Agreed but I don't want this shh- either, hasn't been used in years lol. The Yate Loon fan in particular was essentially bought and never used.

 

I'll probably donate the keyboard to Salvation Army down the street and just toss the fans.

 

No big deal, and you're right- its the thought that counts. Next time I might do PayPal gift cards.

I mean I could use that keyboard if no one wants it. Spilled a beer on my logitech a few months back and the lighting is all messed up and the keys stick.

It's yours, man, since you claimed it. Last time I looked at it it needed to be dusted/cleaned. Despite having been dusted when it was put in the box years ago.

 

I'll take the shop vac on blow mode to it + alcohol pads before I send it out to you, probably Wednesday. Unless we can find a poster mailer sooner.

 

It's a pretty nice board actually and has a palmrest, metal volume slider, and media keys. But once I got my OCN Ducky with clicky switches I ended up loving those, and then built my GMMK with Kailh Box Jades, and my Doraemon themed keyboard with Kailh Box whites (which I actually like best.) Clicky all the way for me now.

leave it Avacado to take from the needy

Anyone want a high speed jet engine Delta fan and/or a Yate Loon huge 230mm fan to blow on a test bench?

 

A regular box fan is probably better but hey.

Ran the model on the Delta wondering if it was the Blowie-Matron from the old Linus video. Sadly only half a blowie. Still should avoid sticking your finger in it. 

Spoiler

 

In other news, I have the stickers for the people that replied packaged up. (had to go find some larger envelopes for the big stickers). After I get them addressed I'll drop em in in the mail.

Can someone please find THIS guy and bring his folding powa to EHW? I did some preliminary stalking, but I don't use social media, so I could not complete the stalk. 

Found him:

 

Here the response

I don't think he want to join us sadly.

Yes, that's me. Thank you for reaching out. I work for a cancer drug research facility and the hardware I utilize for folding at home is part of the thermal testing and benching process before we deploy a system. Good luck to your team

Write him a message and give him our team number and kindly ask him to use it the next time he is thermal testing new hardware.

Yes, I was planning on giving away 5 of the larger and 5 of the smaller stickers this foldathon.

 

I just got mine and it looks amazing. Thank you for making these!

[sweffymo]

I got my sticker the other day as well and it does indeed look amazing!  I have sticker anxiety so it may take a while to find its way onto something, but when it does find a home rest assured it will be well taken care of.

Glad to hear the stickers made it to you guys. I withheld a few stickers in case some get lost in the mail. If anyone that was expecting one still hasn't received them, let me know and I can mail out another.

They saw all the anime girl stickers I put on the envelope and said what is this trash. Yours was one of the larger manila envelopes. I put two stamps on it but maybe I needed 3? I don't mail stuff very often and don't have a postal scale.

I placed my sticker on my 6900XT water block last night. Good news. These aren't typical stickers. The can be stuck on and peeled off with no effort or residue. Quite high quality and I am quite happy with mine.

Those Ballistix heatsinks are shmexy.

Right! Love the lack of LED on those. They don't have a temperature sensor so I don't know how well they actually cool, but they overclock very good for very cheap RAM.
