needs
 

We all need free stuff. We all could benefit from free stuff. I for instance need free stuff because I made the mistake of drinking and upgrading. Nothing ruins a PCB faster than a quality lager. At least the beer was good... ;)

im poor

:banghead:


well heres a classic blonde joke

theres this blonde girl that goes to school
on the first day...

she got home and told her mom,

Girl: "mommy mommy, we learned ABC today and everyone got to C but i got to A, B, C, D, E, F.. F"
"Is it because im blonde?"

Mom: "Yes dear, its because you are blonde"

Second day, she got home and told her mommy,

Girl: "Mommy Mommy, we learned 123 today and everyone got to 3 and i got to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8... 8"
"Is it because I am blonde?"

Mom: "Yes dear, its because you are blonde"

Third day, she got home and told her mommy,

Girl: "Mommy Mommy, we went swimming today and everyone's chest has no breast but i have 36D"
"Is it because I am blonde?"

Mom: "No dear, it is not because you are blonde"

..
..

"It is because you are 25 years old!"

I deserve some free stuff because of the four painful years I spent doing tech support for the _dumbest_ userbase you will ever find. Public schools. I deserve free stuff because I put up with questions like "how come when I copy my files from my CD to my floppy it says there is not enough space on the disk?" and "wait you want me to _click_ OK?" and listening to the mac users "theres _TWO_ mouse buttons!?!?". AND for all the grief I took when we took away all the teachers color inkjets and put in about 15k$ worth of b/w Laser printers, and about that much in 3 color lasers, "WHY ARE YOU TAKING MY PRINTER"... of course I was the one who actually go TAKE the printers away from everyone, the boss just made the new rule! So then _I_ was the bad guy from all the teachers views. BAH. And lets not forget the time I installed the whole new lab myself (dont kid yourself- this means putting together 30+ computers from a pile of parts we didn't order from MFR's we built ours) only to realize we recieved a bad batch of motherboards and I would have to go unplug every single one and send them back. (true story :mad: )

In any event, I deserve free stuff for my years of abused techy-dom. and putting up with so much $h!t from so many teachers who thought they knew more than me. To them I say: You'll get yours!!! >:)

DOOD GIMME GIMME GIMME please?
 

Man I cannot lie and say I am in deperate need, or that my rig sucks for I love it. But the main reason why I need somthing "in the video department" is that I am forced to have to use a 4200ti and listen to my girl yell at me day in and day out that I spend to much time on the PC when I work from home on the PC *LOL* IF any of you have to put up with that hell please understand this! That alone entitles me to somthing decent, that and I am forced at the moment to put up with a $129.99 4200ti from PNY, I had to literally scrap pennies stuck to gum off the sidewalk to be able to afford it because my girl gives me a call about 2 weeks ago saying she needs whatever cash I have and not to question her, so I spotted her with everything I had "money I was saving for a 9700 or at least a 4600" and the next thing I knew I had two new 4 wheelers in my lap! Well to say the least I was super friggin happy, but now I seriously lack in my video department :( The rest of my rig is all sick equipment for this month at least, but the video is just not up to par with everything else :( Please help a poor soul that has a girl that takes all his PC toy money away :( Please I really need a good card or somthing. ALso note that I am a newer user that is on here all the time and try's to keep all the rooms going, you will see my dragon icon in about every room and see daily posts from me, I also tell people to go on here all the time "buttkiss buttkiss" *LOL* but really I do :) Also I write pretty good reviws with allot of grammer errors *L* And you wanna read some funny stuff..?? Well here goes hehe :D

"Three mice are sitting at a bar in a pretty rough neighborhood late at
night
trying to impress each other with how tough they are.

One mouse orders a large scotch, slams the glass onto the bar, turns to
the
second mouse and says, "When I see a mousetrap, I lie on my back and
set it
off with my foot. When the bar comes down, I catch it in my teeth,
bench
press it twenty times to work up an appetite, and then make off with
the
cheese."

The second mouse orders up two tumblers of Jim Beam, slurps them down
in
quick succession, slamming each glass into the bar, turns to the first
mouse,and replies: "Yeah, well when I see rat poison, I collect as much
as
I
can, take it home, grind it up to a powder, and add it to my coffee
each
morning so I can get a good buzz going for the rest of the day."

