Here comes a short rant!
To the Italian person who sold me this lot.
1. Its not the best idea to display PC hardware laying on a carpet on the floor.
2. Packaging memory modules and heatsinks non fixed in the same little box is an even worse idea.
3. Selling rusty stuff dirty enough to make me think the items comes straight from the dump as Used* is not a good idea if you have not tested them.
4. When selling such items its a good idea to provide good pictures so I can spot things like rust and the missing BIOS + RTC chips on the i430FX board.
5. I only bought used PC parts and NOT the very nice Black Widow sized and looking spider the package also included.
*Used - "An item that has been previously used. The item may have some signs of cosmetic wear, but is fully operational and functions as intended. This item may be a floor model or an item that has been returned to the seller after a period of use. See the seller’s listing for full details and description of any imperfections"
The sellers not at all representative picture of the items.
