The [H]ardForum Perpetual Freebies Thread

would anyone have a decent matx size am2/3 or s775 board that they would be willing to donate to an ARS member to repropose to make a mini mame arcade machine for the kids in the neighborhood? I have an x2 5000 but of the two matx board i have, one needs 4 caps replaced and the other board, a socket 775, will not work for what he needs since it handles only single core P4's and celerons. for a 775 board, i do have a dual core chip available for a 775.

Hey everyone I'm looking for a better cpu than the 775 E2180 cpu my wife has in her computer I currently am running 4 gig of ram and a ssd but I'm hoping someone has a better 775 cpu laying around they could donate to the cause.
I'm not expecting a quad core cpu, but the board I have will cover any 775 cpu made.
We just don't have the funds for a proper upgrade right now, and could use the help if someone has the cpu.

I have a couple of E6300 processors I can send you. Heading the Myrtle Beach tomorrow so I am not able to ship them until Monday. If I can get them out tomorrow I will let you know. Just PM your address.
 
does anyone have any uncompressed eeprom based psx mem cards they are willing to off? :p

(if the memory is under a epoxy blob, its likely unreliable)
1 meg per page so if the chip is less than the amount of pages listed, its likely compressed.

thanks!

If you send me the x2 board, I'll re-cap it for you.
 
Ethernet cable from the local Target (used for an hour?) in blue color

If you want anything, PM me with your PayPal email address and please just cover enough for shipping and the PayPal fee.

Everything minus the keyboard will make a nice package in a bubble mailer. If you want the keyboard then I have to figure out how to mail it economically.

Edit 3:46 PM Monday, June 15, 2015 (MST): The Gorilla Drive is taken.
Edit 9:24 AM Tuesday, June 16, 2015 (MST): The keyboard and mouse are no longer available. Someone take the Ethernet cable, please.

Can anybody sell some SATA cables for cost of shipping? I run out of them.

EDIT: Got them along with some other stuff.

What caps do you need? Let me know capacity, voltage. I have a bunch of caps (many are Rubycon). It is easy job to replace capacitors.

Does anyone have a USB to Ethernet adapter?

It has to be one on this list. As I am trying to get an older Series 2 Tivo (Probably one of the first series 2 as it only has a port for a phone line and not an Ethernet port)

I have no preference as to which adapter as long as it is on the list below

Thanks

[strike=1]Alright, I'll check and get back to you.

I've offered these up at one point before but will do so again:

I have two (2) Cooler Master CoolDrive 6 hard drive cooler enclosures, brand new in their boxes. You mount your 3.5" HDD in them and then mount the enclosure in a 5.25" bay. I believe that mine are silver, not black. I have no use for them, but would gladly let them go for the cost of shipping. They're somewhat heavy so it's definitely going to be a few bucks, but I believe that these went for $30-$40 ea at one time.[/s]

SATA cables and Cooler Master drive cooler enclosures gone.

external, yes, portable, probably not. for external, depending if it requires sata power or molex power, something like this i would think is all you need to make it external

http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-Ports-eSATA-4-Pin-Power-PCI-Bracket-Slot-SATA-Cable-SC2-/180695788621


but obviously it doesnt make it portable

edit:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/SATA-PATA-I...565?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5d58afcc05 this should essentially make it an external, portable hard drive. however it would still have an open back.

Looks like about $20 via USPS Priority Mail, but they might fit in the large flat rate box for a few bucks less. Or I could send `em via First Class and save a few bucks that way.

I'm waiting to hear back from gnawrot regarding them, but if he doesn't want them you're welcome to them. Or if you guys just need 1 each then I'm fine with that too, and it would be cheaper for each of you.
 
I've got tons of older PC parts that I received from random PCs over the past 10 years. Most of these parts haven't been tested, so YMMV.

Certain parts, like the DVD drives, should work fine, as they were pulled from laptops with bad motherboards.

If someone wants a huge lot of the stuff, I have plenty of huge boxes & packing material. Just pay shipping on everything here.

Long shot here...

I'm looking to upgrade and old Dell Ultra Form Factor Optiplex 745 for my kids to mess with.

Upgraded the CPU from celeron to C2D and trying to trade for some more DDR2 ram

but I need/want a DVD drive for it, it's a slot loading CD drive now

Dell says it's a D-mod PATA drive
-I tried using my dvd drive from from my dell laptop but the connector doesn't line up

I downloaded the spec sheet and a dvd/rw drive is one of the options for it so I know there's one out there. It doesn't even have to be dvdrw, dvd-rom would be fine I guess


thanks!
 
Long shot here but worth asking.

Anyone have a spare wifi antenna from those motherboards that come with built in Wifi? Its like an external antenna and has 2 cables on the other end that screw onto the 2 inputs on the motherboard.

For example Asus and Gigabyte have 1. Well PM if you do and what you are asking for. I promise I will post some freebies soon to help the community if I can be helped. (or when I go through some old stuff)

Thank you in advance If I cant reply right away. Dont think ill find anything but just asking in case someone has a spare or even broken one that I could fix up. I can solder at work!

@threedee
Hmm I don't know if that would work. I need something like this
WIFIGO_Intro1.jpg


I'm on mobile sorry if link is too big or bad. I have those combo cards that have wifi/Bluetooth but my used mobo I just got doesn't have the wifi antenna item. I know not everyone has spares as its 1 per mobo. If anything, even if it's broken I'll take it and see if I can fix something up.

Anyways thanx for any feedback and help that's offered. ;)
 
@jasec...I have something that will most definitely work. Let me do some looking.

ah .. I thought you were looking for internal wires ..
 
I'm the guy buschman31 mentioned about the mame kids cabs.

Managed to get another mobo not long ago but it had a blown cap and the unit runs wonky even with the cap replaced. Can't seem to find out what the issue is.

I am looking for one or more socket 775 or AM2 era motherboards. I have an AM2 2ghz and a c2d 2.2ghz here, 160gb hard drives, 512mb and up sticks of DDR2 ram and a power supply. I can pay a little bit of money for the units if need be.

I'm at the end of the builds and i just want to get these built asap.
