Question is, how to do it. - This could be a prize for a tourney, but that doesn't ensure that it goes to someone who really needs it. - I could ask folks to add their names to a thread and just pull a name out of the hat. But similarly, it may end up with someone who may just end up selling it, thus depriving a member who could really use this card. So I'm looking for suggestions on how to do this without a lot of fuss. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Or, in other words, the one with the worst current component. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

I could use any and all the parts I could get for the next computer give away. The next tourny will be for MEMBERS ONLY. I am hoping to do the tourny by the end of Feb. Just prior to the release of Crysis 2. This will give me enough time to purchase all the parts I would need. Any donations of parts would be greatly appreciated.

I prefer at least having a chance of winning if drawn from a hat or just given to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

I've donated parts for builds for members and appreciate those who are willing to do that - Wizid, I've got other stuff and will round it all up and get it off to you. Banpire, PM me your address and it's on the way. A suggestion for the Powers That Be: We've got a computer help forum, but what think of adding another forum, maybe call it Members In Need or some such, where XI members can place requests for anything they need, be it a computer part to a leaky faucet (no requests for monetary assistance may be posted there.) Others can check this occasionally to see if they can help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Ya I agree there are some players that have very limited computers witch makes them a easy target for those of you who have good ones. Mine just barley playes COD4 so players like me can't even think about being in a tourney but I know there are players who are worse off than me.

The one I'm sending you is a BFG Geforce GTX 260 Maxcore 55. It'll scream. And Wizid, also PM me your address - I had it here but can't find it. Among the other stuff I've got to send you for the next donated build is a new, in the box PCIE Soundblaster X-Fi Titanium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
