Free things? Why we deserve them? Heck I'd write down if I thought I deserved it, but I think something better should be done to win all prizes. Make a small website/page with competitions for everything! Could be fun for the community aswell as rewarding, and also promotes us to better ourselves at a form of craft or something.
EDIT: Its possible I could include my own very old 15" CRT and ship it to someone if you want, thats if you go down the competition root of things.
I'd want a 15" CRT, but only if it's within acceptable S&H and from Europe <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Doomie, I want all of your crap. Please send it to meeee.
If you do, I'll build one machine as a server (with some parts of my own added in) and give you a dedicated host for Espionage, whenever you end up needing one.
incidentally, anyone that might happen to have an old monochrome video card, i want one to match a monitor to go with a linux firewall box. Doom, i love you, i could use the Slot-1 CPU, but meh.
I need that joystick, because my last one broke down while i was playing the redline racers demo - suddenly the spring where gone into to pieces and one pinched my left ear - no I'm wearing an earring! :~

I read the post...I just figured I might as well ask if you have an old power cord laying around (since there is some decently old - though not 1993-old) RAM and motherboards sitting around on that table <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> .
I really need some new (used) parts for my computer as it is on its last whim, half of my fans dont work at all and it sounds like Chewbacca sometimes when it growls at me (no joke), an integrated sound card and an integrated video card are no fun for any game... I would seriously die for the 4400, as right now I get 15 fps in game (no joke)
