The UK can take comfort that for the next week at least, the 14 weirdest collection of people have been gathered into one place, the big brother house! at least while they are there the rest of this rapidly declining country can get on with things in a little more normality!

PS:- I would like this shuttle to play with while my wife hogs the TV for the next 13 weeks! (I think you know why!!!)

Cassiuss

I should win the Shuttle PC because my current config is really old and it's proper time to change it and enjoy comfortable work with comp again because I almost forgot how it is to work with full stable and quite fast computer

Does one need to be in the EU to win, or does having a team in the Euroleague count? (Edit: what about sending to a European address that's not mine? Someone could then forward it to me.)

Anyway, I'll tell you why I need it.

The story goes like this. Many years ago God came to Abraham and told him: "go forth and multiply." So Abraham took out his pocket calculator, and did a few multiplications.

But that was not good enough for God. So Abraham bought a CPU, and wrote a program for it, and lo, it was good (after he got rid of the bugs).

Years passed, and with them grew God's demands. He wanted more and more multiplications, to make the grass green and the water flow, and the clouds roll in the sky. And so Abraham first went with SSE and then SSE2 and SSE3, but that was not enough.

So to save himself from God's wrath, Abraham decided to get a fast GPU, which can do multiplications in both vertex and pixel shaders, and even after that, when blending. But, having to travel from place to place, he couldn't carry a large PC, so he bought a Shuttle XPC.

And so to this day the children of Israel celebrate the Day of the XPC, and no one is considered to have become a real child of Abraham if he does not have one. I must not break this sacred tradition, and therefore I must win this Shuttle PC.

"Unfortunately due to shipping restrictions we can only ship this to a European location"

Hmmm, I used to be a Nvidia user until my wife bought me a 9800PRO which I modded into a 9800XT. I had so much fun with this card that I was a complete ATI fan. Recently however, ATI seems to be a little behind Nvidia so I should win this ATI powered Shuttle to make me believe again. And another thing, my beloved 9800PRO/XT just died. Boo Hoo.

I have a pc on which i work daily and surf the internet but there are some problems with it.

It is from the year 2000 and the capacitors from the motherboard are damaged because of the time and dissipated heat.I still use sdram (512MB) cause i cannot affort to change the whole computer.I installed Windows various times on my computer but it locks a lot and it is very slow(Athlon Xp 1700+).
As an ati fan i sticked with my old AGP video card which is a Radeon 9100 128MB.
My tv tuner(a 1998 AIMSLab Xtreme) has also to suffer because of the motherboard and the image moves in all directions when i launch the tuner application(the tuner cannot have drivers installed cause it is too old and i use dscaler for it to work).

I'll put some pictures as attachment for you to see my old computer(i'm waiting for it to crack in any minute).

The case is painted by myself cause it turned from white to yellow because of the age.It was painted with automobile paint.
I also have problems with the fans cause they are old and despite i took care of them and pourred them oil,they still make terrible noise.
The courious thing is that i have 2 old hdd-s one quantum (20) and one maxtor (20),they do a lot of noise but they have not developed bad sectors till now.







It would be a very nice thing to win this computer...it is perfect for surfing the internet.
To demonstrate you that i am not lying,joking or fooling around i'll tell you one more thing:I'm from Romania.

May the most in need for this computer win!

Description


SAGE AN/FSQ-7 computer. Note the phones located on the end of every cabinet to save time calling in problems.


The AN/FSQ-7 used 55,000 [color=#0000ff]vacuum tubes[/color], about 1/2 [color=#0000ff]acre[/color] (2,000 m²) of floor space, weighed 275 tons and used up to three [color=#0000ff]megawatts[/color] of power. Although the failure rate of an individual tube was low due to efforts in [color=#0000ff]quality control[/color], so many were used that the daily failure rate was in the hundreds. Each center had staff dedicated to replacing dead tubes by running up and down the racks of machinery with shopping carts filled with replacements. The AN/FSQ-7s remain the largest computers ever built, and will likely hold that record in the future. Each SAGE site included two computers for redundancy, with one processor on "hot standby" at all times. In spite of the poor reliability of the tubes, this dual-processor design made for remarkably high overall system [color=#0000ff]uptime[/color]. 99% availability was not unusual.

I should win cause I'm now out in the garage with one of Zee's old rigs and
F@*kin NME's burnt out 9800 which I still cant get to work since I bought it!!

That's why I have to win!!!

I can't be considered because of the Shipping Restrictions (US Resident here), but that's ok. If I did win it would force me to break a vow I made to myself... "NEVER to own a P4" :P

So Good Luck to whoever Wins!! I really do hope you enjoy it. (At least it IS an ATI system)
