Donations needed for new test server

**SpankMe** · 26th April 2008, 00:03

The server I use for backing up KB & testing of upgrades has finally died. The motherboard is poked. It's old so no surprises. Also one of the three hard drives constantly gets read errors.

Any donations of money or PC gear would be greatly appreciated.

What I need:

Socket 775 motherboard
Power Supply Unit
CPU fan
CPU
1GB memory
300GB SATA HDD

or if I can raise $450, I will be able to get everything I need.

New version of vBulletin out next week with some cool new features. As soon as I can get my test server back up and running, I can start on the upgrade

I will buy a can of spraypaint to paint the case kawasaki green.

Don't put a gsxr stick on it though spank....or it might break lol...

PS: hehe i can keep up with youuu

On a more serious note, KB has given me so much so i will give something back, cannot afford it at this instant...

But in about a month i could.

Hmmm actually....will see what i can do.

PM me an account number please spank...

Always happy to try and help where I can - how many members on KB? If everyone gave a dollar

you'd be as happy as the proverbial 'pig 'n shit' - rolling in options.

Same here - I flicked on an Athlon 64 two weeks ago. F*cking timing.

I have a older dual xeon here, 2x2.4ghz I think, 2gb ram. You'd need add HDDs since it's twin 80gbs are a bit small. And the onboard IDE is not very good. Server mobo you see, they expected you to put in a scsi raid controller.

You can have it.

Since I can't PM you, you'll have to email me if you want it.
