The [H]ardForum Perpetual Freebies Thread

I need a 3.5" IDE hard drive. Bigger than 2 gigabytes but 10GB-20GB would be nice.
Shipping to Canada.

Thanks.
 
I'm building my brother a system, and I'm looking for some PC2700 RAM. 1gb or greater would be appreciated, if possible. I've contributed RAM in this thread before, and I have other little goodies if anyone wants to trade. I've got all kinds of cables, a wrt54g with custom firmware, etc

Now you need to ask yourself this question:

Would you give any of those things away for free?

If the answer is no, then you should not ask for them. However, if the answer is yes, then feel free to request and I apologize for bringing it up.
 
Looking for the 939/AM2 clip/bracket for a Zalman CNPS7000.
Clip slides through the cooler and clips onto the nubs of the stock CPU bracket.

Hopefully someone has this cooler on a 775 and doesn't need the AMD mounting?
 
I am in need of an I/O shield for a Gigabyte GA-7N400 Pro motherboard. NE1 happen to have one in their stash?

To give:
1) A used beige Antec Performance case, no PSU, no optical drive rail, no fan, but with a floppy drive if you need one, with HDD and case fan cages. Pretty solid case, good for a server. PM me your email if you need pictures. - gone
2) A baby AT computer, P166, 16MB EDO RAM, PCI video, ISA LAN/MODEM, very retro. - trashed
3) A Dell Dimension 4550 case, no PS, no mobo, no drives, but the buttons/cables are there. I can also throw in a CDROM if needed, can also include some drive rails. PM me your email if you need pictures.
4) A Dell GX 260 case, no PS, no mobo, no drives, but the buttons/cables are there. I can also throw in a CDROM/floppy if needed, can also include some drive rails. PM me your email if you need pictures.

I think I can help you there.
I'm pretty sure I have an OEM (i.e Compaq or HP or Dell) SK462 motherboard.

What CPU are you planning to use? Do you care if it's SDRAM or DDR? ATX or m-ATX?
PM with answers and I'll check my bins for a match.

:)
 
List updated. Please scroll down for most recent list.

Anyone have one of those old beige full tower ATX cases laying around? I'm itching to do some modding.
 
My DVD burner is showing it's age. It's the only component that I haven't updated for a long time, and seems to only burn at around 2x without errors. Anyone got a spare DVD r/rw drive (possibly black in color)? I've contributed RAM and a wireless router in this thread. :)

I've got a tower (with no power supply), but where are you located? Shipping on something that size is bound to be pricey. Drop me a PM with your info and we'll see if we can work something out.
 
I want a stock Intel 775 heatsink. I just got an E6300 dual core Wolfdale CPU and they include a "low profile" stock heatsink. The fins are less than 1" tall. I want to replace it with an Intel heatsink that come from a 90+ Watt CPU, they were quite a bit taller, more like 2" tall fins. Basically the OEM heatsinks that came with the DC P4s and early B3 Q6600s. PM me if you have one.

I would be open to aftermarket heatsinks, but they must be very quiet and less than 70mm tall. This is a low profile HTPC case and can't accept anything tall.

I always have a large pile of extra parts, if you need any parts to trade for the HSF, LMK and I might have it.

Just so you know, the Q9x50 series quads were the same size hsf (less than 1" fins), but with a copper core.

I too just got a e6300 wolfdale, was disappointed with the puny hsf, and I got a q9650 hsf really cheap, to find out it was exactly the same, except for the small copper slug in the center. If you want one with the copper core, and taller fins, you want at least q6600/q6700 or older hsf's.

I am looking for some usable parts for some old dell laptops Models c800, cpx, and more! I am needing cdroms, memory, cooling fans, and power bricks I don't necessarily need these items free but cheap would be good!
If you have any parts for these systems pm me and I'll let you know what i'm looking for specifically.
 
Have:
Lots of RP-SMA antennae
Crossfire bridge
One more s775 heatsink

Need:
mATX AM2 Mobo, even cheap ECS something-or-other. Going into a PC I'm donating to a mentor from my old college. All my cases are SFF, but the only board I have isn't.
250W ATX PSU, but reliable. Dell/HP/Gateway leftovers are fine, as long as the connectors are standard.
512MB+ USB Flash drives- the more the merrier
Low end s775 CPU- Celeron 420/430/440 is perfect. No Pentium4/D, motherboard won't take it.

Gone:
s775 heatsink
FlexATX PSU
USB Wifi adapter
VIA Sound card
PCMCIA Wifi adapter

Probably won't ship before Friday, due to final project and exam. Summer semester had better be worth it!
