Do you have any boards - don't care about the age of the processor with 4-6 PCI-E slots. (can be 1x, 4x, 8x, 16x - doesn't matter)
I'd buy a board and CPU combo from you above paying shipping. CPU speed and capability does not matter.

No i was asking if anyone had any older boards laying around that were 1155 or higher and possibly CPUs for them

I have some 775 boards and a 939 board with CPU though
 
Anyone have an old ISA sound card? Also, does anyone have an old 128mb-256mb AGP graphics card?

And to add to this, 3n1 used to make a special 'fan oil' that's intended for fans. I used some on an external usb case's fans until they completely wore out.

Another thing you can do is open it up and find the fan at digikey, mouser or any other component distributor. Plus you can get the panaflow hydrodynamic bearing fans and upgrade it for the rest of its life. (y)

I use thin grease to pack that back area since oils will leech away quickly. I have had fans last years after (including ones that use to full on groan)
[/QUOTE]What's the specific grease you've used? I'll definitely use that from now on. (y)

Honestly I dont know what it is but its very close to the consistency of that blue "VCR grease" If anyone knows a post Radio shack version of this I would very much like to know. "Radioshack Multipurpose lube gel" Cat# 64-2326. Due to how well it works, I exclusively use it for fans.

Edit; I am well aware of allot of the results when googling the name of product. ;)

Ah, the great unifier. A fellow man of culture, I see.

He's covered!

PS: About that fan the fan is dead even after taking it to pieces the tiny motor had burned windings they were black/burnt not copper like they should have been and being a vintage fan and appliance collector I know what a fan motor should look like anyway I got another one on the way!
 
Anyone have any ROG sticker pages, metal badges, coloring books, trading cards, etc?
They're uh, for a friend...
Message me if you've got 'em and don't want 'em.

Kind of obscure item these days but does anyone have an old ABC switch for coax 'F' connectors? All of see are CB style antenna connector ones or ones for way more then they went for when these were still a current 'trending' product LoL.
I have a radio antenna outside and 3 radios (one HD-Radio, one, RDS & one plain AM/FM but the antenna is just FM) any way a regular splitter loses signal but the ABC switches don't as it only goes to what is selected (I'm pretty sure a little signal is lost from the connections?)
My antenna is a Wineguard HD-6010
 
looking for some old pci/isa/agp cards for a retro build. Broken is fine because I will be destroying them... sorry folks. Let me know what you have, I was thinking modem, sound card, maybe gpu with blue vga connector. If you have something else interesting let me know! Would like to get 3 cards from one person to save on shipping ideally.

edit: and a 3.5" floppy drive, any color as long as it comes with the bezel.

I've got all that stuff, and yeah, some of it is broken.
I've actually got a lot of modems.
I accidentally won a cheap ebay listing a few years ago and got myself a massive lot of dial-up modems. Ugh.

Apparently Argentina was still on dial up as recent as a few years ago. I'm sure modems would still be popular for p2p links that require high security--but we have no phone lines anymore! :confused:
 
Looking for an older video card, around 10 years-ish. Brother in law has an old Q6600 system but vid card is an amd HD 4550 512mb. This card was a dumper when it came out for gaming. Obviously not looking for anything special here, just something better than what he's got. If it works, I'm interested.

FYI I live in Ontario, canada. Time to ship doesn't matter.

I'm pulling apart an old pc right now, it has a GT 240. Not much better but better nonetheless. It'll be free but I don't think the shipping to CAN is worth it.

I think you're right on the shipping. Thanks for the offer.

I think I've decided to leave the 4550 in there for now. It's just too much hassle at this point.
 
Xonar Essence STX/A.

Was working when I pulled it years ago, but it's been through several moves with less than stellar packing protection. So...no guarantees it works, but if it does you get a nice sound card for shipping costs?

Figure somebody might want it

160 GB 2.5" WD hard drive. Any takers?

IMG_5392.jpg

Also a bunch of cables/adapters/misc stuff...if anyone can use this stuff, take ANY and ALL of it.

Does anyone want a E7400 or i3-2100? Let me know and I can pull it from old pcs. If not, they are going to e-waste in a few days.
 
Anyone got a spare screw for a M.2 drive? Now that I have stimulus money to dump on one, I'd like to be able to keep it secure.
 
I've got a few CPUs up:

Xeon W3503 LGA 1366
2x Xeon L5520 LGA 1366
Pentium 4 HT 517 LGA 775
Pentium G645T LGA 1155

Looking for larger watercooling radiators, 360-480mm

I've seen that the mb package usually supplies the screw. I agree it's not much. But damn, even $5 for stupid miniature screws when you only need 1.
 
This is a long shot, but figured I'd ask:

Anyone have any old PS1, PS2, Wii, or Gamecube games, maybe even NES/SNES/Genesis games you're willing to part with?

My fat backward compatible PS3 broke so I've been on the hunt to replace it, I found a PS2, just need a PS3, but while hunting for them, I've came across several PS2 games I've never owned, and I've been having a blast playing them. I got caught up on my PS4 backlog, and I'm currently working on my PC backlog, so I figured why not build up my retro backlog to tackle next?

If not for free we can work out a price depending on what all you've got!

I am NOT looking to resell, I'm looking to build up my collection, they'll go to a good home and will eventually get played!

What about the PCs themselves?

I junked the motherboards but still have the rams, some ddr and ddr3. I also have the hdd that came with it as well, I think one is a wd blue 500gb, the other I forgot. I can get pics up in a bit.

edit: pics added. Free, you pay shipping.


claimed:
AMD phenom II x4 840 with motherboard
Corsair DDR2 ram
Crucial ddr3

I got a Asus 900HA I would like to find a free / dirt cheap 120GB+ SATA OR M.2 sata to put windows XP on. Anyone want to help let this thing live? In its previous life (who is not me) this thing has a programming degree from UC Berkley. ;) (based on school files on its mech hdd)
