Server Upgrade?

Webpage updated.

I payed with my VISA card through paypal. Â£50 but I am not sure how much you get or if it is me that pays the extra % fee.

The fee is deducted from the donation by Paypal. The fee mentioned above has been deducted and we have a little less than Â£50 in the fund. I have to say, from an administration and simplicity point of view, it is easier to do it through Paypal despite the charges because it is easier for me to track.

I'll go post the info in the main forum. I will edit in a comment about the charge.

Im sending mine in the morning, my on-line bank isn't up until the morning .......to your account (i have all your details still)

I was just wondering what was going to happen to the old processor and memory? If we get more than enough money for the upgrade we could go for a new mobo as well and then keep the old/current mobo+mem+cpu intact. This could maybe then be turned into a multiplayer game server supporting e.g. LFS and Halo? What do you think?

Is it possible?

Just an idea

The old processor and memory will either re-used in a dMw 'project' or sold with the proceeds being retained for the future upgrade. Oldbloke, Stryker and I need to finalise a few things before we know what will do.

A new machine would cost significantly more once you start adding the case cost and the peripherals, so I don't think that is an option just yet.

Â£50 from Albert. I joined dMw just after you had the fund raiser for Blackadder whereby getting a good deal, new clan with spanking new server. Considering the hours of pleasure it has given me I have no hesitation.

PM me you bank details and I'll use BACS to get it to you.

I have a two 40GB 5200rpm HDDs, 512MB of RAM and a 1700+ on a socket whatever dooh dahh mobo that can be donated for gaming. I also have a GEF4 Ti4200 which is up for grabs. I still haven't found which of the aforementioned parts is faulty, or the PC would be working now. It may be the PSU as I've replaced the mobo, gfx and cooling system. I don't think I've borken the CPU.

Cheers Albert. Why not put the hardware up for sale and get them to pay the money to the Paypal donation button instead? That way we benefit and other peeps benefit from the kit. Whilst the offer of the kit is welcomed, it is unlikely that it would be possible to use it in our current set up, so selling it makes more sense. What do you think? I could always open up a For Sale section or something similar.
