Too late. I released dibs. I don't think it's smart for me to continue working on this board when

1. i dont need it
2. it looks like a fuse and regulator are blown

I sent a pm to jbltecnicspro and kindly let him know that i am releasing dibs and told him you were interested. You better send him a pm asap :cool:

Besides you just sent me a cap last month. No way you can say you haven't contributed lately.
 
Anybody need an external hard drive enclosure? I have a WD enclosure that I removed a drive from so that I could use it as an internal. The enclosure is USB only (no eSATA/FireWire) and can probably be reassembled like new once I find the screws.

I also still have that internal 5.25" fan bay for a 3.5" hard drive that I posted a few months back.
 
anyone needing or wanting some photo gear like straps or filters? available for the cost of mailing.

Nikon N2000 camera strap

imyourzero -- can you send me a photo of the fan bay?

Also, might want to list the size of the HDD enclosure and whether it's IDE or SATA inside. Just sayin'.

Still got that mobo, not surprisingly. This post here tells all about it.
 
you know what imyourzero?

I will take that fan/hdd bay, I believe I have the Antec case it will snap right in to

Oh yeah, well you know what?

You're more than welcome to it, sir. Your posts have kept me highly entertained during the past few months - we seem to have a similar sense of humor. :)

PM with your addy and I'll get 'er out.
 
I want to put up for grabs for actual cost of shipping:
All gone


Will have more once I go through some stuff. Also I have tested this stuff and it all works good.

Been behind on getting some of the freebies out to people. Had some family over for a short vacation. All freebies will be out tomorrow. Sorry for the delay.

Freebies i still have. Will be adding more soon:
Celeron D 352 Socket 775
Intel Pentium 4 640 Socket 775
Intel Pentium 4 520 Socket 775
80mm fans
misc pci (non express) graphics cards
misc connectors of all kinds
misc fans without pigtails
misc sdram
misc 3.5" ide drives lots of 40gb drives

Still looking for the following:
3.5" ide drive usb enclosure

2gb and up compact flash cards
compact flash to ide adapters

Also, i began building a backup rig for myself after collecting a few parts. Managed to get an AM2 CPU locally and set to put this thing together. Unfortunately the 8800 i had is borked and displays artifacts all over the place.

Does anyone have a nvidia 7-9 series card to spare or sell uber cheap or even an ati equivalent?

yo 404, what SDRAM do you have? I'm always on the lookout for 6ns stuff for the retro rig

I'll definitely get back to you on that. I have the chips right on my desk right now. Just have to do some research out how to identify each one.
 
Hey, 404 -- if any of that SDRAM turns out to be EDO SODIMMs -- particularly 128mb ones -- let me know, OK? I somehow doubt it'll happen but ya never know ;)

Any chance you might be interested in a 256MB card and PCMCIA reader?

There was a listing on AT for some EDO ram that I just saw earlier today.

EDIT: $1 a stick:

@t_ski -- that's desktop stuff. I need laptop stuff. Also, IIRC I have like 3 posts over there, maybe. I'm quite happy [H]ere...

Thanks for looking tho!
 
I'm moving soon so these items below I have no use for is free if you pay shipping.

1. Charger for a HTC Sensation
2. Master Combination Lock (will include combination) it is a Blue color
3. Stock Intel Heatsink/fan for a Socket 1366, never used
4. Wii controller Silicon case, not the wii motion plus version of the case, in black color.
5. Smart Joy, connects your Playstation 2 controller to a USB port so you can use it on the PC. Not sure if it still works as I have no controller to test with, was working the last I've tried it. Label seems to have fallen off.
6. Stack of cards from the Star Wars Collectible card game. I never played my cousin gave em to me.
7. Stephen Colbert's book I am America and so can you.
 
LAST CHANCE ON THE PHYSICALS.


From my for sale thread, I'm offering up these items as freebies as long as you folks can understand you may need to pay *a little more* for shipping on account of bulk or weight.

It goes without saying that I'll only allow freebies to those who have a history of giving out freebies themselves.

Kensington External Battery Pack for USB Devices
Sparingly used. Still holds a full charge. Probably recharges your (modern) phone about once or twice in between charges.
Curiosity got to me and I opened it up. Two separate lithium pillow packs that can be replaced so this thing doesn't end up being completely disposable.

You need this.

I have a Sertek S521 ISA sound card, based on an ESS AudioDrive ES1688 chipset. It's not great but it makes good noise :D I do have drivers archived for it (which I can email to you) but I can't guarantee whether or not they work on DOS/Win3.x... I upgraded to a Sound Blaster before I had a chance to test them. I can also (re)locate jumper setting info for this card and send you the link -- there's a website about old ISA cards (and very early PCI cards, and old mobos), I just have to find it there.

This card does include an ATAPI interface for CD-ROM drives (a standard drive controller card is HDDs and floppies only). It's not a proprietary interface --standard IDE-- but it's dedicated for CD drives so I wouldn't hook an HDD to it.

PM if you're interested.
 
I also have a Pentium 3 CPU -- SL5FQ -- 1000/256/133/1.75V -- click here for more info.

This is VERY untested -- came in an incompatible system that wouldn't boot because the mobo had fried. I don't know if this works and I've no way of finding out.

I can send this with stamps so unless you need it to come Priority I won't even bother asking for shipping costs.
 
Still could use the below list if anyone has anything :)

Trying to get an Mac G5 (Power PC) tower up and running for a friend.
I could use these parts:
- G5 compatible install discs (Leopard 10.5.8 or below).
- Compatible Mac keyboard and mouse
- Side panel
- Power cord
- DDR ram
- Expansion bay covers haha

Anything that would work on this setup would be nice for them. It's older tech so back ups would be nice. Thanks in advance if you have anything.

Up for grabs: 1200MHz Socket 370 Celeron with 256KB L2 cache, 100MHz FSB. Has IHS, should be good for overclocking. (Untested)

Looking for: Any Socket A processor faster than an Athlon XP 1500+
 
Currently have these things up for grabs --
ISA Sound Card
Untested P3 1GHz

Also have a Rosewill RNX-N150HG. This does not work for me! (Maybe it works for you.) Bought it in Feb of this year, started dying immediately -- it's the long and slow type, took it till a couple weeks ago to become completely useless. Connects to a network fine, but won't pipe data through it. No flow, no go, ya know? :p Lotsa smart people on here so I'm sure someone can fix it. Comes in full retail packaging with original everything. (Rosewill, for their part, gave me a $10 credit and said I didn't need to send anything. THAT'S good service! :D )
 
@t_ski, Joseph F -- got off my lazy butt and looked :p Intel didn't make a Coppermine P3 faster than 1133MHz. That's a Tualatin, meaning I can't use it.

I haven't forgotten about you.

I'm having some trouble getting some concrete specs on the pc133 sticks i have here. If you want, I can pm you the chips on the sticks i have here. Maybe you will have better luck researching the ram chips. Most of the stuff i find on them is merely vague promotional info on them.
