Bought these today:
- Creative Labs SBS20 speakers: I got lucky on this one, the price was cheap and they're in great condition. Goes along with the rest of my creative collection. I try to buy the creative branded stuff when possible just for fun, so this is the perfect fit. I also used to have these speakers at one time, but I've had a lot of speakers over the years so that's not really saying much. Still, I'm kinda excited about this purchase specifically, these are the perfect speakers for me.
- ASUS P5A Motherboard: I recently bought an ASUS P2L97 with a Pentium 2 333mhz and 128mb of ram, which I love and just recently got running for the first time. There's only one small problem that's been in the back of my mind this whole time: technically I owned a K6-2 333mhz... So I loved the P2L97 so much, I basically bought the AMD version: the P5A. I'm actually probably just going to end up shoving it in a closet because I'm enjoying the Pentium 2 333mhz so much, but I wanted to have the AMD anyway, just to have it.
- AMD K6-2 333mhz processor
- New in box Logitech First Mouse Plus: I previously bought a used one of these and liked it so much I decided to buy this new in-box version.
Have you guys noticed the massive lots of mixed processors or memory or mother boards being sold for scrap on Ebay? I saw a couple where processors were being listed by the pound, bags of them, AMD, Intel, all going to be melted down for the miniscule amount of gold they contain. I saw a lot of motherboards by the pound, still had processors and ram and everything, being sold for the same purpose. Kinda sad and upsetting, but nothing I can do about it. I don't really need bags full of pounds of processors sitting around my place....... or do I?....
Anyway, aside from bent pins, they looked in good working order, and you can get giant bags of them for under $100. I mention it because I'm kinda vaguely hoping maybe some collectors will scoop some of them up to save them from getting melted.
