Hey guys.

Ninja Edit - Tell me why you want it / who it's going to / why they need it

So, been a crazy couple days, which is why it took so long to get this posted, but here goes.

These are some of the left overs that I received from this thread.

A big thank you again to everyone who donated something.

Just didn't feel right selling the left overs after you guys so graciously donated them to me.

So there are a couple rules for the PIF.

1. Please do not call dibs if you do not need it / plan on reselling it. I will be keeping an eye, don't be that guy.
2. The recipient of this / parts will go to whomever myself and possibly @Ageless_ZA? decide. It is NOT a first come first serve basis. I want this to go to someone who really needs it / will appreciate it / has NOTHING.
3. This has been discussed with @Ageless_ZA, who agrees that there is no return PIF required for this one. This one's a freebie, as whomever truly needs this will likely not have anything to PIF in return.

This community showed me just how amazing you all are, let's not ruin it now.

Items:

1. Q8200 and stock Alu cooler
2. GA-EP43T-UD3L
3. 2x2GB DDR3-1333
4. MSI Twin Forza GTX 760
5. Very standard very basic black case
6. 2 x Logitech G410's. One sprayed white. White one works 90%, there are around 5 or 6 keys that double press, hence the second one. Second one is mostly not recoverable but there to be used as donar parts / keys for the white one. Can also put the working one back into the busted ones shell if you wanna go back to standard black.
7. Superchannel + some storage sorted by @Oxsaint - Thank you!
You'd still need a PSU and some storage, but apart from that you'd have a complete system.

If anyone is feeling generous and would like to add to the above, please do PM me so I can add it here.

I'd really like to be able to take this opportunity to help someone out who really needs it, the same way I was blessed

Age: Unknown
Warranty: None
Condition: Tested to be working besides the keyboards mentioned.
Location: PTA East
Collection: Sure
Shipping: Cost on the taker unfortunately.

Let's have a positive Friday thread for a change ;)

I can put my name in the hat for the GTX 760, want to build up a pc for the sister in law whos having to complete her honours degree in quarintien on a pap sak of a pc
 
Hi if splitting (not sure didn't see in post) I would really appreciate that keyboard for a friend in need. Ive given him my G410 but almost all the key has the double input issue.

Im sure we can build a working one out of 3 keyboards
 
The 760 goes with the pc

Everything or nothing.

Only items I'll potentially split is the 2 x keyboards. Will keep you in mind @mopkop

Otherwise, as i said, this ideally needs to go to someone in need. Preferably like some kid who wants to play some basic games but can't afford a system. I know it plays league fine (low settings 60 fps) so may handle some other lightweight esports titles etc.
 
Put my name up for keyboards wuld like to try and fix and give to my son thanks
 
Okay so the first person that comes to mind when I read this is my nephew. He is 18 years old. Last year he was a 1st year student at UWC studying Bcom and was fully funded through NSFAS. His dad unfortunately doesn't have a stable income (Handy man) so it's always touch and go with bills at the end of every month. So the end of last year he left University and now works full time for a telecommunications company selling phone contracts... Sales based. His salary is R3000p/m. Im sure I have a few posts on carb looking for a gpu for him in last year. He worked for me on the weekends last year while studying for some extra funds. I had built him a pc for him last year but when I had the system and was about to give it to him, I rather opted to sell it and gave him the cash as a present. I originally wanted to give him a PC to learn Video Editing because Im a Cinematographer/Video Editor full time, so naturally he became interested in it and later down the line I want to employ him once he is good enough at it. I don't mind getting a 500 gig hdd and a generic psu for him to get the system running. I'd also have to probably get a small monitor as he doesn't own any peripherals but I'm sure something will pop up on carb that is cheap. He never owned his own PC before so this would be awesome. However if there is someone that needs it more, I'll understand that too. It's tough out there and some people get dealt bad hands. This is just the way of life. This is an awesome PIF and a great gesture. I was going to send this in PM but I think my nephew would be okay with me sharing. Cheers.
 
Not gonna lie, deciding this was way harder than anticipated 😅

Honestly couldn't decide, so i left it up to the RNG gods.

I still need to collect the stuff from @Oxsaint, which will hopefully be this weekend, but in the mean time...

@Anth0ny, box is yours to give to the student in need.

@mopkop the boards are yours.

Please pm me to arrange collection / shipping.

Cheers guys!
