UPDATE:
You guys are the best, I am testing stuff but today was not good for my efforts.
I tested the slot1 and the 2 asus, one I know needs a bios chip, I believe the deluxe, the other gets no video, also the slot 1 no video, I think the processor I am using to test is bad, thats the 2400. I'll test it in a known good one tommorow and let you know, same thing for the asus boards I'll try a known good processor and hopefully at least one will be good.
I finished the computer for the friend and had one to do today for a relative. I got it done and back to him as well.
I am worn out though, Ray I really hope you get to feeling better, bending over the truck the last 2 days was just too much. I still have to change the thermostat, I put in a wrong bolt and have to tear it all back off. It was not a good day for first attempts lol
at least I caught it befopre I started it up and messed up ssomething.
back to the drawing board lol
Today I got the weight thats been dragging me down, lifted off, Selling the opteron and all the help from everyone has so generously given has made me realize how fortunate I/we are.
The weight wasn't the bills so much as that eeveryone was chipping in and I was being selfish. Here I had computers that no one really wants up for sale when I also had some that most folks could enjoy using.
Will, Sid, winr,caferace, you never hesitated to offer great hardware (your best) or kindness (like so many here) I am ashamed it took me so long to step up to your level.
Jim, Byran, Sid, Adam, I owe you all a deep debt of gratitude.
Peter, Christian, Johan, winr and Ray you haveall brought me so many smiles the last few days
Will and Jim I appreciate all you have done both on the site and on and off the team, you set the bar as high as it can go, for everything I thank you.
Geoff you didn't have to buy back the router or pay me twice, I owe you all dearly for being the greatest teammates a guy could ever hope to have.
FullmetalChocobo I thank you for the kind words and am glad to call you a teammate.
Minendo, you have made me realize a lot as well, I hope the parts work well for you, and I thank you for offering so much help, it meant more than you know.
BadThad,MDE, Gleem, mondobyte I thank you all as well, you have always been high on my list of friends.
rlyely, sisq0kidd, Ken6PPC, nbarb99, savageice9, cougar78 Thank you all for all the bumps
jonb, thank you for the ability to start breathing a little easier again. I hope you enjoy the opteron
as for the opteron:
I thought I would hate selling it, I was being selfish, but I have no regrets as the weight I have been carrying is much lighter tonight. It actually felt good to let it go, so many have given to help us It was killing me to see nothing sell. Will gave up over 315+ to help me, sid gave up a gig of ram, so many offered so much, it was killing my heart to hold onto both of the servers. and feel like I was cheating the team.
You all have been so generous, it was the fairest thing I could think of.
I am sorry I didn't sell it earlier though.
