Folding@home hardware donations

[Allan]

In case you don't know, we have a section in the classifieds where we donate/recieve hardware for folding rigs. A lot of us have some spare parts lying around, but not enough to make a folding rig.

If we help each other out, we should be able to do get a couple of rigs going.

We donate hardware to fellow folders of team 45.
Recievers should expect to at least pay shipping, if nothing else is agreed on.

I can't stress this enough:
This place is NOT for anyone looking to score free hardware! If the hardware you recieve isn't going in a folding rig folding for team 45, you cannot have the items for free.

So there, if you can, please visit the Folding@home donations section in our classifieds and see if you have something in spare that someone else needs - or vice versa.

Thank you very much, fold on!

If you take a look in the classies, you'll see that I've got a ThermalRight SLK-948U HSF up in there. If you can use it for a folding rig, it's yours, just pay the freight.

[Allan]

WOW thats good of you gizmo. Alright everyone, hurry to check gizmos post in the classies, I doubt it will stay there for long.

[Gizmo]

Well, I haven't had any bites to buy it, and I have no use for it myself, sooo................

[Allan]

I wish I had a P4 just now, and that shipping it all the way to Europe wasn't so costly.
I hope it finds a good folding home.

[scottman]

i'll take that ThermalRight SLK-948U HSF i was going to buy a SP-94
dam this folding makes your cpu run hotter when all i am doing is playing music that heat sink will help

[Gizmo]

I'll check on the freight costs and get back to you. Unfortunately, I'm afraid that freight to Australia will probably be more than what you could buy one for there.

[scottman]

i don't think it will cause there like $90 and i counld send u 1 4 maybe $20 i guess

[Gizmo]

Send me a PM with your zip code, please.....

[Gizmo]

Ok. Here's what we've got.

$21.50 US for Economy Parcel Post, with a 4-6 WEEK delivery time.
$26.75 US for Airmail Parcel Post, with a delivery time of 4-10 days.

Anything else (Fedex, UPS) is horridly expensive ($90+). 'Course, it's also guaranteed to get there. Not so with Parcel Post (USMail). Once it leaves the US, Parcel Post can't guarantee anything.

'Sup to you. Let me know what you want to do. I won't be able to ship today, but if you go with Parcel Post, I can drop it in the mail tomorrow. Otherwise, it will be Monday before it ships.

[Gizmo]

'Sup scottman? Do you think you want this? I can Post it Monday if you do, and you can PayPal me the postage.

Is it possible to make the "Folding Team Donations" thread (in the For Sale section) viewable by folding team members only?
That would eliminate having to question whether they are on the team or not.

I know it's uncomfortable having to ask, but if we are to be sure our parts get into the right hands, ... a duty to be preformed...

It might be possible... But Admin is so buried in site work right now it might be more than my life is worth to ask them! ":O}

Would you please put this on the back burner and bring it up again in say 3 months?

Thanks LP, great idea, but we're slow on implementation right now.
