Donation Drive: Give 3x ASUS VH222K monitors to Racer_S

Post by **skipclarke** » 13 Nov 2008, 15:24

Update: Crowing has given his TH2Go to Racer_S, and asked that we try and raise money to get Racer_S three panels to go with it. Rather than try and sell these, and then try and get new panels for Racer_S, I'm looking to raise money to cover their cost and give them to Racer_S.

As some of you may remember, I had a hard time with my ASUS VK198Ts. ASUS replaced them with three VK222H 22" panels.

The panels work great, but I'm not a fan of the ASUS warranty. If something goes wrong with these, I can't afford to be without them for the time it would take ASUS to repair them. Running the forum doesn't give me that luxury.

So, I picked up three Dell 22" panels, and now I need to sell these. They sell for about $300 each new, before tax and shipping.

This is funny. A couple days before the ChipIn thingy appeared on the site, I decided to pay my dues to Racer_S and sent him a little e-cash. Now we're raising funds to ship him your monitors. Someone's gonna have a merry little Xmas :lol: (and he's been a good boy alright)

Hats off to Crowing !

25%+ on the donation meter in less than a day! :rockout

Anyone know what kind of graphics board Racer_S has? He might need a few extra dollars to upgrade for the TH2Go.

I seem to recall 2K saying they would give him a nice board after he fixed Bioshock, but I don't know if that ever came through.

Mine shows $277, 13 contributors, for 27%. Probably just a browser cache issue.

Hm, odd.

How the hell do I go about clearing the cache of a flash element ?. ..

Emptying your cache in general should do it. Also, if I hold shift before refreshing in FF, if forces the page to fully reload.

I see 67 only too!!!!

Have tried full reloads already, it doesn't budge. Have tried removing the element with adblock, or stopping it with noscript, then re-enabling it, and it still only shows $67! :(

On a side note: "PayPal Conversion Rate as of 19 Nov. 2008: 1 British Pound = 1.46067 US Dollars"
Ouch :(

Funny, because I checked well before you made that post and it said $365.

Post by **skipclarke** » 19 Nov 2008, 18:48

It jumped while I was grabbing the pic and posting it. It now says $365.50 for me.
