Please only respond if you have a need/use for these PC's. I'll probably end up picking via Random List thing because I know I'll feel guilty if I play favorites. I might disqualify you if I've already given you some hardware recently. In your reply post, indicate if your interested in ANY of the PC's or a particular one. Don't really have a solid deadline but I figure by Wed or Thurs most of the active Massassi members should have had a chance to respond.

My Standard Disclaimer:

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.)

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. Some of my previous giveaways, resulted in a DOA computers. No OS Install Media Included, but all 3 PC's have COA stickers.

I'd be interested in #1 or #2 for a friend of mine who desperately needs an upgrade since the 478 p4 1gb I won in a contest a few years ago from you. It is his birthday today, lol.

I'll put my name in for any. My computer is pretty old and my boyfriend just laughed at the fact that my hard drive is only 80gb ;_;

I'd be interested in 2 or 3. I could give it to my friend who is in need of a PC.
I can't wait for the day schools get the money they need, and the military has to hold bake sales to afford bombs.

I'd be interested in #3

If someones willing to pay postage, I'll throw in an AMD 4800+ that may or may not work (the system it was in fried, I'm pretty sure it was the MOBO, but can't be sure since I have no way of testing).
2011-09-05, 2:09 PM #9
Computer situation hasn't changed since your last thread, so sign me up for any!
2011-09-05, 2:24 PM #10
my PC is the same machine purchased a week before Doom3 came out that i talked about in the last thread... windows still doesn't boot and i'm sure it's on it's last legs now

i need a new PC i'd prefer #2 or #3 but #1 would still be better than this steaming (considering how hot it's suddenly started running this is almost literally steaming) pile

edit: my computer is now randomly deciding some USB devices will suddenly stop working until the piece of monkey **** is rebooted

I would like to have any of the 3. All are much better than the PC I currently use.
My blawgh.

I'd be interested in any of them. Had a laptop we used to use as a media server, just crapped out on us. poo.

My computer's been crashing quite a bit lately. I think maybe a power supply issue. Anyway, I'd be interested in any of them.

The computers don't have anything to do with my job. Just a hobby. Sometimes when I build computers for Family/Friends, I get their previous computer as part of the deal. Other times I find deals on Ebay, Microcenter, or Cowboom.

I am interested in any, as I desperately need a modern rig at work. But I did win one from your last give-away so feel free to disqualify me.
2011-09-07, 8:26 PM #19
Damn. badass video cards from a few years ago have entered the realm of Triscuit's free computers (tm). TECHNOLOGY.

I'd be interested in #2 or #3 if I happen to be so lucky >_<

Hell, I'll enter based on the fact that my brother's computer died today. I don't know if that qualifies me, but it would be nice if I could have my computer to myself again.

I can't even remember why I decided not to (years ago), it's just sort of a tradition at this point. The winners are free to reveal themselves. Only one has responded so far, so the other two probably arent aware they won yet.

It wasn't me. I declare hax.

This is now a general computer thread: today in my class I discovered that my computer thinks its processor is a 1.1ghz when it is actually closer to 2.3

In my school's computer lab all of the machines are imaged. That is, they're all supposed to be identical. Half of them have various problems. Some with 3dsm licensing. Some still have CTRL-ALT-DEL disabled. Others have corrupt installs of programs. Makes it very easy for everyone in the class to get their work done. Glad I take my laptop with me.

You can fix this by installing OSX on all of them.
