Since I ve had no takers, not just here but work and ebay.
I have decided to offer it up for auction.
The highest bidder will get a high spec motherboard and RAM.
And all money received will goto the Pint and Pizza appeal.
I think the best way to do this would be as a closed bid done via PM, then the winning bidder pays direct the to e-goat fund.
All bids to be in by 31st October.

What on earth is meant by "crossfire" ?
What does it require by way of a CPU?
(sorry, but my knowlege of these things is a bit thin.)

Crossfire = It will use ATI Graphics cards and not SLI (Nvidia).
HERE (http://processormatch.intel.com/CompDB/SearchResult.aspx?Boardname=dx48bt2) is a link for all compatible CPU's all 60 of them, so if you have at least duel core ( 775 socket ) it will fit.
Intel (http://www.intel.com/products/desktop/motherboards/DX48BT2/DX48BT2-overview.htm)specs for Motherboard
Hope that helps mate.

I forgot to say if nobody bids then I will come round all your houses and stamp on your kids toys :PDT_Xtremez_14:
Dont be put off by it being computer parts and you have never built one, it is very easy to upgrade, all it takes is a bit of time.
So come on, get bidding. All the money is going to a good cause.
The winning bidder will pay via cheque, because paypal charge a handling fee.
Cheques must be sent to

I thought the offer of my last rollo might drum up a few more bids, remember guys its pay day and you can tell the wife it is an early xmas prezzie to yourself:PDT_Xtremez_14:
Can you give us a link to the RAM please. Ta :PDT_Xtremez_30:

Due to me being an uber slacker :PDT_Xtremez_19:
I did say the auction thing that I had attempted to run would close on/around the 31st Oct.
I would like to say a big thank you to everyone who placed a bid, after all the money is going to a fantastic cause.
I have been pimping the Motherboard and RAM all around the bazaars to drum up as much interest as possible, Including giving everyone I know a link to this thread. This has resulted in a work mate giving me an offer of £160 so that he can build a new computer by xmas.
So I am pleased to say that the E-Goat charity pot will be will boosted very soon.
Once again thank you to all that placed a bid. :PDT_Xtremez_28:
