The Sob Story
Up to three weeks ago, I have been using this system, http://www.widefault.com/35c2d/mermini.htm , for my work PC and as a jukebox system at home. Three weeks ago I made the mistake of loaning it to a family member, and today found out they had somehow managed to fry the motherboard. Totally dead, and lucky for me the warranty ran out two weeks ago. Since I love that system, I've decided to replace the dead board, but that means I have to clear out a bunch of other project materials to pay for the board. Luckily the CPU and other components somehow survived. Anyway, a new board will cost me about $400, so some of my stash of goodies must go.
The Goodies Will be adding more as I sort through what I can get rid of
Avalue ECM-3610 Embedded 3.5" Via C3 single board computers - I have three of these right now. One "retail" with cable kit, driver cd, and "manual". This one has a fan on the heatsink. The other two are system pulls, come only with the USB and audio board and cables, and are passively cooled with oversized aluminum heatsinks. These boards are about the size of a 3.5" hard drive, but are a complete PC in that small size including dual 10/100 ethernet. They can run off a simple 5 volt power source, very simple to build a mini-PC that only uses about 20 watts of power. Has a compact flash slot on the bottom, and will come with a 4GB Compact Flash card. 40 pin IDE connector on board. One SODIMM slot, supports AND comes with 512MB of PC133. These will run any OS a Via mini-ITX board will run, they're regular PCs in a tiny form factor. Check the link for more info, and PLEASE ask questions. Just used one of these for a quick-and-dirty firewall/router running Smoothwall, pics here, http://www.widefault.com/lbfw/lbfw.htm

"Retail" version with cable kit, manual, and 4GB 266x A-Data Compact Flash card
$110 shipped
OEM version with USB/audio board and cables and generic 4GB "266x" Flash Card, have two of these
$90 shipped each
Avalue ECM-3710 Embedded 3.5" Pentium/Celeron-M board - Comes with 1GB of DDR, Celeron-M 1.4GHz, Mini-PCI wireless card with external RP-SMA antenna and pigtail, and a 4GB Transcend Compact Flash card that's bootable. Same size as the above board, but with better performance and features. Will take any 400MHz bus Banias or Dothan core chip. Will run the 533MHz bus Dothans, but only at a 400MHz bus speed. No, I will not sell without the CPU, it's not worth enough to make me change my price. See the link below for details. This board normally sells for well over $300, without memory or CPU.

$200 shipped
Advantech PCM-5825 3.5" Embedded 300MHz AMD/National Semi Geode board - Based on the old Cyrix MediaGX CPU, so not the most powerful thing, but it only pulls around 8 watts of power. Makes a good terminal server client or basic web browser system. Pretty much all the normal features of a 10 year old PC, IDE, USB 1.1, serial, etc. This is a bare board, but the cable kit only costs about $6 on ebay. I'll make sure the buyer gets the auction link if they need it. Board comes with 512MB of ram and a 4GB generic "266x" Compact Flash card. I've had these boards running every Windows from 95 to XP, but the audio setup is tricky to get working in Win2K and XP. It will also run Linux, although some distros have issues with it's hybrid 486/Pentium architecture. See the links for more info. Just used one of these to build a custom terminal client as well.

IEI/ICP Wafer 5825 3.5" Embedded 300MHz AMD/National Semi Geode board - Another manufacturers Geode board. This one comes with a PCMCIA slot and a different layout, but only 256MB of ram and no compact flash slot. This is a retail box version, with cables as well as the hard-to-find power cable.

AOpen i855GMEm-LFS mATX Pentium-M and Celeron-M motherboard - board only, no heatsink or bracket, but has standard P4 socket 478 mounting holes. Wll take any 400MHz bus Pentium-M or Celeron-M AND unofficially works with 533MHz bus Pentium-M Dothan chips. Good for a basic low-power system.

Custom Radiation Meter USB 2.0 250GB Hard Drives
will start with a couple links for some previous ones I've built.
http://www.widefault.com/other/rad.htm
http://www.widefault.com/other/usbmeter.htm
http://www.widefault.com/other/worklog.htm
These are #4 and #5 that I've built for non-family and friends, not sure how many more I'll be building. These were built using genuine surplus Landers, Frary & Clark CDV-715(Model A) Radiation Detection Meters. Originally, those would have been used after a nuclear attack to monitor fallout levels. No where near as sensitive as a real geiger counter, if these could read any radiation you were probably in big trouble. These were all non-working with some electrical fault, I won't use a good one for a hard drive case.
Inside the case is a USB2.0 to IDE bridge board that supports up to 400GB drives. They MAY support 500GB, but it's not supported or guaranteed to work. There's also a full size 800mm fan for cooling. Fans are modded to run off 7 volts and are very quiet. Also has headers for activity and power indicators. These have been hooked to the guage on the meter. The needle shows activity, an LED in the guage shows power.
Hard drives are 250GB Seagate 7200.7s, retail drives with minor usage and quite a bit of warranty left. Pretty quiet, too.
Each drive will come with a power adapter and USB cable as well as a driver CD if the buyer wants one. These are not needed, the drives are compatible with just about anything that has a USB port.
Hard drives are covered by their own warranty, so I will guarantee the rest for one year. Void if drive is replaced, while it's possible to be changed it could result in damage to the cables if not done carefully. Of course, I've had one of these running for almost three years now with no problems even after about 7 drive changes.
Two available, asking $100(shipping included) each
ADS SimpleTouch USB2.0 3.5" hard drive case - Built-in autobackup with the included software. New in box.

Vintage 50's Military Geiger Counter - Non-working, will need some help. Appears to be complete. Large and Green. Heavy, too. Was going to use it for a mod, but it's going to be too much work. Pics available.

20GB 2.5" laptop drive based mp3 player. "Songbank", not the latest or greatest but it works. Easily upgradeable to a larger drive, although 40GB may be the max. Comes with Songbank, carry case, power adapter, USB cable, manual, and driver/software CD. Doesn't come with the original ear buds, because they've been used and that's just gross to pass on to another person.
