Odd request - does anyone have any extra old style Lian Li hard drive trays? They’re a little under 6” long and they have 4 corner grommeted thumb screws for sliding into the bays. I recently found my case only has one and I’d really like another one or two to expand some storage. Ideally including the 4 mounting screws.

I have 2 Asus routers that were retired recently, both are functional and complete with antennas and adapter. Both have metlin installed.

AC68U
AX3000 (RT-AX58U)

$15 shipped each should cover it. Both? $20.

Do you really need pictures? Send PayPal email for an invoice.

normally I would try and make use of them, but the units themselves are dated from 9 years ago... just no point in trying to make them work...

in any case, seems like nobody wants them. One more week then they go in the trash

Roku soured a lot of poeople with the forced update that if denied bricks the device or forces you in thier arbitration.

Is the hitch assembly staying on? (Long shot I have a newer Hyundai). If you say Yes, I will do the compatibility research.

the arse end rusted out like no other after NEVER being washed. it possible the hitch survived but may likley need sanding and painting. if i can remember to take a peak


are those socket 939 CPUs? EDIT: pretty sure newer then that

True, I guess for novice users people didn't care but obv inclined users opted not to continue using their products. Unfortunately I'm stuck using Roku devices at the moment because 2 of the 3 TVs in the house are Roku devices from like 5+ years ago, and my wife is comfortable using them.

Someone recently gave me a newer fire stick and the experience is 100x better. once these TVs blow up I'll be ridding myself of all roku devices
 
Looking for an older, but still current Amazon echo show. In laws have an ancient-ass Echo show 5 from 2019 that functions like it was made in 1980, need something slightly newer. Thanks!
 
Long shot - does anyone have PSU cables for CX750M? The grey label. Only have the PSU and lost all the cables.

Amazon seems filled with generic cables, and I can't make sense for Corsairs cable table to see what cables I actually need.

A bit side topic. If you have any modular cables that fit the PSU, you could use a multimeter in voltage mode on the other end of the cable to see if it matches the standard voltage pinouts. That way could use any cables you have laying around....If they don't match you can extract said pins and re-arrange them on the part side to ensure proper layout.

Or you could purchase one of these generic sets you are seeing on Amazon and verify they are within spec as well. Pretty much any cheap multimeter would work for this,you won't need any super precise or expensive meter to check 3.3v, 5v, 12v, and ground.

Interesting. Feels like something I wouldn't risk on a PSU as I'm not really electric-savvy, and don't want to blow any components.

Heard bad things on generic cables. Are they generally ok if the are 'compatible'?

I'm honestly not super duper electronically savvy either, but have learned enough of the basics to get me by and isn't super hard. Wouldn't really risk anything blowing as long as you ensure you set the multimeter to voltage mode. I wouldn't risk buying any generic cables without multimeter testing them with the PSU to ensure the voltage readout is correct per pin as I wouldn't want any surprises. Corsair is known to reuse model numbers, and if they change the pinout due to different PSU manufacturers or major revision updates could lead to a smokey poof and dead hardware =P.

Might be worth looking into just to learn and it's a spare PSU (would be nice to upgrade the HX520 to this for kids right - crazy how good that HX520 is).

Hey I had an older Corsair hx520 semimodular psu that was missing some cables but was to some from a Hard member. Thanks Bird222 Hopefully someone here in the freebie section can help u out.

this is actually a very long shot request since old Lian LI parts have become collectables and sell for collector's prices... I am only posting this since it seems to have been a while and has anyone fulfilled this request for you yet? I wonder if there are 3d printable versions of this.

I'm still rocking an HX520 in an old build. That series was a tank

I was able to purchase 3 from another [H] user! They should definitely be 3D printable in the future, with the exception of the mounting screws which have an odd shoulder length and screw head diameter.

anyone have a PCI-e wifi card that can do 5G?
Click to expand...
If you mean 5Ghz, I think I still have some Broadcom cards I pulled out of some SurfBoard SBG6580's. Getting drivers may be a trick, but I did get one to work under Windows in an old laptop years ago. The SBG6580 came with two Wi-Fi cards, one that did 2.4Ghz and one that did 5Ghz. I can't fully recall but it seems like the 5Ghz card could only do 5Ghz, not both. I may be remembering wrong as it has been a few years since I did anything with them, and all my computers now have only the m.2 interface for Wi-Fi. If that's what you need, I'll look this evening for them and can send them out to you.
 
Anyone need a Wireless-N router? Nothing fancy, but it worked when I last tested it. I'll make sure it still does, and do a factory reset before shipping it out.
edit: Has been tested, reset, and upgraded to latest firmware.

Will be available until our next trip to Goodwill, after which I'll try to remember to update this post.

Anyone have the intel mounting hardware for a Corsair Nautilus 360 RS?

I have everything except the standoffs and would prefer not to buy the whole kit from Corsair.

I tried to match it at the hardware store and they don’t seem to be standard thread pitch.

The kit looks like this:

The device shown in your image is a Vivi wireless receiver (specifically model VWP-205-16).
Vivi is a platform designed specifically for the education sector to enable wireless screen sharing, digital signage, and campus-wide communication.

Primary Uses & Features​

  • Wireless Screen Mirroring: It allows teachers and students to wirelessly stream content from their laptops, tablets, or smartphones to a classroom display (like a TV, projector, or interactive whiteboard). This enables teachers to move freely around the classroom rather than being tethered to the front of the room.
  • Digital Signage: When not being used for active instruction, the device can turn connected screens into digital signage to display school announcements, bell schedules, lunch menus, or other information.
  • Emergency Alerts: It functions as part of a school-wide safety system, allowing administrators to broadcast critical emergency alerts directly to connected screens across the campus.
  • Collaborative Tools: The platform includes features such as student feedback polls, real-time screen annotation, and the ability for multiple users to share their screens simultaneously.

How It Works​

  • Hardware: The device is typically mounted behind a display and connects to it via HDMI. It is often powered via the network cable (PoE - Power over Ethernet) or an external power adapter.
  • Software: Users access the system through a client application installed on their own devices. The entire network of devices is managed centrally by school IT administrators through a cloud-based portal.
Because it is a specialized piece of hardware for schools, it requires an active subscription and network configuration to function.
 
Samsung 128gb msata ssd, $10 shipped each (have 3), all for $20 shipped, can include screws.

kyang357 If you do end up re-Ewasteing these I will gladly take the antennas (yes I know they are SMA and not RP-SMA I have a BT Receiver that needs a new antenna and that is what it needs)

A lot of times people can hack these for other purposes. The guys on the STH forum figured out how to use a dolby voice conferencing module and turn it into all sorts of other things. I'd also check ebay to see if anyone is selling these and just get in touch with them about taking them since 'free inventory'.
