With an official date soon to be confirmed on when we start our race, Team AU have come to a bit of a roadblock. Collectively, it appears we have run a little short of a full gaming rig for our charity race.

Because of the extensive planning around which game, venue , streaming technology and other issues - we fell behind on our intentions to come together and build a machine. 

At this stage, we have a case. Thanks to Renegade and Thermaltake, we have a V71 Full Tower with an epic void just begging for parts. 

Renegade had his sights set on covering a motherboard just as I post this, but unfortunately this has fallen through. (Overclocker's Shop & Swap is highly unpredictable!)

Renegade has also reached out to some Australian PC stores for consideration to borrow a built machine, but these negotiations have been met without a response. 

So - we ask the community. We ask those who may support our cause. 

Can you lend us parts for a rig?

For anyone who would lend us parts, Renegade will draft a written and signed agreement to ensure your beloved parts will be returned in one piece. Reasonable considerations such as "No Overclocking" will also be noted.

Can you sell us parts for a beast PC?

If you have some gaming PC spec bits and pieces that might interest us, please get in contact. 

Could you be so bold as to donate any parts to the cause?

We'll love you for it. Seriously - I'll have to hug you. For ANY parts that are donated with no strings attached - when we've completed the race, the parts will be sold in an online forum and the money will go to Youth Off The Streets. You'll even receive a charity invoice in your name to claim the amount on tax!

For any parts that we receive, I will be customizing the Thermaltake V71 case to honour those who lend us parts, plus some cool additions of my own. We will also be posting a vlog of our progress on YouTube shortly. We had a bit of "Adobe Premiere 101" training to do before we could go live with some YouTube goodness.