The macho mice then turn to the third mouse, Butch, to see what he has
to
say about it. Butch lets out a long sigh and says to the first two, "I
don't
have time for this crap. I've gotta go home and screw the cat.""

THE SEVEN DEGREES OF BLOND:

1st DEGREE:
A married couple is asleep when the telephone rang at two in the
morning. The blonde wife picks up the telephone, listens a moment
and shouts, "How should I know, that's 200 miles from here!" and hangs
up. The husband says, "Who was that?" The wife says, "I don't know.
Somebody asking if the coast is clear."

2nd DEGREE: Two blondes are walking down the street. One notices a compact on the sidewalk and leans down to pick it up. She opens it, looks in the mirror, and says, "Hmm, this person looks familiar." The second blonde says, "Here, let me see!" So the first blonde hands her the compact. The second one looks in the mirror and says, "You dummy, it's me!"

3rd DEGREE:
A blonde suspects her boyfriend of cheating on her, so she goes out
and buys a gun. She goes to his apartment unexpectedly and when she opens the door, she finds him in the arms of a redhead. Well, ! the blonde is really angry. She opens her purse to take out the gun, and as she does so, is overcome with grief. She takes the gun and puts it to her head. The
boyfriend yells, "No, honey, don't do it." The blonde screams, "Shut
up, you're next!"

4th DEGREE:
A blonde was bragging about her knowledge of state capitals. She
proudly says, "Go ahead, ask me, I know all of them." A friend says, "OK,
what's the capital of Wisconsin?"
The blonde says, "W."

5th DEGREE:
Q: What did the blonde ask her doctor when he told her she was
pregnant?
A: "Is it mine?"

6th DEGREE:
A blonde had just totaled her car in a horrific accident.
Miraculously, she managed to pry herself from the wreckage without a scratch and was applying fresh lipstick when the state trooper arrived.
"My God!" the trooper gasped. "Your car looks like an accordion that was stomped on by an elephant. Are you OK, ma'am?" "Why, yes, officer, I'm just fine" the blonde c! hirped. "Well, how in the world did this
happen?" the officer asked, surveying the mess. "Officer, it was the
strangest thing!" the blonde began. "I was driving along this road when from out of nowhere this TREE pops up in front of me. So I swerved to the right, and there was another tree! I swerved to
the left and there was ANOTHER tree! I swerved to the right and there was another tree! I swerved to the left and ...." "Uh, ma'am," says the officer said, cutting her off, "There isn't a tree on this road for 30 miles. That was your air freshener."

7th DEGREE:
Returning home from work, a blonde was shocked to find her house
ransacked and burglarized. She telephoned the police at once and reported the crime. The police dispatcher broadcast the call on the channels, and a K-9 unit patrolling nearby was the first to respond. As the K-9 officer approached the house with his dog on a leash, the blonde ran out on the porch, shuddered, and ! dropped to her steps with her face in
her hands. "I can't believe this! I come home to find all my possessions
stolen," she moans, "I call the police for help, and they send me a BLIND cop


THE WORST PART OF THE LAST JOKES ARE "I AM 100% BLONDE AND IN 5 YEARS I WILL BE BALD LIKE MY DAD AND HAVE A FRIGGIN LITTLE CEASAR RING AROUND MY HEAD AND WILL HAVE TO HIDE IN A CAVE AND WILL NEVER SEE A PC AGAIN FOR MY SHINY HEAD WILL REFLECT TO MUCH LIGHT AND CAUSE GLARE ON THE SCREEN SO PLEASE MAKE MY LAST YEARS ON A PC HAPPY WITH SOMTHING GOOD "ESPECIALLY IN THE VIDEO DEPT. :)

Hey also if you are giving away a 4600ti silver from triplex I would be honored for I use a platinum soyo board and it would match perfect! I tried to deal with the company and it was slow and annoying so I did not buy from them, but if I happened to get ahold of one I would be super happy and show off awsome pics of my all silver pcb rig with silver ram stick, silver mobo and silver video card hint hint hint hehe :)

So, there are two giveaway threads going around now that I know of. Is this part of the requirements? Track down all giveaway threads and post in them?



This isn't going to be as easy as I thought.

