Thread URL: [PIF] - Various items as a bundle | Pay It Forward thanks @dr1v3r

Since @dr1v3r gave me free shipping on the PIF, I thought it will be a good idea to give this as a PIF.

Item 1: 2 x 1 month VIP upgrades for a Carbie that isn't a VIP already
Details: A spanky VIP banner under your name. Daily Bumping of threads. No time limit on editing your own threads. 1000 character limit on your signature (you can also add an image to it) Non VIP get 2 lines and 250 text characters. Mention Usergroups. View all groups in the forum.

Condition: You must have a PayPal account to receive the $2 from me. You can create one here.
You must use it for the VIP upgrade. click here to upgrade
This is a recurring subscription and you will need to cancel it in the event you decide you don't want to be a VIP any more.

All those that dibs for this will be entered in to a random draw at 2pm today.

{more stuff to follow once I receive the goodies}

Are you taking this PIF as well?

If so, list a return PIF first
 
No one wants to be a VIP?
 
What all did you get from that PIF?
Case art, 8 Ram modules and 3 hard drives were shipped off this morning.

Shipping was also free.

So i started off by returning the PIF for the free shipping that I received.

I do plan to re pif some of the ram, as i just need a few modules

I am currently uploading my PIF as we speak
 
Item 5: Dell GX 280 with McGyver'd PSU
Age: ancient
Warranty: none
Condition: Working, but it's complicated.

This PC's PSU died. I then sat with a dilemma of no other branded PSU fitting in the tower.

I then got hold of a Dell SFF pc with a smaller, but longer PSU. I McGyver'd the PSU mounting with cable ties, so it doesn't fall in, and the PSU rests inside the placeholder for the optical drive.

The PC does POST, but due to a cleanup I don't have a VGA cable to test and install an OS.

Spec of the PC is as follows:

P4 CPU
1GB DDR2 (4 x 256MB)
250GB IDE Drive.



However, you take this PC at own risk. I do not foresee any issue, and I will also test it during setup.

Pics to follow.

2GB DDR2 (2 x 512MB and 1x1GB)
250GB IDE Drive.

This PC should run windows 7, and maybe windows 10. I should have another GB of RAM somewhere. I will get it up and running if someone is keen.

Provisional Dibs on this if that's ok
 
Dibs, I have a sff dell that needs a psu, also that hard drive can come in handy with my OG Xbox.
