Is this sale post a commentary about modern devices wanting to phone home? :)

My Heatware 236-0-0 under brinstar117 I used this combo for over a year as a pfSense firewall. It's in good working condition but there a few cosmetic issues. CPU socket has some partially bent pins missing I/O backplate no Wi-Fi antennas Combo includes: Pentium G4400 dual core Skylake CPU...

Tempting for sure! If I remember correctly the T450s model only has 1 SO-DIMM slot for DDR3L just so there are no surprises to any potential buyers. 4GB of memory is soldered on to the motherboard.

With regards to S-video, you can always try using a composite to S-video passive adapter. There is usually some small image quality loss, but if you're using a CRT television it shouldn't be too noticeable. If you're handy with soldering you can make your own adapter, just Google a schematic...

I don't think the motherboard is capable of native USB boot. I had the slower Epia 533MHz variant which I ran Windows 98, XP, and a bootable live-CD Linux distro (Knoppix I think). If it could directly USB boot I would have done so. You're probably already aware, but you can get a Compact Flash...

My brother is using an i7-2600k, 16GB, and a MSI P67A-GD65 (B3). I rescued the motherboard by removing the bad BIOS chips and soldering on some donor chips from a different dead motherboard and manually flashed the BIOS ROM files on to them. It was the first time I brought a motherboard back...

As mentioned before, delidding will likely solve your overheating issue. Within the last few years I have had to delid a few 4790k CPUs because the original factory thermal paste under their heatspreaders was dried out and no longer conducting heat well enough to allow the CPUs to operate at...

Good seller here. Got my stuff and it was very well packed.

Hello fellow hardware hoarders collectors! :D Does anyone have any mSATA SSDs to spare? (AKA mini-PCIe) These are the older standard. Not the current M.2 style. I'm trying to resurrect some old Atom devices. They need to be at least 16GB, but larger would be appreciated. Thanks for looking...

Am I correct in assuming each monitor is plugged into a separate Geforce GTX 570? I don't know if that makes a difference or not, but a single video card might not be able to support two monitors at 2560x1440. Otherwise, make sure your DVI cables are dual-link. Single link is limited to...

For those who may be inclined, you can install a leaked version of Windows 10 RT on to these tablets. It's a bit of an involved process. I used this guide to play around with an RT tablet earlier this year: COMPLETE TUTORIAL: HOW TO INSTALL WINDOWS 10 ON THE SURFACE RT by Alexenferman It...

klepp0906 might have one for sale in the near future as it looks like they were able to find an upgrade for their delidded 8700k

Bump for Jelly!

For those interested, I believe the case is a micro ATX InWin BK623. This is the USB 2.0 front panel ports only variant.
