I'm looking for a s775 motherboard - preferably something capable of a bit of overclocking. I don't need anything fancy - a single video card slot and DDR2 is fine, though four memory slots would be strongly preferred.
I need a new motherboard, RAM, and PSU. I have an e2180 I'd like to overclock to only 2.4ghz or so (not exactly record-breaking), but I don't want garbage either.
I recently started playing around with a Roland plotter/cutter, some vinyl sticker material, and a sandblaster. By covering parts of the glass with the sticker, and sandblasting, I can get some nifty etching without the nasty acids.
Of course, you could just use duct tape and a knife instead of...
The Mac Pro 8-way seems to be a pretty darn good idea. Because Apple has complete control over both the OS and hardware, OSX will likely have far greater ability to take advantage of all 8 cores than PC hardware and Vista would. (It can't be any harder than that AltiVec mess.)
While not...
I'm looking to build a few amplifier enclosures, a lot like these:
http://vikash.info/audio/chipamp-lm3886/
I have copper bar stock, and I'm looking to get the heatsinks. However, I'm still trying to figure out how I'm supposed to tap those tiny little holes into the ends of the aluminum...
I'm a "DIY audio" enthusiast, and while I'm actually not bad at metalworking, it seems stupid to spend three hours on an amplifier and four hours on the box for it.
An example of something that might work is here:

That said, just about...
I'm the proud owner of an IBM Thinkpad X40.
To put it bluntly, the exact same functionality (and linux compatibility - go via!) could be produced with one CPU (ULV Via C7) and a single-IC chipset. As a result, it would be much cheaper (far less parts - and they're cheaper, too!) and use less...
The Mozart TX is, at first glance, a white elephant. It's as big as a refridgerator, even more obsequious, and costs nearly $200 - a hefty sum even for a top-model Antec or Lian-Li.
Of course, phase-change enthusiasts will love it - the fact that it's similar in size and shape to a...
Yes, this is not technically for computer cases...but what the heck.
I'm looking to build a pair of speakers out of MDF and a layer of thin aluminum or copper sheet. (It's cheaper than veneer, and if you spill coffee on it, it comes right off.)
However, I have the woodworking skills of a...
I have a Sherwood 6105 reciever. It's never been pushed past 20 watts per channel, is in nearly immaculate condition, and even has the dorky "Dolby Surround" sticker on it - I never bothered to take it off.
Features:
500 watts (100 watts per channel x 5)
Digital audio input (just plug in...
I'm looking to build myself a new pair of speakers, and need parts. I'd prefer name-brand parts (Vifa, Peerless, Dayton, Hi-Vi, Tang-Band, et cetera) but will take what I can get.
I'm looking to build my next PC into a non-PC case. I've currently got a PowerMac G4 case I might be able to use (I'd replace the G4 applique on the side with C2D), but I'm very tempted to go with a SGI O2 due to the small size, cool design, and relative ease of installation. (It also looks to...
I'd like a good-quality temperature-regulated soldering iron. An off-brand iron is fine, but I need something that won't smoke SMD components.
PM or E-mail with offers.
I'm getting into DIY audio, and need parts. Lots of parts.
I'm looking for home subwoofer parts (especially plate amps), speaker drivers, and more.
I'm especially interested in Monsoon computer/home theater speakers (the flat ones), and Radio Shack fullrange drivers.
PM me with offers -...
This is my most recent Art Metal project. I've also been working on my own LM3875 amplifier boards that should fit inside just fine, with plenty of room for a volume potentiometer. (the PSU would be outboard.)
The sides are Socket 370 heatsinks leftover from dead PC's, the lexan was a piece...
Linux and Windows both have their good points. Linux is much more of a hassle to set up, while Windows will accumulate much more "crudware" over time, and has many more virii to deal with.
However, I can definitely say I'm switching to Linux.
Why?
Vista is not going to run very well on...
I'm looking to upgrade my home stereo speakers. (The headaches just aren't worth it, and I can rationalize it with the amount I'll save on Motrin.) I'm looking especially for planar or electrostatic speakers, broken or working, or parts therof. However, I can use all sorts of speaker parts...
I'm woring on some custom enclosures for homemade amplifiers, and I was wondering if anyone knew an easy way of fusing acrylic to both itself and/or copper without simply using a bunch of epoxy.
Via's C7 processor line is, at first glanc, not exactly awe-inspring. Performance is equivalent to a similarly-clocked Dothan, and with CPU speeds currently topping out at 1.7ghz (as far as I know), the Core Two appears to paste it.
Until, of course, you notice two key features:
1. The low...
I'm looking for some odd stuff.
First, I'm hoping to get a camcorder eyepiece modified for use with a VGA or other common video input, or a head-mounted display (even better). Cheap is definitely good for this; I can use anything from an old SNES "VR headset" to a surplus F-15 helmet...
I'm interested in inexpensive Socket 478 motherboards, at least four of them.
Also, I'd really like an old IBM Workpad Z50, as they
Heatware is under Cheesehead. I'll pay first (I have a PayPal account now) if you have 20+ positive heat.
Heatware is under Cheesehead. I'll ship first if you've got 50+ positive heat.
NO SALES WILL BE MADE FOR AT LEAST TWO DAYS. I still need to set up a PayPal account. (PMOs are accepted, although I do not trust my post office.)
Shipping is NOT included in the price of these items.

Note: I strongly prefer to use postal money orders. Feel free to wait until you recieve payment. Expect possible long-ass delays, as I'm financially in a messed-up situation; however, this way you get payment before shipping.
I'm looking for some super-small R/C gear, as none of my previous...
Payment Policy:
If you've got 20+ good heat, I'll send money first. I prefer PMO, but I have access to CC paypal. No "half first, half later". I strongly prefer if you wait until you recieve the money before shipping.
If anyone has one, I'd like to buy one of Silverlit's X-twin R/C planes...
I need the headphones and external optical drive ASAP. So please bump!
I need a pair of really good headphones, preferably Grados. I'm able to re-solder connectors if necessary. I also DESPERATELY need an external optical drive for my laptop, which lacks an internal one; I'll even take a...
Well, my ibook pooked out a while ago, and I never got around to parting it out...until now. There's also a few other things which I would like to get rid of. So, here's what I got:
Hardware:
12.1" ibook LCD, good but for one dead pixel. If 5+ have died, I'm happy to take it back.

Hello, y'alls!
I am getting a new A64 system this October (I have been planning getting one for about 8 months now), but am too cheap to buy an expensive case. I'm no stranger to a Dremel, and was wondering if you had any ideas. I'm interested in a small ATX case with a handle, as I figure I...
