Does that link work? I foolishly bought a case off craigslist. The guy said the rails were in a bag in the case, but the bag only contained one set of rails.

Its a coolermaster storm case, but i believe all haf x series will work as well.

Yeah, CL can be a bargain or a bust. I once bought a 40gb 2.5 ide drive that was dead after it hit the ground in the parking lot. :(

Unfortunately, I don't have those style rails or anything that could be made to work. Hopefully someone else can help more!
 

Those look pretty easy to make a copy of with a 3D printer. I've had to make miscellaneous odds and ends like that before, like keyboard feet, I/O covers and slot plates for video cards.

It does take a few hours to design the part and work the kinks out, but once you have the model, you can print as many as you want.
 
this is going to be a weird one. I need a bunch of IEC power cables. The more the merrier/whatever you can spare/whatever can fit in a flat rate box. Bought a ton of these from ebay and they were some cheap chinese ones with 20 gauge wire in them. The connector end gets hot to the touch when plugged into just a monitor.
 
Which IEC? Common ones are C5 (laptop), C7 (gadgets), C13 (typical desktop), and C19 (server). Then there's IEC to IEC and NEMA to IEC.
 
just your standard NEMA to IEC commonly used in desktops

I gave all mine away already, but I always end up getting a computer or monitor without a power cable and now I'm short like 4 of them. Oh well! I'm sure someone has a bunch laying around for you.

I had like a box full of them in the attic a few years ago, I'll look in the morning.
 
Looking for either a H97 or Z97 ITX motherboard...

Working on some custom chassis designs & have a need for an ITX motherboard for fitment & thermal testing...

I have an i7-4770S CPU & two 8GB sticks of Corsair Dominator DDR3 RAM, hence the need for the specific chipset...

Also looking for an AM4 socket ITX motherboard, will use this for fitment & thermal testing of an APU specific custom chassis...

Thanks...!
 
I also have a number of 2GB DDR2 modules for $5 shipped.

If you still got these, I can use them. My DDR2 stock for repairing machines is getting low, just pulled a bunch of sticks out of my drawer I thought were good that went bad.
 
You know some days...

I gave away all my spare motherboards last week and now I need a motherboard.

Anyone have an Intel P4 motherboard with SATA I? AGP preferred. On-board video might be ok as long as there is a Win9x driver available.

My current one, a Gigabyte P4-848 (2.8HTghz) series is acting erratic. I was setting it up as a multi-OS system for various legacy applications (like an auto repair program that is locked to a 1997 Win95b drive image) and I think the motherboard is going south. It will not hold BIOS settings (battery is fine, BIOS flashed to latest, etc) and now it is randomly failing to boot up.

I can't gamble on it as it will be hosting 6-8 different drive images (win95, win98, w2k) which I swap back and forth with front bay mounted SATA drives.

Already tried running the Win95b image on an AM2+ board I have, even with some hacks to the OS it just laughed at me. Pity as it runs flawless on the P4 after some hacks.

Did you try a different power supply?

I have some old Dell Optiplex GX620s and an old Intel Desktop Board with a Pentium D in it that someone here never claimed.

Three different power supplies, same results. Started with forgetting the BIOS settings when the power was disconnected. Even tried flashing the BIOS, pulling all the add on cards, swapping out the AGP for a PCI video, etc. Something is on its way out.

replace the cmos batter and double check for bad caps.
 
Maybe but for the time it would take I'm better off just replacing the board.

Depends on if you want to bother reworking the board or not. You can get cheap chineseium capacitors on ebay, preferably the Chengx/Chengxing brand (the best of the dodgy.) I've used them for years with no major issues yet on stuff I don't want to spend tons of money on getting real Nichicon/Rubycon caps. Ebay seller Bruceshark had tons of them.

Be sure to check both as he has different stuff on both.

Literately not interested in doing this. No guarantee it will fix the problem and for the time expended I'd rather just pick up a $50 board on Ebay and be done.

I just figured I'd post here first as I gave 6-8 boards away in the last month. Thank you for your input.

I have a four GX620 SFFs with Pentium Ds, but the shipping would be atrocious. You can have one or more if you want them.

Thanks for the offer but can't use the format. I need at least 3 open 5.25" (CDROM/SSD Dock/tape drive) and a floppy bay.

I'll check after I get home from work tonight if nobody answers today. I might have one.. if I do, I'll check if it works.
 
Correction, just found in my hardware pictures that I do have it. (broken heatsink fan blade, but I'm sure it is no big deal) PM me your address again, and I'll get it shipped out tonight. 99% sure it works, since I only put stuff in storage that works, but I'll test it again.

Anyone have a spare power adapter for a laptop? Helping out a U.S. Veteran by getting their laptop running again.

Looking for:

HP/Compaq:

PPP009H Series
PN: 463958-001
Input: 100-240 Volt, 1.7 Amp

If I can get this adapter I'll put up a out-of-warranty but perfectly working 3TB WD Red as a freebie here.

If its for a vet then sent me your PP and i'll give you enough money to buy one. There's a few ranging from 10-14 bucks on ebay.

You will want to double-check, but looks like this one may work. $8 from Amazon.

Do not buy shitty Amazon power adapters for laptops, they fall under the same category as shitty $20 ATX PSUs for desktop PCs.

They will fail, often times catching fire or exploding and destroy your laptop. I can't count how many customers I've had buy these things and kill their laptops, requiring expensive motherboard replacements or often an entirely new laptop.

Always do research and try to find the original OEM adapter and avoid generic chineseium black label with white text "REPLACEMENT AC ADAPTER"

Here's a genuine HP adapter, but it's missing the mickey mouse power cord:

Power cord that probably works with it:

Anyone have a use for one or more old PCI cards?

Sound cards:
-------------------
I found three Creative Labs Sound Blaster model # CT4810 (Vibra 128)
One Creative Labs Sound Blaster model # CT5803
One S3 Sonic Vibes 86C617

NICs:
--------
1x Network Everywhere NC100 10/100
1x Linksys EtherFast LNE100TX 10/100

They are going for a few bucks on eBay, but not worth much so if someone here can use them I'll gladly give them away for the cost of shipping. Take one or all, I don't care. All pulled from working systems, but no guarantees as I have no way to test.

If this is the adapter I think it is, I find them all the time for $1 at the local goodwill. Just checked my spare...yep, same one I find all the time. I'll see if I can get one for you. PM your shipping address if you don't already have a genuine one as the goodwill ones are genuine HPs. :)