This is the real prize thread!

If you posted in the other thread please re-post here.

Thanks

Confessions of a techie.
 

***Stands up and looks around slowly***

He... heellloo, My name is Raven, and I'm a ... tech-aholic.

I've been addicted to the "green PCB" for over three years now. This evil has taken everything from me, and I can't get away from it. I've lost most of my friends, my wife has left me and my kids hate me.

This addiction started with something small, a 486 with a 24.4 modem. One day a "friend" of mine gave me an AOL disk, and it was all over. "The first 5 hours are free" he said. After the 5 hours I needed MORE. Then came Cable-Internet, and I was lost. I fought it as hard as I could but I was always drawn back to the blinking green lights of a cable modem, the comforting sound of a purring hard drive. The soft glow of the monitor was like the touch of a lovers hand.

The thrill and elation of fraggin a pixelized warrior, being a conqueror of many lands, seeing my enemies crumble and fall. These became my reality, my keyboard was my shield and my mouse was my sword. I would stand proud over my many victories, only to see them fade and disapear. I was always in search of my next battle. Never seeing that I was slowly falling into a dark oblivion... I am now a fallen warrior, with a rusted blade.

***drawn silence***

... First it was gamming... Then my so called friend visited me again hooked me on Mirc, Kazaa and Morpheous. "Try it" he intoned, "all you have to do is press "I agree". Little did I know I was signing over another part of my soul. I felt like a god, nothing was out of my reach, I could access any information I wanted, MP3's, DVD's, books, patches... it was all at my fingertips. But I always needed more hard drive space, I would do anything for that next Megabyte. I was slave to those all encompasing platers. I even sold the family dog, to afford a 15gig drive...

Sometimes I can't get thru the day without having to burn an MP3 cd... it doesn't even matter what it is. Yep, even a Kenny G cd... It's like an itch I cannot scratch.

***hangs head in shame***

I'm thankful for my true friends that stayed with me, and forced me to realize my addiction. I am now having to go thru the a Cat5, internet withdrawl. I sometimes have flashbacks of being a soldier of fortune, or a knight of old, and the shakes are sometime to great to handle. I'm learning speak normally again, no more lol, l33t, newb... It will be a long road to recovery but with my friends and family I'm sure to make it.

Please favor me with a gift to help me on my recovery and to show that not all technology is bad...

Signed a lonely man in a dark room sorounded by obsoletness...

Hope you like....
Raven

Of course I want to win some free stuff...I posted in the wrong place the first time...go figure.

I'm holding my breath until the results are announced, so please take pity on my and get me breathing again by telling me I have won something.

I never win anything...but regardless, I think TechwareLabs is one of the best forums around. By the way, I posted a couple of weeks ago asking where everyone was...and did suggest a giveaway might be a way to get the boards going again. Does that count for anything??? Like maybe the Network switch...or some RAM...or...hey, why don't you guys throw in a flat screen monitor or something. Hey, you can't blame a guy for trying.

Besides that, my wife keeps telling me I'm spending too much on my computer equipment and she has taken my credit card away and has possession of the check book. HELP me please!!!! I just gotta have something else to play with....

I desperatly need to win
 

I need some new gear, I have an old Voodoo 3 3500 video card and a Sound Blaster Live Value sound card. I buy a PC gamer from the store pop in the CD-ROM and load the demo, try to run the demos (any of them) and get told my graphics card is to pathetic to even run the demo. I was able to scrape up some money for a new MOBO, processor, and ram, I was running an AMD K6-2 500 with 256meg on a Diamond Centronics C200. Now I'm running a Gigabyte GA7VRX mobo with and AMD Athlon XP 2000 and 256 megs of PC 2100 DDR, but it took me a long time to save up for it, and its going to take me quite a bit longer to get a decent graphics card. HELP! I could use just about any gear I can come up with. I have a pathetic stock case p/s and cpu cooler.

Okay I'm done whining now.

ARGH. I continually forget to login when posting. So used to being prompted by other boards.


Anyway, ^^^^ that was my post. Just check the IP logs. Whoop, whoop, whoop.

[Editing previous post into this post]
I don't have any kids to whine about, don't have a wife to nag me (though my ex has started calling me again :/), and I can't use the purchase of 2 new ATVs as an excuse for needing new comp gear... but I'd like some anyway.

