They are put for sale on the local OLX site. The price is low. Around 30 EUR including shipping. I have a guy that said that he wants 10 pieces but I haven't got the order yet so I am not holding my breath. :) They are too many for me too but I wanted them all. I paid a fair amount for them. We'll …

😀 Awesome! 😀 My wallet though is "bleeding". 😁 I'm going to persevere until it's gushing out money though. 😁 This kind of loot doesn't come too often here and when it does I am ready! 😀

Go figure! 😀 Redundant ICs aren't good for the bottom line. 😁 Joke aside, I am happy that your board works. @quicknick - thanks for the schematics. 😀

A few items from a local trash trader... I don't even mention price I paid... but lets say it was comparable to a good business lunch. Both machines in nice Enlight cases (the more recent case is missing the USB ports cover, but I will make one on a 3D printer). Dual socket Abit BP6 needs recap but …

The missing regulator is a Fairchild Semiconductor NDP603AL N-Channel Logic Level Enhancement Mode Field Effect Transistor 25A, 30V. RDS(ON) = 0.022Ω @ VGS=10V https://pdf1.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/view/54146/FAIRCHILD/NDP603AL.html It was a PITA to read the specs as the big capacitor was in …

A delve into the world of cosmetic surgery aka MSI MS-6191 As we all know, flea market stuff is bound to have a few problems that can range from just a few scuffs and scratches to total carnage.

That dust is almost an artform. 😁 Think of how much time it took to become so perfect! 😁 I had to deal with mold but only on small areas. I absolutely hate the smell. I wore a mask for protection. 😁

Preview of stuff to come! :D The amount of stuff that I got since January is ludicrous to say the least. I do not mind this though! I have still a huge amount of enthusiasm to make THEM ALL GREAT AGAIN! :D https://i.postimg.cc/WqvshLsQ/PRW-2022-001.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/FkVNSWR1/PRW-2022-002.jpg …
