I'm not asking anyone to go above and beyond but if you have extra hardware lying around please contribute. That's all I ask.

Not to be an ass kiss but seeing the devotion and passion that she had for OCN about folding is what made me want to set up shop here. I started with nothing but ATI cards and now I'm folding on 4x260's because it's a cause I believe in.

I think we can help. I'm sure other folders have parts enough to support her.

Good idea! Why don't you update the OP in this following fashion:

CPU:
CPU Cooling:
Motherboard:
RAM:
GPU:
PSU:
Sound Card (Optional):
Harddrives:
Optical Drives:
Case:

[Optional]
Keyboard:
Mouse:
Monitor:

Then update as we get parts; it'll help us see how far we are and what parts we need left.

And OP: are you comfortable with setting up the PC and shipping it? If you're not, there's bound to be someone here who's willing. Hell, I'll do it myself if you want.

I have no problem setting it up and shipping it if there's an issue with direct shipping to Val. I'm just kind of seeing what people have atm to see what we can optimize for the best folding results possible. We are OCN, home of extra hardware, let's put it to good use.

In Vals 'I hate to do this' thread, posts were already made about donating parts of a rig to Val.
I am not sure what else has been sent to her. But I know for a fact (since I sent it) that 7750 and ma770-ud3 with 4 gig of ram is on it's way to her.
edit: also sent a noctua cooler and fan with that stuff.

Mr. PaNda and I have a case (Apevia X-Jupiter Jr), PSU (Antec Neo HE500 modular), and a 250gb hard drive.

edit: We were told the parts were not needed, but if we can get a second rig going, I'm sure the offer still stands. Also, the case and PSU can be sold by Val and she can keep the money.

Technically we are OCN, home of "Doing it just 'cause we can", but I see your point

I also have an extra 160GB SATA if you need it, along with a BFG Tech 650W (Not too efficient, 75% if I'm not mistaken, and has 3/4 SATA connectors with plastic tab broken. Don't ask

) if you need them. Just lemme know

I also have some spare cash, so I can buy whatever you're missing and have it shipped straight to you if you want.

This might be the best build I've ever taken part in.

EDIT: Also forgot to mention, I'll have a CM Hyper 92mm after Thanksgiving. I used it in a PC for my girlfriend, but she doesn't like how loud it is so I'm swapping it out for a Xiggy when I get back home. If you need it and are willing to wait til Thanksgiving break, the Hyper is yours

DOUBLE EDIT: Also found this on the [Deals] forum. Willing to buy it and have it shipped straight to you. PM me if you want!

Well I'd like to say if you've already sent anything to Val please let me know so I can update the thread. Would be helpful in knowing what she does/doesn't need.

Many thanks to you generous souls that have already contributed.

suppose I can contribute by bumping this thread!

I should be able to bump quite regularly for the weekend.

Great Job Peops, I'm quite impressed with the quick action. As stated in the other thread any parts needed I'll rip apart one of my folders but it looks like everything is better than my folders!

This is what I have listed so far, I'll update as I go through her original thread and this one. Give me 24 hrs. to get it completely up to date before you start flooding me please.

If you have no hardware to donate but still want to help please see her original post here and donate money if you can.

Have posted a here and in the original thread. I must be invisible

I already sent Val a cpu/mb/ram and cpu cooler.
The mb is a ma770-ud3, so it only has one pciex16 slot. (re. gpu's) - maybe we can scrounge up an 8800 or one of it's reincarnations - they are pretty good folders yes?
