I'll be getting rid of these by the end of the day if there is no interest in them.
If you want to just package these all up into a box, I can send you a prepaid UPS label for them. (y) I can put all 3 to use.
 
I have a pretty decent number of 500GB and 1TB hdds if those are something you have an interest in.
I mainly didn't want to see them tossed. It's always easy to throw an additional back up on a drive like this and just put it away or something. And I was going to use the memory in an older laptop to see if it has bad ram in it atm.
 
Hey guys, I have a few freebies for you, no payment for shipping required I will ship the items for free to the lower 48 states only, instead buy yourself beer or coffee instead.

First item is a Supermicro X8DTN+-F motherboard with dual Xeon E5645 (12 cores, 22 threads in total) and 32 gigs of ram and blackpate, enough to get you going on proxmox, truenas CORE/SCALE etc whatever floats your boat. There is one ram slot that does not work (see photo with black mark markings; computer will not boot up if ram is installed on this slot) and i forgot the ipmi password but you can reset it with this tutorial otherwise everything works. No cpu coolers included but can get some dirt cheap CPU coolers on aliexpress.

The second item is a Fossil Gen 4/Gen 5 USB charger. Unfortunately, my Fossil watch fell apart twice even after sending it in for RMA, the replacement lasted a month before it fell apart as well lol :LOL: so here's the charger.

finally, 1 x performance plus balance audio cable E134689 + 1 x performance plus high performance linear bandwidth video cable E134689

pm with your shipping address!

cables and motherboard+cpu gone

I have a ryobi jig saw like that, it's always done everything I needed a jig saw for.
 
Ok i have a box full of pc wall cords (12) and one older westell router. Also in the box w/ the router is some older Comcast tv cable modems, i guess. If anyone wants them all just let me know, they'll go out in a priority mail box to the person paying the postage for them.

If anyone just wants the pc wall cables, i can ship by themselves.

I have an arduino with proto shield and a whole box of resistors/capacitors and ICs from my college days. If you want it just toss me shipping costs.

In this picture from right to left: AA battery holder with leads, Arduino triple stack (authentic Arduino, Wifi module, and Proto shield), Servo motor with 2 arms, 30V 150A Mosfets, For some reason a Raspberry Pi touchscreen LCD from adafruit, zener diodes, block terminals, new pcb proto board, huge box of resistors/capacitors/Integrated Circuits/Humidity sensor etc.

This stuff might be worth something to someone.

You pay the cost of shipping and these bits are yours...

Gigabyte Geforce 9800 GT
Sapphire radeon x1800 gto with a really cool picture of an alien
I keep an old GT 730 around for troubleshooting. So as antiquated as they are, they may hold some value in the same regard.

MSI Z68-gd65 with I3-3220
XFX Vega 56 with heatkiller waterblock.
No air cooler included
MSI RX 580 that some ****tard sold me knowing it didn't work (scratched traces), but has an air cooler. It doesn't fit the vega, but someone industrious may figure out how? I also have one of those liquid silver pens to try and redraw new traces or something. I don't know...I am tired of looking...just makes me mad.

Also have a few FX-4300s with cooler if anyone wants one.

Do you have pics of the damage?

Those traces aren't broken. There's some trash on one of them that might obscure a broken trace but the ones with the copper exposed just need some protection.
Well, then it is something else, cause she is dead.

But, if memory serves, one really does look like it has a tiny break....I haven't looked at it in over a year though.

Any chance you could clean up that area with a q-tip dipped in alcohol and post another pic? How big are those traces? I could make an attempt at repairing those--I do a fair amount of smallish SMD soldering at work, so I might stand a chance.

I took those pictures years ago. It is buttoned up now and just sitting here. If you want it, you can have it, but I really don't want to spend time opening it up again. It'll fit in a medium rate box, so only $14 if you want to test your luck.
 
Fair enough.

I have a CPU/Mobo/RAM combo up for grabs. It's a working pull from an old HP tower (I wanted the case). i3-3240, 8GB RAM, rear I/O plate included. $15 shipped

does it use a standard atx power supply and header? If so love to take it!
 
I did a bit more cleaning / sorting here and have a couple sticks of memory that I'm looking to get rid of for the price of shipping. I'd think $10 for both should cover shipping. If there's no interest in about a week I'll be getting rid of them.

Dell 4GB PC3 12800 SDRAM SNP531R8C / 4G

I have 2 of these 4GB sticks. They are brand new still sealed in their packaging.
