Have this weird-ish motherboard. It works but really has no real overclocking options at all that seem to work. Again, taker pays shipping.

YGPM. I need a no frills FreeDOS board for testing floppy drives. Seems like this would work well for that.

Anybody want to try a prototype of my PS/2 to serial -project? It's the converter described here, in particular it would be useful to see if it works with different KVM switches.

Internal PS/2 to serial mouse adapter (NEW: improved KVM compatibility)

You pay postage. Also, while I have tested that this seems to work and doesn't break anything, I won't take responsibily for anything.

I've still got one of these, and currently known KVM issues have been resolved. Though it's still possible that other KVM switches have more quirks in store. 😀

I've got another Socket A motherboard up for grabs. It has been tested to POST.

Claimer pays shipping.

This time it is from an eMachines computer.

It is an ECS L7VMM2 v1.0a

I do not have the I/O shield for this one.

Cleaning up the dungeon and slaying the clutter dragon. Two of these. One per person. Sealed/new. Not performance champs, but they're good for testing motherboards and other such vintage hardware endeavors. Bought them for four bucks a piece at a garage sale last year. Couldn't complain at that price. If you want one, just post "claiming one" below so other people know when they're gone and then PM me with your shipping details. Free shipping, as always, to the lower 48. Other locations need not apply. Must have a minimum of 100 forum posts to claim one. May take a couple of weeks to get them out the door as I'm busy downsizing my life.

Both are gone. Someone PM'd me and forgot to post in the forum. Anyhoo... glad they got new homes.

To the two members who claimed them, make sure to PM me your shipping details. Cheers.

Used once for an archival project, so basically new. Comes with adapters and cables as pictured. Free shipping to the lower 48 only. Just post "claimed" in a post below if you want this. PM me your shipping details.

New in box/sealed Lian Li TU150 mini ITX case (brushed aluminum windowless model). Strong points of this case: pop-up carry handle, pop-off top for cable management, screwless design and very efficient front-to-back cooling chassis design for such a small space (no fans or PSU are included with the case). This model is no longer manufactured and getting harder to find. Great for portability. Retailed at ~$150 USD. Was going to use it for a mini server, but laptop life for me.

Edit: Item is now gone.

Interesting case, apparently a few people have crammed undersize mATX boards in them. The width limit appears to be 9" for a motherboard, but unsure of the depth.

No matter how much I looked at pics though, I couldn't figure out how the PSU hooks up to external power, they supply a jumper cord that runs internally?? and the PSU is set back a little from flush with case side??

Unicorn herding operations are proceeding, but all the totes of hens teeth and barrels of rocking horse poop give them plenty of hiding spots.

I made a detailed video about a black Tu150 build I put together a few years ago, but never posted it and have deleted my YT channel since. Here are some stills from it so you can see the routing. Cheers.

Aha, thanks. Surprising really, kind of workaround I would do when I've designed myself into a corner and already cut some materials, setting certain things in stone.

The cable that routes the PSU from front to back is factory installed and well done. The entire design is top notch.

I have a SilverStone ML08B-H that does the same trick to route the power supply input, because the PSU sits on its side in the case.

I have this bracket, which I got when buying a large box of hardware. It housed a 5.25" drive, which I took out. It definitely looks like an IBM PC AT-like bracket. Giving it away for the cost of shipping (from Europe/Netherlands) if anyone needs it?

Cleaning out a relative's house and found this slim ITX VIA PC. Unfortunately it seems to have bad caps and I am not great with a soldering iron. Seeing if anyone here is interested before it gets junked. HDD not included as it was requested to be destroyed by the relative.

Located in US.

Also found was a Pentium 3 based server. I am keeping the CPU, motherboard, and GPU. The case is too large and heavy to be worth shipping so its getting junked. HDDs getting destroyed per relative's wishes. The only thing left is this Promise FastTrak IDE RAID card if anyone wants it, otherwise also getting junked.
