If the moderators will permit...

For any PF readers in Sydney, Australia, I just thought I'd mention that I'll be giving away a motherboard, CPU and 8GB ram, free to some deserving person. The catch is that the lucky person must come and pick up the items (northern beaches area).

wow, you really are giving that away? wow, that's nice of you. I initially expected a package from 1990 but that's not the case. Good on you.
