shredward 12 Posted October 4, 2009 Tough luck old chap. We won't smash your chair in the mess (unless the party gets really wild), or let someone move into your bunk . Take care! Ted Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted October 4, 2009 moral of the story ignore your wife when she says clean up the flying room Unless she was the "Staffelführer", of course. Stump, I wish you to find a nugget, or any similar way to get some useful parts together. Until then, you may have a look at real life again (hope you like it - Lol!)

Cameljockey 3 Posted October 4, 2009 (edited) Daaaaaammmmmmmmiiiiiiiiitttttttttttt! That sucks Stump! Where are all of the guardian angels when you really need them. About all I've got that would be of any use at all would be an Antec EA500 PSU, a GeForce 7600GS PCIe, and a P4 2.8Ghz CPU, but you're welcome to any of them if you need them.

Olham 164 Posted October 4, 2009 CJ: Where are all of the guardian angels when you really need them. Maybe they were there - he could have fallen down the stairs, too. Your CPU should do the job - mine is running with 2,33 GHz and it works fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flyby PC 23 Posted October 4, 2009 I'd love to help out. I've got my old rig still kicking about, but it was underpowered and underspec, and when I say it's kicking around, I mean it. It gets the odd dunt now and again just as payback for all the grief and frustration it gave me. I would get rid of it, but it's hard drive was jam packed full of CFS3 stuff, and I keep it 'just in case'. It's a crime when we've got a man down, especially one in the GMax and effects production department, but there's not much I can do to help Stump. I've got a video card you'd be welcome to, I forget what type, Nvidia something, 256mb? - I forget. I can check when I get home. It's nothing great by today's standards, but it was ok. Say the word and it's on it's way. It's the older slot type if you know what I mean. If you want it, just Pmail me your address. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rickitycrate 10 Posted October 4, 2009 Bad lot of luck, but you are well,yes? Maybe you will end up with a better rig in the end? I do hope your files are accessable and that you will be with us again soon. Best wishes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hairyspin 1 Posted October 4, 2009 Whatever you do, don't lose that XP Pro, not if you want to do anything using .MOS files. The .MOS editor needs Managed DirectX, which only runs under XP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herr Prop-Wasche 7 Posted October 4, 2009 Sorry to hear about your loss, Stumpjumper. Sounds like she was a real beauty. Taps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BirdDogICT 3 Posted October 5, 2009 Stupmjumper, Although they're a bit dated, I have a single core FX55 CPU (Socket 939, overclockable to 2.8 with Zalman cooler) and an ATI X1950XTX you can have. I used them with BHaH before I upgraded, and are pretty similar to other systems here (e.g., Olham is happy with his 1950). Overclockable Socket 939 boards and DDR memory are cheap on EBay. PM me if you are interested. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RAF_Louvert 101 Posted October 7, 2009 . Aw stumpjumper, I just saw this thread myself. Man, that stinks! I hope it won't take forever and a day until you can be back in the virtual skies Sir. Perhaps Santa will be very, VERY nice to you this season and leave a new gaming 'puter under your tree. . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
