Cleaning out office

Recommended Posts

Well I started cleaning out my office and I found some good stuff -

 

- A stack of PC World magazines from 9/97 through 11/98

 

- A DX4/100 CPU...anyone wanna buy it? hahaha

 

- An ISA 28k modem

 

- A 1GB Hard Drive I paid $200 bucks for a looong time ago

 

- A box full of old memory. A mix of the old small sticks of 1mb and 4mb and 8mb that I paid HUGE amounts of money for back in the mid 1990's.

 

- 2 Token Ring cards

 

- Dues X game

 

- 1997, 1998, 1999 copies of TurboTax

 

- Old Keyboard -> PS2 converters

 

- 2 Old keyboards with the large connectors and the super-loud click keys.

 

Wow - Why in the world did I keep all of this stuff.

sounds like a nice haul of useless crap

:D

but cool to own nonetheless...

now you need to take all of it and create a sweet case :D

 

(side note: I just found out my roommate owns a Tandy that has, get this, 8MHZ!!...it's a 286...and it still works perfectly...)

No one wants a DX4-100? hehehe. I still have an old Motherboard that will take it.

 

I tried to sell some of the older stuff on Ebay and got 9bucks for an Adaptec SCSI card and cable but none of my hard drives sold so I am pitching them I think. Anyone need a 1gb seagate?

Anyone need a 1gb seagate?

No, check my list. I have one.

 

 

The PSU's are ATX. The 350w Antec is brand new, I'm gonna use it in a box I'll be building soon. I'd send you the 300w generic but I know it had a hard life being on 24/7 for about 4 years. This is the PSU that I learned that a PSU running at 100% for a couple of weeks will run really hot. It still works, but I only have it for emergencies and troubleshooting.

 

geeze Homer...build a couple Linux Server boxes and send me one

 

I've only got one spare working mobo and that matches to the Celeron 400 and the 256mb PC133 RAM. I'd need a case, that's the only real thing stopping me, I just can't see spending $30 so I can have a rockin' Celery400. And I'll need a video card, the GF4 is already planned for. If you want the mobo/ram/celery make me an offer.

I have a fully functioning P2-300, motherboard, 1.5GB hard drive 64MB of ram if anyone wants it. Shipping and handling is all I will charge....It has an AGP slot on the board for a video card and 4 PCI slots. I just had it on yesterday testing everything, it works great.

Playaa -

 

No case since I think I will reuse the one it is in right now.

 

It does have a CD and Floppy that I will send with it, I may even have a PCI video card I can ship.

 

It does not have onboard video though. It does include onvoard sound and USB though.

Just found an old 8MB AGP card I will toss in. I have no clue what model it is but XP recognizes and installs the drivers.

 

The back of it says: AGP740A6-8M

 

I just double-checked the MB - it has 1 AGP, 2 PCI, 2 ISA

sadly, he ain't kidding.

but if no one else wants it...keep it around and I WILL pay ya for the shipping when I can and then you send it when I pay...easy as pie.

I just really would like to have a linux box sitting around to play with since I've NEVER used Linux at all...

heh, you know how much I've touched Knoppix Homer? exactly as much as you quoted...I booted it up, hooked up the network and posted then shut it down

:P

 

I just realized...I wonder if I will be able to get drivers for that video card for linux...hhmm...who knows
