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.

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

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 :(
