Is it wrong that I was like "Oh god, what am I about to lose the rest of my savings on?"unless we really demolished your savings in that last auction, "the rest of it" is probably safe. in particular, there will be no clacks involved ;).
if this costs $100 i will do something drastic and ridiculouslike dance in the middle of traffic?
100$ per pack? lord no. pricing will be in the dozens of dollars before shipping ;)

What is the key checking sheet for?the keychecking sheets have a few uses:
Checking how to putback the keys of your kb once you pull them out?

check completeness of a keyset when you're eg pulling them out of your storage bins

Bummer you couldn't shoehorn a GH keypuller in there, I still need one.
I've been using ghetto mods like bent paperclips so far lol.

i had imsto prototype a few spacebars to see how feasible they would be in volume, and the short answer is they weren't. so, no, kit has no spacebars. personally, i think they look awesome >:|
negative, sorry. hashbaz and i might have something in the works that would involve 1.5x mods though *whistle*Please have 1 unit keys in the new pack you speak of!

The time is now (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=37406).
Premium pack isn't available yet. Only Basic for now. There is another thread in Site Announcements if you want more info.
Premium pack will have everything the base pack has and then some.Is it really $0.01 or just first come first serve?
Price is TBD - .01 is a place holder.Are they just not available yet? Or all sold out
Premium pack will have everything the base pack has and then some.

Crap. Really wish I hadn't pulled the trigger on the base pack. I don't know why these didn't go live that the same time :rolleyes:
one of the premium items may or may not be a full round 3 keycap set.
EXTREMELY LIMITED
the premiums will be extremely limited (EXTREMELY) and you can opt to get the premium items without the base items if you want.is that because u don't want to share these mystery keys with everyone?
EXTREMELY LIMITED

If it's not out of line, How much is GH actually getting from the sale price of these items?Depending on how many they ordered, and whether or not SP gave a discount for the keys this is what they cost per key:
Sold out? Are they? I haven't even got around to topping up my PayPal yet ..."Round 1 Sold Out! Check Back Tomorrow for Updates!"
There will be more - fear not:)) :)) I might even contemplate getting out of bed for the next sale.
Keyset?! Or just a handful of novelties?i'm still planning, which means i have no idea.
Oh no :( I missed the first one too :( :(
Premium sets are released on-the-fly issit?
Next wave is up, gogo for the gold!

Sold out for now!
The price for premium was listed as $50 today...is this the set price?
:confused:The price for premium was listed as $50 today...is this the set price?
I can not confirm or deny that.
the gold set is not a premium set. if you want to sub out your base set in a gold pack just cancel your gold pack order and camp for a premium. the premiums aregoing to be exceedingly obvious and much more expensove than any of rhe metallic or base sets
The price for premium was listed as $50 today...is this the set price?
we're still mulling over the premium packs

2:20am -> 4:00am sales Australian time for the loss..
Well at least it's the weekend coming up for us so I should be able to camp through the night.
1) email pings - absolutely
2) releases at times better for asia pacific/europeans - absolutely
Sold out again WTF. This sucks.
2:20am -> 4:00am sales Australian time for the loss..Maybe it's a conspiracy to make it get slightly earlier each time so that we're only awake to buy the premium and pay premium price to even get it sent. :)) :)) :)) :)) :)) :)) *I am joking

I'm also hoping my newly designed and ridiculously awesome cards are delivered in time to make the packs.

My room-mate opened mine for me and did this. I should have warned him.:mad: Be careful opening the Manilla Envelope up. I snipped through the edge of my keychecker sheet when opening it up.

we also forgot to schedule the prototype pack separately, so lump the prototype pack (with the spacebars) in with the premium pack items :)
so how is it determined who gets what out of:
3x Light Blue 27 Key R3 Gamer Set
3x Orange 27 Key R3 Gamer Set
1x Black KBC PBT Engraved Tenkeyless Key Set
1x White KBC PBT Engraved 104 Key Set
1x 119 Key R3 Set (No Space Bar)
These went up a few minutes early. I blame paypal

I just thought of this, and does this mean....blue geekhack.org spacebar?!? :eek:
I can't believe one of the premiums was still available for me - I totally forgot until I saw activity in the other thread. That R3 set will certainly make someone happy. Good luck everyone.
HUGE HUGE HUGE UHGE HUGE HGEUHGEUGH UGHEUHGEUHUEHGUEGHEUGHEUHGUEGHE thanks to everyone who purchased. you're making us very happy site operators. first, that our community is so awesome. second, that we'll be able to shore up some of these old boat anchors we've been serving up data with.
THANK YOU ALL!!!
with all the geeks here you could probably just do a "hardware drive" and get people to throw you a heap of good server gear in donations. lol
Just received my geekhack pack in the mail (gotta lead by example!)...
If you love GH and haven't yet purchased one...SHAME ON YOU! (yes, I am not beyond using guilt) :)
Seriously, this is a unique offering and, as ming stated, when they are gone...THEY ARE GONE!

You 'win' the R3 set imav? :P
There's now 3 cards in the techkeys range... the standard clearish, gold, and a new hologram card that I haven't even seen a pic of yet.
Hm iMav, bought one of the gold pack :DShow Image(http://i.imgur.com/1reIG.jpg)
Care identifying the gh key for me?
Asked a few people, cant seem to place it anyway :p
The colour seems to be different........ Have a few more pics of the upskirt shot :D
Care identifying the gh key for me?That was one of the geekhack keys offered back when I ran the monthly group buy. You don't see those around much as they were only offered once.

