Ive got a complete spare (working) PC sitting here which u can have gratis & for nothing.

Not a server, and a bit old, but it works fine so may be ok for a test box (although u may need some more memory + HDD):
1Ghz celeron, 512MB ram, 20G HDD, onboard LAN and video.

Let me know if you want it.

Cheers
Dave

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

What I need:

Socket 775 motherboard
ATX form factor
At least two IDE controlers
2x PCI slots (or one if onboard lan)
onboard graphics (or AGP slot for my TNT2)

CPU
Celeron is fine

1GB memory

300GB SATA HDD

or if I can raise $350, 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

Senior members can view my account number here. Others can email me.

Sent an email but didn't put subjuct sorry.

Another $20 $240 to go

Another $20 down, $220 to go.

I am a bit surprised with all the users on here each day that the donations are a bit slow in coming.

?? Really? Who says they are not coming? Maybe people just prefer to make the donation and not post about it perhaps?

Fair point, I was only going from the updated tally sorry.

Thanks to those you have donated, but still not there yet.

I had to revise the amount of what I need after looking into exactly what hardware I'm going to get as well as forgetting to include a PSU and CPU fan.

Don't like asking for money, but just can't afford to buy a replacement myself at the moment.
