You see, I said to myself that I would go back and start reading this thread from the very beginning in my spare time. I'd run along through the thread and eventually catch up.
Five months later, I'm over halfway through! Kind of forgot to keep up with the current thread, though. Had a couple of recent hauls to go through, last time was a *mint* HP Phenom II, inside and out (apart from a removed label on the front which cleaned up nicely) and a not all that retro but nice i5 laptop, and another of the ubiquitous IP35 Pro motherboards (I have 3 and I sold one earlier). I also got hold of another Socket 423 Gateway P4 in working condition, this one a 1.3 GHz. Case is missing a piece though.
This time, apart from 4 dell I5s (sheesh), I got an apparently unused Seasonic PSU, a Dell Optiplex Pentium III 733, and an Asus P3V4X with a PIII 750, in a decent late 90s tower, but missing the side panel ( 🙁 ). It's about time I started 3D printing adapters for old case front panels on more recent "trash" cases, I now have two nice ones that don't have complete cases (and a nice desktop case with a terribly boring front panel I might trade to someone later). "Cases missing parts" seems to be a theme now.
Also included a few video cards including a Rage 128 and an AGP 7300 GT (I think that's my newest AGP card, 2006). Mainly SODIMMs for RAM, I am now desperately short on DDR3 (I have about 8 empty systems - most of which I will likely sell when I have enough RAM).
I still haven't done that video on the Great I-Almost-Missed-It Winter Liqmatrix Haul, but I did check out everything and move it to new containers. It's been kind of a rough, on-and-off winter and spring, health wise, but powering through it.
I'll get some more pics of other stuff soon. I also have some soldering to do, and I'm expecting a new set of shelves soon for a Big Reorganization to clear a space for my 3D printing workbench, thus clearing up the Wall O Shelves where most of my parts live, which is now blocked by the workbench. After that reorganization I will finally do my own mini-giveaway, I keep telling myself. Unless I get starting a build of a pi 1541 like PTherapist posted! I was looking at Ultimate II carts with no intention of buying recently. And I need to get/build a PC adapter for my 1571. So many plans, so little gets done on a daily basis! 😀
The sad thing is, I got rid of a LOT of stuff last year. I'm just a hoarder, I guess.
