Still got the phone. I'm waiting until Friday (that would be June 3rd) and then it goes in the Thrift Shop.

Relevant post: http://hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1037301793&postcount=1651

UPDATE: Also have a 12V, 1100mAH Output Car adapter. Barrel plug on the end, don't know the size but it's big. Insides consist of an LED, a fuse, and a resistor for the LED. I'll stuff it in a USPS Flat Rate envelope for $5, or if you're not moving, I can do First Class in a bubble mailer, but I don't know off hand how much that'd save.

Anybody happen to have an extra starcraft 2 Trial code / guest pass lying around that hasn't been used? Please PM me, I would greatly appreciate it :)
 
I was told the servers are now down, but what the heck...

Didn't make it to the thrift shop... so the phone's still here. It's a Nokia 2600 if anyone cares.
 
Anyone have an old IDE laptop HD? 40gb or less, all I need is to install windows and webcam software on it...?
Also looking for:
USB extension cables (length doesn't matter, I'll take anything)
Old AT&T or even "Cingular" phone (I don't care what phone/make as long as it can make calls from an AT&T SIM and is in reasonable condition)

I have:
133mhz 512mb IBM _SERVER_ RAM (I've never gotten it to work in a standard desktop, it only works in a "server" however that is defined)

BROKEN Radeon X1300 - fan/heatsync seems to still work if anyone wants to try and remove it. (keep in mind the card is BROKEN it is NOT detected in BIOS or Windows --- not even as a "unknown device" it's like the slot is EMPTY (ATI Catalyst cant even detect it)

As always, TONS of Power/POTS cables!

I have more stuff but I can never find it all at once... >.<

PM if interested!

Never thought I'd actually say this, but I need a PCI sound card. My R3 Mod has a motherboard with no CD-Audio connection. This is problematic.

All I need is something small, with audio out and CD in. That's it. Smaller is better!

EDIT: Mod thread here: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1598798

EDIT2: got one!

Would a USB to serial work?

BTW, sometimes those don't work for certain things. What are you wanting to do?

EDIT: I'm a derp who doesn't read. YGPM in a few seconds.
 
Anyone have a 12" 4-pin P4 ATX extension cable?

I also need a few 6-pin PCIe extension cables.
 
I have some stuff that I need to get rid of.

Sprint HTC Mogul (PPC-6800) phone. Kinda beat up but works fine. Not sure where the stylus is but it def works and the ESN is clean. Comes with the belt holster and headphone adapter.

AMD Athlon 64 3400+ socket 754. Two of the pins bot slightly bent, can easily be straightened out to fit in a motherboard. Pretty sure it still works. Worked when I pulled it.

email me: [email protected] if you are interested in anything
 
SolidBladez, if you'd have sold me that flash drive, I would /make/ you a P4 cable. Not that it matters now...
 
FWIW, I am in need of some cable ties ("zip ties"), and in my situation I am unable to simply run down to Wal*Mart and get them -- I have very limited transportation at this time..

The ties must be able to fit through a 3/16" hole, and the longer the better. Color can be anything, as long as it's white/natural, blue, green, or (if all else fails) black. Keep in mind that these have to go through a 3/4" wood panel and around an ATX power supply. I only need two or three, but they have to be really long at that quantity.

It's for my R3 mod, worklog here.

Not an immediate solution but I got a device a few years ago called "the Handy Bundler" that uses a roll of "zip tie" plastic and lets you make ties anywhere from a couple inches to a couple feet. Though I have no idea where to find it anymore... eBay or Google would be best shot...

Try an electrical supply house. That's where I got them when I started as an electrician.
 
I appreciate the advice, but being about 2.5mi from the nearest town sort of limits my options, unless I want to take a really long walk in gnarly heat. Tomorrow it's supposed to be 92 and possibly rainy.

All I'm asking is for some cable ties. Heck, I'll even pay $5 shipped -- if you send 'em first class (I ain't goin' nowheres) that's about a $4.50 profit for ya.

Gotta be somebody out there has 'em to spare.

I have a variety of zip ties. Can take a look and see what I have tomorrow. What's the minimum length that would work?
 
Well, it needs to go around (perimeter) a regular size ATX PSU, and through (twice) a 3/4" board -- in two places. So...

140mm is the width of the supply, which is /roughly/ 5.5"
86mm is the height of the supply, which is /roughly/ 3.4"
The board is 0.75" thick.
Multiply by two to get total perimeter.

2(5.5+3.4+0.75) = 19.3

20" would be ideal, then, but I don't think they've made 'em that long in the history of zip ties! BTW, that equation does not account for the fact that zip ties have rounded corners, not sharp edges -- therefore adding length. You can't easily make a 90deg angle with a zip tie. It's doable, but yipe.

Alternately, six 7" or 8" ties would work (3*7 = 21, 3*8 = 24). I'd need eight 6" ties. Because of the corner issue, I'd need /ten/ 5" ties (and a good pair o' scissors fer the slack).

EDIT: just in case it got lost somewhere... gots to be 3/16" wide at the most. I can drill out the holes for 1/4" ties, but I really don't want to do that if I can avoid it.

starhawk- I have a pack of 1/8" x 8" clear zip ties. The actual working length is about 6.5". I'll let you do the math so just let me know how many you want. I have a bag of 100 so feel free to ask for a few extras :)
