Christian will pick up the PC from me soon, and if all goes well, he will deliver it to Frank within the next week!

"Normal" people only need the compressed data, but a programmer of a codec need both,
uncompressed and compressed data. That even more than "lossless" people need ;-)
After seeing the PC I'd bet CiTay has a secret tickle to keep the PC for himself and disappear mysteriously.

Is there someone here in forum who can distinguish between real and faked images?

Like, photoshopped images, or cd images? If the latter, how can you fake one?
Enlighten me as to what you're talking about, please, Frank

ChristianHJW was at my place today to pick up the new PC. He is really a nice person to talk to and quite motivated. Tomorrow he will visit Frank Klemm and deliver the PC to him, and he'll also take some pictures. I don't know how soon the pictures will be uploaded here, but Frank will definitely get his new PC tomorrow!
Citay. One last thing. Did you upgraded all devices firmware to the latest?. I am a upgrade firmware freak. Just a reminder.

Yes, of course! Even the IDE controller has the newest firmware.

That's what i meant. I think you've all seen pics of the PC by now.
I’m somewhat experienced with building PCs, and I have to say that I’ve learned some things seeing the pictures and specs of Frank’s new computer. Specifically sound dampening materials along with the silent power supply and cpu fan.
I’ve usually thought along the lines keep fans going to keep things cool, allowing some over-clocking ect. After seeing Frank’s PC, I can’t believe I’ve been listening to my computer’s fans for this long. Perhaps I’m just really behind the times or something, or just not paying attention to the technology.
Anyways, I advise anyone who is going to build a new PC soon to search a bit on the internet for building a silent PC. There are sites that sell sound dampening materials, silent power supplies ect.
Again, nice job CiTay… in many ways I think my next pc build will mirror your’s for Frank. Although I probably won’t be building it for another few years…

I am now about 60 km from Frank's hometown, sitting in a hotel with WLAN access, checking company emails. After another customer meeting this afternoon ( first one this morning was splendid, i should come here more often ) i will meet Frank in his appartment and hand over the PC to him.
CiTay made a great job with it, i had problems to hear if it's actually running yesterday when we did the last kernel upgrade downloads together. What a ride from CiTay's hometown ( West Germany ) to this place here ( East Germany ), about 400 km in 3 hours ..... LOL ..... i arrived 0.45 AM here in the hotel, just enough time for a beer before going to bed, and dead tired .....

Now I know how musepack was tested

Here the pics from Frank and his new PC.
The fat guy with the beard on 3 of the pics, thats me, you guessed it .....
http://matroska.free.fr/team/Frank/
I have plans to make a dedicated website for this discribing the idea behind the donation and to make some comments on each of the fotos ..... lets see if i find the time to do that
I dont know if Frank has plans to post again here about his new, wonderful PC, he is not a man of many words i think, so you better dont wait for it ....
Rest assured, his new baby made his eyes shine, like only a tech-freak's eyes can shine when looking at a PC .... LOL !!
A big 'thank you' again to anybody who donated and helped us to make this possible. The biggest thanks of all, no doubt, goes to CiTay, who must have invested endless hours into this project and finally created an 'artwork' of a PC, and to Dibrom and JohnV who allowed us to use this wonderful board to get this project going.
Now lets hope the PC does what we all hope, i.e. help motivating Frank to continue working on MPC ......

Thanks CiTay for all the works you've done for the PC and donation process. It does really look like you've put a lot of hard work to make this happen. And Chris, thanks for bringing in the idea to payback something to Frank from the MPC fan club.

I'm glad that this was such a success. I really did my best to build this PC. I'm grateful for everyone who donated and made this possible, and thanks for the trust you put in us, i don't take it for granted. I think we really achieved something.
Congratulations!

Mr. Timer and Ms. Sideboard to be honest

You know what they say.. about a picture is worth a 1000 words..
Now that I see Frank, I can understand more about the whole concept, he seems to be a very low profile character, shy, who needs to be 'pushed' to be awaken..
One last comment.
Is the monitor refresh rate correct or way too low? or you simply need to adjust the picture frame & geometry.

I'm so glad that this kind of thing can happen 
Really, I've never heard a story like that on the net, and it's great that it happens here and for MPC (from 2 persons at the origin of Matroska).
edit: and of course thanks to Citay and Christian that could make this possible.
