    OK I've got a neck like a jockeys ?????? But here goes what the hell I’m looking for someone to loan me the guts of there system for one day 24hours or even 6 hours .I need the mobo , ram, gpu, cpu, and maybe the harddrive with an OS on it to save the hassle of me doing a fresh install .TBH I only kind of need it for a few hours .as you may have seen on another thread in the modding forum myself and unklerossco have been pick by CUSTOMPC mag in the UK to have won their READERS DRIVE competition .So they are sending over a Photographer this Sunday to take snaps of both our systems which will appear in the June and July copies of the mag
    The snag is that both of us put our systems up on the readers drive page of their website over a year ago and I had upgraded the parts a few times since then , but now when they say we have won . I had just sold of the guts of the system I still have the case, psu and the TFT's and the mini TV and fans and controllers and so on all I need is main parts as they state the PC must be a full working rig to enter.
    Anyhow I'm willing to drive out on Sunday morning and pick you up and drop you back if you want or just pick up the hardware on its own. Anything would do but seems we are both kind of representing the Irish for the first time in this, it would be nice to have so good kit to show of in the system and of course ill give you tons of credit in the five page interview that we are doing telling the world how cool you are and so on and who knows what goodies I might have for you???
    Also if you don’t know me there is plenty of the guys here do .I will return your hardware the way I got it and wont be over clocking it and messing with it , all u need to do is just remove your mobo with everything still on it as in heat sink and so on. And I've you want some security I can let you hang on to my xps laptop or something like that.
    I know its a bit of a hassle but ill if the tables where turned I’d do it for one of the lads here. Anyhow PPPLLLLEEEAAASSSSEEE HELP ME

    Congrats on getting your mods onto the mag. Both cases look/looked awesome and certainly way better than some of the systems that they put on there.

    Try not to look to geeky for the photo. No pencils in the top pockets/ horn rimmed spectecles etc....:D

    dont worry about the machines, they look grand already

    I'm just glad all the bits worked...was still worried I'd wrecked the GPU ripping the waterblock off it. Somewhat of a relief to see it all working.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,557 ✭✭✭dubdvd