All Base Package Items
Techkeys HOLOGRAM Card
At least 1 TechKeys Key (Past, Present, or Future)
can someone help me out?i3oilermaker would have to make the call on that. I would think he could be flexible. If not, I just ordered a techkey pack...maybe he can swap your gold card with my hologram one? ;)

I like the idea of supporting GeekHack and I'm happy with my pack,
But what I like less is that we have absolutely no idea about why you need that much money, how much you already collected (a lot according to what happens in the classified section), what did you buy with that money, what still needs to be done...
I mean you could very well go to Mexico with the collected money and nobody would know!
If it is a collective effort then you have to set goals and give updates imho.
I would probably give more in that case.
we are buying server hardware to maintain the security, robustness and performance of geekhack.org.
we don't divulge exactly what we are buying or what we are running on it for security reasons (we have been thoroughly owned before, and don't wish to repeat that saga)
frankly, the money we have collected is pretty piddly. to date (prior to geekhack pack revenue), we had collected 1650$ from the beginning of time (or when geekhack started taking donations, whichever came first ;). frankly, staff have already donated 2x directly in hardware than 1650$ can buy.
i will say this. we have an unusual hosting platform, we require a high degree of redundancy, but our monthly costs are much lower than your average site. for reference, a site of our size and traffic typically costs 500-1000$ per month to run in bandwidth and hosting fees.
I vaguely remember some one posting pictures of a basement server, I can't recall if it was this forum or not. Might have been my oldbbit coin mining group, now that I think of it.
I've got a server in my basement, don't think I posted pics.
I think GH used to run on a small collection of TI-85s

Its a KÖLCH cap! (Not sure exactly) looks to be for a R3 set (maybe?)

You are so helpful! I can tell that it's from SP and it's not black but more of a dark grey, hard to tell from the picture. I assume the word is German for control or alt or something like that.
EDIT: Tried Google Translate to no avail.
Can anyone tell me what this cap is?

Obviously it's a homage to one of the worlds greatest beers.
Received my Premium Pack goodies today. Not the luckiest one here, though. I got a 104-key set of black engraved PBTs. I actually already have that set, so if any other Premium purchasers need that set and want to trade, just let me know. Very nice bonus gift for my donation. Thanks very much!
please please please if you get a premium pack dont post what you won yet lol i wont get my package till probally around mid December so i want it to be a surprise still :(
also got the gold pack i ordered first still to come LOL

I just got mine in the mail, was one of the R3 orange gamer kits. I happen to have a set of those already. Any chance you want to trade the pbts for the gamer set?

Sure, Halverson, that would be great. I'll PM you my address. Another successful trade with Halverson!
sorry for the n00bish question.. but are all the premium sets gone ? :eek:
we also forgot to schedule the prototype pack separately, so lump the prototype pack (with the spacebars) in with the premium pack items :)
That is such a cool card!
Does that include the Bro Bots auction?
actually there was a miscommunication between boiler and i, so he still has yet to put the spacebars up for sale. he'll put them up for sale when he has time. there will be exactly one "set" with the spacebars, and i believe it will cost about the same amount as a premium pack.we also forgot to schedule the prototype pack separately, so lump the prototype pack (with the spacebars) in with the premium pack items :)
So I never quite understood this. Did you make a 10th premium pack with the prototypes? Or did you add spacebars to the premium buyers? Just trying to gauge if it will ever be possible to get a hold of one.
Sorry for my ignorance but what space bars?
Okay. Spacebar set is mine. :)
Okay. Spacebar set is mine. :)
Split the spacebars? Me likes the one with red words only!
Oh no! Me wants the red-worded spacebar!
This is saddening, who got it? :'(

I bought a prototype pack. Not sure if there were multiple for sale. Unfortunately the space bars are spoken for. One for me, one for RL friend.
NIOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Me wants the red-worded one!
ARGH! Next time........ I will be faster! :cool:
You mean something else? ;)

Sorry, had to...:P
CRAP! This is in the classifieds? I'll get called out for thread crapping... as if I don't enough.
I forgot that I had the package sent home. So I ask, apparently it's "blaze orange" so I can only assume that it's a gamer kit. R3 would have been better but I already have a similar R4 set on order
-Will there ever be another Premium pack for sale?thanks ^_^
I am assuming there will be future fundraisers, but not in the form of a "Premium Pack"
-What does the "At least 1 of iMav's Novelty Keys / Accessories" refer to specifically? And can anyone who got the Gold pack tell me what they got for their random key/accesory?
The keys vary in design and rarity. Some have posted in this this thread
-What does the "At least 1 TechKeys Key (Past, Present, or Future)" refer to specifically? And can anyone who got the TechKeys pack tell me what they got for their random key?
Not many have ordered the Techkeys pack, but feel free to solicit feedback.
Just got my Gold Pack in the mail with a lotus key. My first custom keys!
this one will be more in line with the monthly geekhack key both price-wise and content-wise.
I miss the monthly GEEK HACK key. :'(

Hey Kawa, I sent you a PM a while back about the warped space bar that came in my pbt white engraved set, did you by chance ever see that? I was wondering if there was anything we could do about it.sorry, i totally missed this. unfortunately large PBT parts tend to come out with some warpage, and the KBC spaces are notorious for it. someone has a great guide on bending them straight by hand, but what jdcarpe said is dead on. basically, gently heat the plastic (use heated water) until it's just a little compliant, and then put pressure on it on a flat surface. hopefully someone can link the guide? as usual, it should be in the wiki, but it's not yet :(
