1998-2005 era hardware parts for sale
« on: Sun, 13 January 2013, 09:04:43 »
The wife is carping about the computer graveyard in the garage.

I know that some of you have a continuing interest in obsolescent computer gear.

For a small price plus shipping, I have at least 3 motherboards with processors (mostly AMD, and at least one loose Intel 486 CPU), a couple of cards (video and audio) and several sticks of memory (DDR and DDR2 at least 2GB total of each). I also have 3 or 4 CDR and CD/DVD-ROM drives, all IDE. I could toss in a couple of small hard drives, 10GB-20GB.

I cannot guarantee that everything will still be perfect, but these were all pulled from working environments at the time when I upgraded. There should be enough to build at least a couple of basic but solid XP/Linux boxes. I can also include a valid legal retail XP disc and book.

Unfortunately, all this stuff in a big box will likely cost at least $25 to ship domestic, and something completely prohibitive to go international.

Not to start a formal auction, but I will entertain offers for the next few days. Assume $25 shipping, and we can adjust to actual postage via Paypal if that number is significantly off.

Not to be a debbie downer, but it probally isn't a good idea to sell old HDD's... you never know what kind of info is lurking on there... and there isn't ever a way to properly delete things from it... and as they are so small best of maybe just destorying them??

I doubt that these have anything on them, and I have partitioned and formatted them anyway (probably to ext4).

But you are right, I have bought used hard drives that had lots of info, but I just looked for interesting music then re-purposed them!

If they are not wanted, I will open them up to get the magnets. I just wish there was a way to pull them out without flaking up the nice plating.

Bump.

This a good project base, etc.

Otherwise, I will donate to Goodwill.
