Damn!

Woah.

I like hit the lottery I guess, I think it was 2024, or summer of 2025, but I got 32 gb team group Xtreem, 7200 cl36, crazy ram, for... $70. It was microcenter super sale or something, but I think they just couldn't sell it because it was the color pink.

Nice rhyme-

have something pending, still looking though

no, its alright, its more for collection/tinkering, I know what I am getting into ;)

I have a dell latitude e6420, the battery died, but I have an i7 2720qm and 8gb of ram, just not using it anymore. I repasted it as well. Could probably make a pretty good basic server, but I have no use for it. Also, a 128gb SSD. Comes with 65w power adapter. $70 shipped (a bit heavy) USPS...

I have an MSI Big bang! Xpower, and man, they board is beefy. I run a W3680 in it normally, since multiplier oc is convenient, and my modest OC is like 4.2-4.3 ghz in like the 1.25-1.3v range, just for sake of cooling. I do have an x5675, and an i7 950 (that clocks amazingly, 4.4 ghz at like...
