If so read on.
I have no idea if any of the old SETI@Home people are still here or if they remember me. I used to be on here everyday. That was 10 years ago but still it is on this forum I make this one time only offer before I try ebay.
My old super duper watercooled overclocked machine has died and has now sat on the shelf for 6 months. I'm never going to fix it infact I've just ordered a new machine to replace it. I have no friends (atleast none who want this) so it is free to any anandtech member who wants to come and pick it up. Preference will be given to any old SETI@Home boys. Reply to this thread and tell me if and why you want it.
It is in a very large server case. Think 2 large atx cases welded together.
It has inside it working
1000W power supply
8800 GTX warercooled slightly overclocked
Adaptec 2405 Raid card 4 port x4PCI-E
2 dual fan radiators
2 single fan radiators
2 Pumps
Fan control board with heat sensors
3x Raptors 160Gb
Some other fans, pipes, connectors, leads, waterblocks etc.
Probably working but one of these bits is going to be broken.
X6700/X6800 I forget which
4 sticks of 1GB OCZ Flex ram can be watercooled but isn't
P5K deluxe
There is not
An OS
After pickup support
Manuals (there probably are some)
It doesn't work. It doesn't post or if it Posts it won't boot or if it boots it does run but you can't shut it down because it won't post. It used to be overclocked to 3.6Ghz to get it to post now I have to run default bios at 2.66Ghz. Maybe you are clever and can make the whole thing run again with just ten minutes playing in the bios. If so good for you come and get it. It is probably the motherboard that is broken but that is just a guess.
A word on coming to get it. The case is big it probably won't go in the boot of your car or even on the back seat because of the shape of the doors. The one time I took it somewhere I had to put it on the front seat of my car.
Also it's offered as is. Come pick it up and go. That is to say there will be no dismantaling it or asking for for one bit but not the other. If you want the coolent out of it before you come say so upfront. I wouldn't its expensive and there is probably 3 liters of the stuff in there.
Failure to compley will result in you being shown the door. Trust me I'm not kidding.
So there you go. If nobody replies in the next couple of days I'm going to try and shift it on ebay. I offer it completely in the spirt of paying it forward and spreading the love around.
