Ok, thanks. I searched the forum rules for 'sale' and 'sell' and found nothing. But, that's why I asked first - thanks for letting me know. In American English, 'trade' and 'trading' has a slightly different meaning than 'sell' - generally refers to swapping merchandise rather than exchanging it …

It's the proverbial dumpster for the most part and MANY of us go with that definition in this thread. Just look at previous posts. Either way, incredible systems saved by wiretap. I'm jelly, but I have no room for those racks anyway. Glad he saved them. My question to you wiretap is did you grab all …

Playing one of my favorite late 90s fantasy games Magic & Mayhem from Mythos Games. Never came close to finishing it back in the day and it's a casual pick-up-and-play style game. Installed the v1.1 patch and it still runs great on Windows 7 64 (I don't use any OS newer than that). If you have never …

Yeah, look at OS X for example. Apple has been selling the same OS (with minor tweaks) for the past 20 years and no one has any complaints about it. This is a joke? You must have missed the entire Mojave/NVidia debacle that's been going on. I had to finally walk away like so many content creators …

I removed it, because glue was old. There was an 486 without SX/DX markings from 1989 :) I'll keep the heatsink, but i want to test the CPU first and i can't do that with heatsink because it could short something on the motherboard. Yeah, keep that heatsink intact. Someone who collects ALR gear …