I'm a born-again college student living in River W. (penny pinching - wisco heads know whats up), can't afford heat cuz I have to pay for my cable modem, and surviving on ramen. so, please provide me with a little entertainment in my already meager existence by hooking up some gear.

:)

*please?*

back 2 work.... :P

:dance: beige,beige, look`s like shi* beige,beige, old as fuc*
beige,beige sucks to hell , give me a new case and all will be well.
......... PS. any other free hardware u know where to send it

Give away
 

Hello
I would do great with a cd burner and a bit of memory, the cooler seems sweet although i already have a good one, The reasons i cant buy these is that a students life is quite hard when you have too pay your rent and all the food and stuff so if you have pitty for a poor student please give me a few things.

Thanks

i dont have 10forum post, but i have been recieveing your newsletter for a while. i just came here because of the newsletter. i just uninstalled from your newletter from my hotmail account because i have like 100k left and it keeps going over from all the spam i get. i signed up for the forum when i read your guide to cracking xp update.

i need this item in question. as of today, i am fixing to order a nice system. nice on a shoe string budget.
xp1600
256 samsung ddr266
aopen ak75 [sis 745 chipset]
gainward gf4 ti4200 64mb
nice maxtop case all for about $450 with s+h and taxes [in ca]
i cut 4 lawns on the weekend, and went and bought 2 30gb maxtor ata 133s on specail sell at compusa. glad i did or i wouldnt be able to get a computer under 500. i dont even have a drive for this system, im gonna have to reuse my old aopen24x instead of byuing a cdrw. have to have it under 450 because my mom is taking my 50 dollars i borrowed from her to get one of the drives.

my saga begins a year ago. my mom was suppsosed to give me 800 to build a computer, but back then everything was expensive as hell, so then i said like 1000, or 1500. then she lied and didnt give me any money saying that i was the cause and kept going up. i said could i have like 300 to get a new hd and a cdburner, but she said no and didnt give me shit. this was last october/november.

then in decemeber after working for a woman for 3months doing data entry, [was a teacher that didnt put any grades or write reports for students for 3 months and i had to do it] i got $400. the problem was i didnt have a bank account so i gave it to my mom and i was only able to buy 250 worth of stuff. i bought an aopen 24cd burner[the worst ever made] and a gf2 mx400 pci and 128mb pc100. previous to that, i had [and still using now writing this] celeron 500 [66mhz fsb], 64mb pc100, and onboard graphics and a slow loud maxtor 10gb 5400rpm with lots of damaged clusters, no lie. this computer is from 99, and was a "budget" computer then. that upgrade was awesome. i could play max payne [months after it had been out] i could play wolfenstein and all the games. well most of them. i could only play in 800x600 or 640*480 with everything on minium. im supprised ive been able to play as many games as i have. but i cant anymore. mohaa is probably the last game that will "barely" be able to run on this system. ut2003 is a joke, battlfe field 1942 is a joke and most of the latest gen of gmae that have come out in 02 have sucked on this box.

thats why im happy im getting this sytem. for some people my new setup would be a joke, but for me its like 19x better than a 500celly. i was suppose to get 1000, but my sister said she would give me 500 now and 500 on my bday. my bday is in april! how am i supposed to waait and be using a computer that will be 4 years+ old then. this computer is older than my 3.5 nefue.

anyway, ill take whatever you can give me, however, i would really want a new monitor and digital camera. right now and for the last 3 years ive had this box its had a CHEAP ASS MGC "15". i have 15" in quotes because its rated at 13.8 viewable, but thats a lie. its 8.5*11.. i know because i can fit a piece of paper over it peefectly. my screen is so small its not funny. when i had my theoretical $1000, i would get out a tape measure and pull 18.1 inches viewable and think thats what my new samsung monitor would be like. i couldnt even begin to imagine what that must be like having something that great. with the new system im ordering, it is a bit low on stats, but still a good system. i would really like a nice samsung 900nf or 900ift, or a sony g450 or g550 :nod:! i also want a digital camera. i really need a big monitor and a digital camera. even 2megapixels is fine[fuji fine pix 2800 :P]. also, during the last 6 months ive had the suffer by building 2 computers for my moms friends, and then playing games on them, then having to go back to my 500celeron, :cry:. im not lying about any of this either my 3dmark scores arnt even over 2000. look here. even in 800*600 it dosent go over 2000, lol.

