UPDATE 21:40 24th Nov 2019

We've reached our goal and exceeded it! Thank you so much for the support! Apparently, the soonest I can close the appeal is 13th of December, so anyone who wishes to donate to SBC here until then is welcome to do so. All additional money above the goal will of course go right to him. :)

Please note that my decision to open this up to allow for monthly donations was because one of Inigo's friends asked me to. In hindsight I understand that it was a bad decision in the light of what the funds are actually for.

Now we've obviously gone way over the total requested, I ask you to spare a thought for that part where SBC said he'd lost out on revenue this year, the reason I kept it open was so that his belt wasn't quite as tight as it was prior to the fundraiser, that was on me, not SBC.

If you are honestly not happy that your donation has gone into such a high fund, and you would rather withdraw your donation, then I believe you are able to request a refund up until I withdraw the funds. I am legally allowed to withdraw the funds on Tuesday of this week, (26th Nov 2019) so please ensure you request a refund before then, if you want one.

UPDATE 17:02 on Wed 20th Nov 2019

I wish to make it clear that we changed our original plan to build SBC a PC and get it shipped up to him, this was the original plan, and why we calculated it would need x amount of money.

However, after discussion with various SBC fans, we jointly agreed that it would be far better to send SBC the money and allow HIM to choose his parts and build the rig at his home.

The original price was not edited to suit this change because we KNOW that what SBC needs is a decent rig - a completely new PC, not just an upgrade. His machine is 7 years old so we could not just replace the parts that are broken because today's parts would not be compatible.

SBC will still be sent ALL monies raised (minus the fees that justgiving charges) so that he can purchase parts and build the PC himself. This will be documented, to prove that I will not keep any of the funds.

What you don't know is that SBC's main rig that he uses to create V3, needs replacing ASAP.

I'm not saying V3 is in jeopardy, but it MIGHT be delayed by the issues that SBC is currently having.

In a bit more detail:

Given by our wonderful Eolhin:

In that light, I invite you, to join me, in raising the funds required to build a new rig for SBC, and get it shipped to him as soon as we can!

Can you spare a few clinky shiny *insert your currency here* ? :)

(YOU CAN DONATE USING YOUR OWN CURRENCY, Justgiving will calculate the exchange rate and convert it to GBP for you.)

We have done a rough estimate for now, and we think to have a decent rig (and get it shipped to him) we're looking at around £1,500, but that will change once we get more detail on what he will actually need in said rig.

Obviously any money that is raised above what we spend on this project, will go directly to SBC via paypal or bank transfer, or to a charity of his choice, whichever he prefers.

(screenshots of the actual buying of the parts and then photos of the pc and then proof of shipping, will be provided once funds are reached)

Can we do this in time for Christmas?! :)

PS: Rather than contacting sbc about this and giving him even more emails to reply to, I will be fielding all queries and comments.
