Rebuild the Colo Server Donation Thread! HELP SX OUT!

[FragTek]

As most of you may already know, Jim has worked out a deal with a data center in London which has colocated a server of our choice w/o bandwidth restriction or usage meter in exchange for advertisement. This is truely a deal of a lifetime!

I felt it necessary to be able to utilize this new found bandwidth to the best of our ability and have started buying parts to completely revamp the server and get it up to par with the phat inet connection it has.

But this project isn't finished, we need some more parts and my wallet is empty! I've already put about $400 in to new processors, motherboard, ram, and a used hard drive. I'm obviously not asking you to be quite that generous, anything you can spare will help wheter it be old parts you're not using or cash donations to finish her up, all is greatly appreciated.

New Server Specs:

-2 x 2.4ghz Intel Pentium 4 Xeon's (Ordered)

-Asus PC-DL Motherboard (Ordered)

-2gb's Corsair Value Select RAM (Ordering next week)

-40gb Maxtor IDE HD (Pulled from an old comp in my closet)

-80gb Hitachi SATA Deskstar (Not yet ordered)

What we still need:

-500w+ 24pin ATX PSU w/ 8pin P4 (20a+ on 3.3v rail)

-PC3200 RAM

-More HD's! SATA or IDE!

-Any and all old computer parts which could be sold for cash!

-CASH!

So please, rummage around in your room or your closet for old computer junk that you're not using and let us know what you can send!

If you have an extra $5-10 in your PayPal account that you wouldn't mind helping out with, please feel free to send it to "matt at fragtek dot com"! Remember, this server will benefit almost everyone on this forum. Whether it be game servers, file servers, web servers, you name it, you're bound to benefit from the server in some way!

Thanks all, dig deep and see what you might be able to come up with!!!

I got my stuff for sale if you need any of that stuff, also I can sell my enermax psu which I know is crap but it still is 600w with 32A

 

[enVias]

Eguy, How much was you wanting for your PSU?

 

[FragTek]

enVias, thank you so much, that will go a long ways mate!!!!

@XMS: Can you add 100GBP to enVias's donation icon plz?

@Eguy: How bout $40 for the PSU?

 

[FragTek]

Update:

Ok guys, we're getting REALLY close to having all of the parts together for this new system...

I need to buy a few things @ Newegg to get her so near completion it's almost ready to fire up! Here's what I need from Newegg:

-2gb Corsair ValueSelect RAM - $159.34

-80gb SATA Hitachi Deskstar HD - $53.50

The total for those parts is roughly $220 after shipping, subtract enVias' donation of $40 means that we still need $180. I am of course going to chip in myself and drop more money to help get these parts but it would be nice to see another $100 worth of donations come across the table.

Any takers? This is your chance to get your donation status indicator to light up and show that you've helped out :anisx: in a big way!

Thanks all! :wavey: :wavey: :wavey:

Please paypal any donation amount possible to "matt at fragtek dot com".

That's great mate, thanks!!! This will be a huge relief for us trying to find a damn PSU for this rig, was kinda getting worried. But kempez pulled through in the longrun.

You just let me know when you're ready to order up the ram and I'll have it ordered just as soon as you want.

Cheers! :beerchug:

Well a slight change of plans is going to stop us up like a constipated goose unless we can get some more donations.... IDNet wants us to put the new server components in to a 2u case, as they don't want us taking up another mid-tower slot as that's a lot of money down the tube for them.

Unfortunately, 2u cases in the UK are a god damn ripoff... We need about 100 GBP for a 2u case.... Or we need someone to donate a used one if you have one / know where to get one for cheap.

WE NEED DONATIONS!!!

PayPal matt@fragtek.com or emma@mailxtreme.com... any amount appreciated, the larger the better though

I'm gonna see if our hardware department have any they can donate at all. If not I'm fresh out

Ah well: at least the PSU should be winging its way to Jim tomorrow