Gimme stuff!!! :biggrin:

G'day Techheads. :wavey:

My wife loves me. :love: She cherishes the hours that I spend glued to my keyboard screaming -

:nono: "No way you fragged me from there!!".

When I'm downloading porn, she looks over my shoulder and says -

"Good for you, honey. Let me see THAT one when it is done. What does FFFM mean anyway? :o ".

She brings me beer and snack foods when I am cursing at the damnable mobo because there IS no J812 jumper...there just isn't!!! :cry:

She runs for my cheque-book when I declare that this piece of dog-vomit is too slow...lookit that progress bar crawl!! :mad:

She wept :mercy: for me when I told her about this opportunity to win free stuff. Any stuff, because she doesn't want me spending more hours saying "This green PCB is crap....I need red or blue!".

Okay, this is all the frikken fantasy I built in my head, but I DO NEED free stuff. Anything Free. Just to prove that there is some justice in this world.

But, as the Stainless Steel Rat says - TANJ!! :shake:

Pr0fane out.

I'm new here, but not at many other forums. I love free stuff and I get a fair amount of it. I'd like to get something free here, too.

Here's the funny bit, it's titled 'Aunt Karen':

Hey man quit talkin' about poor
 

8) Ok look... lot's of that stuff about how people are poor... yeah, well i am a college student! Poor is my middle name. Not to mention my computer is from the age of dinosaurs. Only thing it's worth is to type up reports. Internet, forget it. Even one prize would be totally exelent. That and the fact that i have never won anything in my life. College for me is like the poor house, i was dumped here to fend for myself. But anyway I wanna win! :rofl:

I need computer parts to build my self a bionic arm, my organic one was chopped off by ninjas who needed my my hand for a secret magic potion.

Oh and my video card is 256mb geforce 4 overclocked in bits because i have a sweet computer. oh and my motherboard is Zombat 202D AT mobo help help me me

this is my computer http://3dmotion.netfirms.com/comp/PDRM0052.JPG

enough said.

You wanna talk broke? I'm so broke I can't pay attention! Now that's broke!

:biggrin:

Man if people are going to that much trouble to get free stuff then it is not worth trying *LOL* free stuff is nice and I have always wanted to win somthing, but I am not gonna change my screen name like a retard to try to increase my chances *L* If I win WOO HOO if I loose BOO HOO congrats to the winner. It's all good!

agreed accurateimage.

I am not so desparate that something free will determine if I live or die tomorrow. Just would brighten up my day a little :) Seriously I think this kind of contest would be better with a random winner but thats just my $.02.

"it requires virtually no skill at all"

I guess I qualify! :lol:
I always need more hardware, and free is in my price range (it all looks like good stuff :) )
The truth is , since the viagra ran out, nothing gives me a throbing, purple, woody like winning free stuff :blush:
Don't do it for me, do it for the little woman :nod: (she needs it bad, good or sideways ;) )

bybye now :wavey:

edit: The above was intended as humor, and hopefully not offensive to anyone, perhaps rather than hardware, I should win a lobotomy :o

Don't know why anyone would change screen names to win, they will start over at count one, and 10 is pre-requisite to enter. If they keep the same count, then it ties back to the orig name.
I thought it was just to post a sob story - maybe comical of course - as to why you needed the prize.

free stuff
 

i need free stuff.
Im poor
Im broke.
my dog peed on my computer shorted it out. killed the dog, burnt up the computer. Now i have to pretend to be on the computer. i sit there and type on the keyboard but nothing shows up on the screen. now i need some new stuff. im not getting a new dog. well maybe but one that is trained to go outside.
:cry: :cry: :cry:

I agree the woody thing is a little off the deep end. Jazzman does have a point there, it's be kewl to win new stuff, but nothing to go mental about.

But got to respect some of the originality in some of the threads. Makes reading the all the registrants a little less boring...

Well, who won ? Has it been announced yet or did I miss it ?

Dude I am getting the feeling we got played, hope they come through for someone. :confused:
