Well, as the saying goes...a fool and their money...I appreciate the offer. Sadly my Wife's Co worker decided to go by craiglist instead. and im afraid she got a pretty bad deal
Still looking for some low capacity DDR3 sticks and hard drives to get some machines up.
I'm still hoping for an AM3 motherboard to build myself a newer computer with components from a dead HP (phenom II x4).
Thanks to ThreeDee for trying with questionable oem HP mobo; but it only lasted a few days before it wouldn't boot. I am however looking to re-use the cpu, memory and hdd with a different motherboard.
Anyone have a few small SSD drives kicking around? I'm looking at consolidating 3-4 older computers into one box and need some small drives. The base unit is going to have a tray less dock on the front so I can swap OS as needed. They are just old Windows 95/98-2000 Pro machines that run one off applications so the drives can be fairly small. I can buy new 120 gig drives for peanuts but I'm only going to be using 8 gig tops! I wish there was some way to take a new drive and break it into multiple C:\ partitions with a bootloader...

What about using SD cards with adapters? I saw that mentioned in another thread recently...might be worth looking into since you could just pick up a pack of 8GB cards.
Tried it once with some fast CF cards, was painfully slow. Fine for an arcade board though.
Ah, gotcha. I thought the performance of some of today's cards might be acceptable.
How many peanuts are you talking about being able to pick up those 120GB drives for? I just checked eBay for some small drives out of curiosity, and the lowest price there for a 40GB Intel 320 is just shy of $20. Seems like there were some very early 16/32GB SSDs before the Intel X25-M came out, but I don't know if they'd even be worth using. Probably better off paying a little more for one of the faster 120's that you found.
Looking for an old AMD Socket 939 cooler, something a little beefier than the stock one. Anyone have something?
$20-$24 shipped for 120 gb through Frys.com with free shipping, they have them on sale every 2 weeks or so. Faster drive speed isn't so much an issue as the "base unit" is a older P4 2.8 HT with SATA I.
It still has a 10,000 RPM Raptor drive, a whole 34 gb. The cheapest SSD today smacks it around like a punk.[/QUO

check the site I found some smaller ones availableUnfortunately the smallest available is... 120gb.
A few of the smallest ones would have been perfect, doesn't seem to be available at the moment.

Looking for an intel 8087 math co-processor to max out an AST 286 premium board. Thanks!
Can't tell if serious or not.
If is serious, this is something to ask on vcfed.org forums, I doubt anyone here has gear more than 18-23 years old.
100% serious! I was going through my old school collection and I found this weird semi-open dip package. it turns out AST 286 premium boards shipped with a few zeniers and resistors in the place of an 8087 co processor. I had no idea I could even add one. Totally awesome. Was curious if someone had any spare in their secret stash
I'd also advise against using SSDs on old operating systems since they can wear them out quick, especially if the SSD doesn't have wear leveling support in hardware.
Motherboards I still have-
Abit BE6, EPOX EP 8KHA+, ASUS A7Pro , Lucky Star 6VA693A, Asus A7NBX..
I may. Do you have a pic of what you need?Would anyone have any cooler master hard drive rails by chance for cheap or free?
