Free Computers!
2009-05-18, 2:38 AM #1
*** GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED. WINNERS ARE BEING SENT PM'S. TO THE REST OF YOU, BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME ***


I have 3 computers that no longer serve any useful purpose to me, but could possibly serve someone else. I would like to give them away here to members of the Massassi community that could put them to good use. These computers are completely free, I will even pay for shipping. I do have a few restrictions:

1) You must have an 'established' Massassi forum account. If you signed up immediately after seeing this post or have a very low post count, I probably will disqualify you.

2) You must live within the Continental United States. (Shipping outside of US will cost me too much, Sorry.)

3) Massassians that have previously received free computer hardware from me are ineligible.

I am only giving away the actual computer tower (The case, and internal components). You will need your own Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse, and Speakers. These computers contain used/spare components, so no guarantees or warranties. One of my previous giveaways, resulted in a DOA computer.

Introducing the computers:

Computer A

CPU: Pentium4 2.8ghz Socket 478 (Overclocked to 3.0ghz)
MEM: 2gb DDR400 PC3200 (2x1gb, 2/4 slots used)
VID: Radeon 9700 128mb AGP
HD: 160gb IDE
Optical: CDRW + CDROM drive
OS: XP Home Edition SP3 (No install media)
MISC:
Powercord included

Computer B (2x, These two are basically identical)

CPU: Pentium4 1.8ghz Socket 478
MEM: 768mb SDRAM (3x256mb, 0 free slots)
VID: Quadro 900XGL 128mb AGP
HD: 160gb IDE
Optical: CDROM drive
OS: Ubuntu 9.04 (Linux)
MISC:
Powercord & DVI->VGA Adapter Included

Just respond with something like: “I am interested in Computer A.”, "I am interested in Computer B.", or “I am interested in any of the computers.” No, You cant win more than one. I will check this thread sometime Wednesday Night and construct 2 lists based on people interested in each catagory of computer. I will feed the lists thru the List Randomizer @ http://www.random.org/lists/ and notify winners via private message.

If you have any questions, ask.

These 3 are all from a local municipal government Ebay auction. I got a whole pallete of computer equipment for $5. You can usually find great Ebay deals if the auction is 'Pickup only' and are fortunate enough to live close.

I would love to get computer A. I have been wanting to buy/build a computer that can play TF2 but I'm poor! I'm stuck with an Acer Aspire One (cheapest computer I could find) as my only computer right now. I would love you forever if I win!

Am I interested in computer A so I can actually play a pc game or use applications that my laptop dies trying to do.

A or B (preferably A), I'll pay for the shipping. I'm sick of my Athlon 2800 and FX 5200.... had them for some years now, and they are failing. I can't afford a new computer, and all I've got left is a laptop which is now missing two keys :S ... I really need a new computer. No monitor needed, nor keyboard or mouse. Just a case. I'll pay for the shipping.

I really need a better computer.
Nothing to see here, move along.

? :)
2009-05-18, 2:54 PM #33
I am interested in either as my brother's computer is in terrible shape. I think the motherboard is partially fried because it doesn't recognize any cd drive I install. He could use a new pc badly.
TAKES HINTS JUST FINE, STILL DOESN'T CARE

I'm interested in computer A. I have a very similar computer from a while ago that got put into storage for about a month when my family moved, and while in storage a few components were damaged. Well, honestly it appears it's the motherboard, the memory, and the graphics card. What a wonderful combination, right? Anyway, I've been trying to get the thing working so I can have a computer other than this old laptop, but I don't have money for any new parts, so all the REST of the computer is sitting there doing nothing. And so am I since I can't run any of my games anymore (like for the last 3 years).

Anyway, summary: I'm interested in computer A.
