I know I've already owned the 1337 Proc, but I have an idea for shuttling it around various NYC spots and taking pics, so if nobody objects, I'd like it to make its rounds in NY again.

    That's some quick reaction time! Looks like Kwitko has dibs, unless anybody wants to armwrestle him for it.

    You are correct. Primesuspect is the team's SMx Fund custodian.

    That was fast, Mr. Kwitko. But then, I would expect of the most senior, respected moderators to be quick on the draw.

    Oh, nearly forgot.

    Mr. Gargoyle, is $20 the shipped price? Also, do you have references such as Heatware, Ebay feedback, or credit with the Avon lady?

    OK, just kidding, folks. Gargoyle is a longstanding member of these forums and has an excellent reputation. His word is good.

    Let me also put in a pitch for the 1337 Processor. It is precious. Ownership, even temporary, will elevate your spirits. There are some pretty cool momentos from users from several countries included. It's awesome - one of a kind.

    Gargoyle, why did you set the price so low, you twit? :hrm:

    Only with the Avon lady. I'm throwing in some super nice bath soaps with the box.

    At least with the Avon lady. Ba-zing!

    Well if I'd known Kwitko was going to be the one, I would have extorted him a bit more ;)

    In all seriousness, Leo is totally right. I can't make any promises, but I wouldn't be surprised if the 1337 processor reverses hairloss, restores verility, re-aligns household chi, and balances checkbooks. Your experiences may vary. But hey, at least you have the packed-in moose droppings to fall back on, should the processor fail you meet your expectations ;D

    Careful Kwitko, you may fall victim to one of life's classic blunders. The most famous is "Never get involved in a land war in Asia." But only slightly less well known is this: "Never go armwrastlin' with a Kansasman, when a Pentium is in on the line."

    And even less well known is: "Never argue with a Noo Yawka who says 'Youse' and hangs out with guys names Nicky the Chin and Vito the Scumbag."

    Party B swings into action! To the post office, away!

    Actually, the man closes down on Sundays. It'll be sent in the morrow. Kwitko, can you PM me your address? I was going to send it c/o Kwitko-Mart, but I couldn't find it in the phone book. :D

    I had that idea two years ago, but I couldn't get my hands on the 1337 processor before I got rid of my Socket 7 system. :shakehead

    Kwitko, let me know when the 1377 proc is ready to leaf Noo Yawk so I can bid on it too. I have a working P1 board I can shove it in, as well as a pci vid card and a stick of ddr for it and a spare hard drive. I'll fold a wu with it. :D

    The odds are stacked against the most 1337 certificate, when it resides in the woman-less land of Los Alamos. :(

    So I come back to work today after being laid up for a few days with a nasty stomach virus. As I drive towards the office, I start feeling better and better. I realized what it must be- the 1337 Processor is sending its healing vibes out. It's in NYC!! The 1337 Proc is in NYC!!!

    I was amazed when I opened up the box. This thing has been everywhere! What an amazing collection of items from its journey around the world.

    That box is getting pretty full, but I didn't want to ditch it, because the box is as much part of the journey as it's contents. Maybe it's time to put the box in a bigger box ;D
