Mobo Jumper thingys

[Kid Payne]

Does anyone know where I can get those little tiny jumper thingys for motherboards?

try your local computer shop for jumpers....

i have heard of people making them from tin foil, but i dont recommend that

Just goto an small computer shop and i am sure they will be happy to help you out.

Hmm...not the small shop by me. The guy wasn't so nice the first and last time I was there. There has got to be a place that sells them...

 

[JaY_III]

you say you live in the "Big Apple" and thier is only one computer shop around???? Might just have to try another one if that guy is being a jerk.

You can order them online, but the shipping will cost you more than the jumpers.

When I say I'm in the Big Apple, it doesn't mean that I live all over NYC. I have a home you know, and the small shop by where I live is not a good place. So does that clear it up a little? Anyways, thanks for the reply...

 

[JaY_III]

sorry, just thought you would have a few....
I live in a Vancouver Suburb (ALOT SMALLER THAN NYC) and i have 5 shops(that i know of) within 5 min from my house....

No need for apologies. NYC was run over by big corporations like CUSA and BestBuy and I think for most people this is enough to quench their thirst for computers. When I check the fone book for the small guys here in the city, they rarely have a storefront. I know of one other guy by my job on 9th ave that's actually a store. Maybe I'll give him a try. Again thanks for bringing this to light. It'd be kinda ridiculous to pay $.50 for a few jumpers and $6 shipping

how many u need? If just a few PM me your address and I will spare the stamp and send them to you.

 

[Kid Payne]

turd, thanks for the offer but don't want to impose just for a few jumpers. I'll try the shop by work and see what they say

have you tried www.cyberguys.com

they have a small storage box that comes with 10 jumpers and a lot of other small screws and motherboard standoffs for $2.49

just do a search for number 115 1025

Tim, thanks! I get their catalog, but I've only ordered from them once a long time ago. will give that a try!
