Just letting everyone know why not been on since Tuesday and won't be on till next weekend at least

anyone who knows about my luck with water cooling and pc's will know that I'm very unlucky

well it's not that this time it's my motherboard this time and I'm hoping it is just that ,due to cash flow problems having to make do with low spec stuff and unfortunately it's not built to last ...so on 3rd board 3rd CPU and poss 5th gfx card in 6 months so as can I again not happy bunny anyway ..hopefully by end of this week coming I should have some sort of system up and running ...I'm trying to do admin stuff from iPad but its hard work and very awkward so maybe struggling this week

Man that sucks :(

Maybe it's time to let someone else assemble your PC? Those failure rates are way above avarage... Just pay a shop an hours wage and they'll assemble it and you'll get warranty on parts and labor :)

Hope to see you in-game soon. It's lonely being the only admin left standing ;)

I thought we had decided the official term was "butt cancer"? :B

If it'll help, you can have the old server hardware. It's not high-end anymore, but it'll still run Minecraft quite well. It's got an Asus P5QWS (http://www.asus.com/Motherboard/P5Q_WS/) Workstation motherboard which has regular PCI, PCI-x and PCI-e slots. It was a truly awesome motherboard back then. It's also got a Core2Quad @ 3GHz, 8 or 16GB RAM(not sure what's in there right now), and an Nvidia 9800GT. It's all assembled in a PC case with hard drive, DVD player and PSU so you can't destroy it yourself unless you open the case... which you aren't allowed to do anymore :P

If you want it, just let me know where to send it :)

Wow, if you look up "generous" in a dictionary you find a picture of J.

And I thought my luck was bad. First getting butt sickness, and now a broken computer. You need to get a genie to give you wishes.

that is amazing I would quite happily pay for postage and a large donation towards the servers for that as at the moment my options are looking like having to splice a Sinclair zx81 with a Texas instramants calculator and a old fruit basket lol ...and I agree demman I just checked and there is a picture of j ....need to make a statue to him and Dom in the town when I get back online ....

ps I PROMISE NOT TO OPEN THE CASE UP ...AND NO WATER COOLING LOL
