I hope I am not too late to donate some things:

Water:
Swiftech Apogee GTZ (775 and 1366 backplate) (unfortunately the threading of the mounting screws is almost worn out but still worked good enough for me last time I used it, also without the barbs, as they are currently in use.)

Fans:
CoolerMaster 90mm 1900RPM R4-S9S-19AK-GP (2x) (new but I didn't like them because they made a slight clicking sound)
Sharkoon Silent Eagle 2000 120mm (3x used)

Below is a copy of a PM I received today from shoota. itznfb shipped shoota his donations, shoota tested everything, and here is what he found:
I deleted these items from the list in post #1. Please update me with your requests if needed. Thank you shoota for testing everything!

"So some of the items didn't survive shipping and some just plain don't work. Here's the list of stuff that needs to be taken down.

Motherboard #3
1 stick of Ram #4
both sticks of Ram #5
1 stick of Ram #6
both video cards in Video Cards #5
video card #6
Heatsink #3 had its plastic pins damaged, it may install if 3 out of 4 pins is acceptable
Heatsink #5 and #6 were not sent to me so those need to come off the list
Network #3 was destroyed in shipping"

I have a pair of Xeon 5130 2ghz (dual core) looking for a good home. Came out of a 2006 Mac pro I used to have. Would hate to chuck these in the garbage.

Those can be BSEL modded..
We did it to a bunch of 5120's way back in 2006..

[Plan.B]

All PM's replied to. Hardware added. For me, I'm scraping the bottom of my hardware bucket... Thanks everbody

[Johnmark]

Holy smokes !! This must be the biggest give away yet!!
Thank You to all of you that donated your stuff, it's VERY generous and kind!

[mezcal]

My venerable Bad Axe 2 box might benefit from the offered e6600.
It's still running the e4300 (at a cool, undervolted 50% overclock) from the original 2007 build.

Of course I'd prefer to just retire the bx2 and rebuild the box around the i7-3770 on offer so please put me in for that as well.

[radaja]

In for

CPU # 1
CPU # 2

MB # 1
MB # 2

RAM # 2 one kit


Heatsink # 2

Thanks for another Great giveaway.

Yeah, unfortunately each box had so much stuff packed in it they were each extremely heavy. I'm not surprised some things were kia. Thanks again Shoota for going through all that stuff. I wouldn't be able to test all that hardware for a couple months at the earliest.

The OCZ Vendetta 2, Thermalright HR-11 and Iomega USB Powered 2.5" external enclosure are still here in my garage. I can send those out if anyone wanted them.

[OldChap]

I would be crazy not to put my name down for cpu 2

Mem 2 could find a good home here too

[Plan.B]

OK, the list is locked. If you have donations keep them for the next giveaway.

Get your requests in. Will do the drawing tomorrow night.

Yep! I leave for Palo Alto on Friday, but I'm sure I can get it out by then. I hope we do this again in November because I will have a few ivy bridge 3770k's to give away then. Good Luck everyone

You know, if it makes it easier on you, just give me the winning draw on the p5q-em

That item will be easy, as there are only 2 people who wanted it. CPU #2 however, is a different story.

Break out Excel. Write down each lot (horizontally) & each party (vertically). "X" for someone's interest. In the last row, type "=COUNTIF(A1:A99,"X")". Below, type "=ROUND((RAND()*A100)+0.5,0)". Once you're done, Copy & Paste Special (Values). Then it's who's in line--the first or second or thirtieth whatever.
