    SOLD: RTX 3050, Ryzen 3600 mobo + RAM combo

    I have the following up for grabs: - Zotac GeForce RTX 3050: 8GB of moderately performant fury. Lightly used for around a month - the warranty has not been registered yet, and that paperwork will be included with the card. Features a nice quiet cooler, two fans, and better raytracing than an RX...

    SOLD: Radeon Pro W5500

    The Radeon yearns to be used, especially since it was replaced with an RTX 3050. Bumparoo.

    Weekend bump! This Radeon is mighty solid. Make an offer.

    SOLD: Radeon Pro W5500

    In darkness, something stirs. A good-natured elderly black cat wakes from sleeping on the couch, bumbles into the living room, and sulks as it realizes the top of an old desktop computer is occupied by the box containing a Radeon Pro W5500. “Oh, if only I could sleep up THERE,” she would say, if...

    NVIDIA Readying 10GB, 12GB, and 16GB Variants of RTX 4070

    What good does it do to offer a SKU that's so splintered? I'm sure someone can explain the business rationale, but God, somebody needs to dethrone Nvidia.

    SOLD: Radeon Pro W5500

    Bump - it’s sleek, it’s cute, it’s certified for professional workloads, and it’s good for 1080p.

    [Rumor] Intel Arc A770 Early October Launch

    Looks like Amazon goofed, which is... common, I believe is the word. The more interesting question is why Amazon's reliably $70-$100 more for most graphics cards than other retailers.

    Bump, like the skin of an old toad

    SOLD: Radeon Pro W5500

    Edit: After being listed for nearly two months the card has been SOLD. Thanks for looking. I have a Radeon Pro W5500 I would like to sell, as I’ve upgraded the machine it was in and am looking to simplify my tech possessions. This is a single slot, workstation-oriented variant of the Radeon RX...

    GPU prices — is the worst behind us ?

    The short answer is yes. Nvidia's salad days for revenue have already begun to fall after crypto's collapse, and they're trying to maintain their revenue numbers by refusing to lower prices. AMD's targeted the server market effectively and makes more money doing so. As a result, the amount of...

    PMed you. Let me know your asking price.

    WTB: Thermaltake Tsunami Dream drive rails

    I have the black version. Whoever owned this before me also lost the cover to the top hatch, but I can 3D print something to cover that space outright - I ended up tossing the USB/FireWire/speaker/mic module because it protruded down far enough to keep me from installing a power supply easily...

    Don't tear your hair out looking for them, I appreciate you scrambling up there. Should you happen upon them, let me know!

    WTB: Thermaltake Tsunami Dream drive rails

    I posted before coffee this morning and didn’t make it clear - I’m looking for the 5.25” drive rails. Went ahead and edited the post to reflect that - sorry for the confusion!

    WTB: Thermaltake Tsunami Dream drive rails

    Yep, Fritzz is correct. Those are the pieces I’m hunting for. And kirbyrj is probably right, but if someone here has a 1:1 match that could save some headaches. The PCI latch system is unfriendly to modern video cards whose heatsink apparatus projects above the PCI bracket’s height (the plastic...

    WTB: Thermaltake Tsunami Dream drive rails

    This is a long shot going around twenty years back, but I managed to find a dirty Thermaltake Tsunami Dream case up my street last week. After a very thorough cleaning it's in fine shape and now home to a Ryzen 3600 build. Problem is, it has two empty 5.25" bays. Does anyone have some drive...

    Aureal Vortex 2 SQ2500 Quad PCI Sound Card Sealed NOS

    I believe Microsoft actually wrote basic drivers for Aureal cards that worked with Vista or Windows 7. They were unaccelerated, but from what I remember they worked OK. Valnar knocked it out of the park, but there were a number of things that contributed to the irrelevance of sound card DSPs: -...

    SOLD: BNIB Ryzen 5 5500 AM4 CPU

    Free bump, because that Rocket Lake combo price is crazy. Seriously, if you need AVX-512, that’s the best, cheapest option I’ve ever seen.

    Would throwing an RTX 3050 into an FX-6300 machine make any sense at all?

    eBay isn’t running low on 2060s. There are a few deals on RTX 3050s that look like pulls from new prebuilt machines that are running below market price, but I’m a little staggered by the high retail prices considering how badly they lag the RX 6600s in everything but pure ray tracing and...

    Would throwing an RTX 3050 into an FX-6300 machine make any sense at all?

    The added benefit of a computer is that its many times easier to pull a video card than an engine for reuse down the road. So to speak. I’ve got an Arc A750 in my main machine and don’t play a lot of AAA games, but like the option of dipping my toe into them. If I decide to toss the FX in favor...

    Would throwing an RTX 3050 into an FX-6300 machine make any sense at all?

    To my slight befuddlement I’m getting an FX-6300 machine back which was loaned to a family member years ago. This was an old Asus Essentio desktop I remember throwing a decent 450W power supply into - it’s built around an M5A97 motherboard with UEFI, and at least at a surface level it seemed...

    Bye bye Linux on the 486 . We will miss you?

    LXDE probably would, though I’d be surprised if it felt spry. There’s a blurb on the project About page detailing system requirements and they recommend a Pentium II for a speedy experience. Between the kernel, X11, and the desktop environment, I’d guess around 64MB would be necessary. A kitted...

    Bye bye Linux on the 486 . We will miss you?

    Correct - the RAD750 is a low-clocked, radiation-hardened variant of the CPU Apple called the G3. The James Webb telescope's Integrated Science Instrument Module is running one at 118 MHz with 44MB RAM, running VxWorks. I've got mixed feelings on the 486 being nixed. It was probably inevitable...

    Bump - GTX 970 is gone, and have changed my offer of sale to a trade on the Ryzen SFF machine.

    Bump - price for the SFF machine lowered to $275 shipped.

    9.5” / 241.3mm long. It requires two 6-pin PCIe connectors.
