[ssjwizard]

ok so a buddy of mine found a closet full of old compter parts he had at his parrents place for storage. and i have managed to strike a deal from with him for

1 20gb hdd
1 40gb hdd
1 radeon 7000 series
2 sticks of 512mb pc 2100 ddr
1 400w psu
a couple of 48x cd rom drives
1 misc agp video card
1 athlon xp 2100 + with volcano 7 hsf
and a few other here and theres cables ect ect

for 1 ps2 game i dont play anymore and 50 bux
he should be delivering it any day now.

combind with some parts i had sitting around this cuts my newegg shopping list quite a bit shorter. looks like ill have my HTPC and file server / network gateway up and running alot sooner than expected and an extreme savings.

Nice

I have some random computer stuff kicking about in the cupboard but I don't really have enough to build another rig

Nice score. This Thanksgiving my uncle was tossing out an Abit KV7 Socket A board. He asked if I wanted it for parts, so I said sure. He had said that previously he ran into stability issues after a chipset fan had failed. Well I got it home and booted it up with my 1700 test chip and it's been doing Prime 95 for over 24 hrs now without issue. I think it'll do just fine. Now to figure out what to do with the other machines.

I wish i could still find socket A in decent selection... I have the mobo's (w/ video), drives, and PSU's -- But processors and memory seem to be in short supply.

actualy i found some socket A chips a prety decent selection(3 or 4 diffrent models) at directron the other night. might be worth looking at.

Slather on some AS5, sprinkle in a few fans and simmer at 40C for 6 months on low WUs.

Nice score of what has already become "classic toys".
