Are you getting rid of them for a reason? (I dont need/want them but dont throw them out!)
I Put a 99p bid on this and was suprised to get it for that. Postage was low too..
Still sealed from 1992!
sorry i only saw your message after andy's as on next page. the soundcard was spare, the graphics card i had a problem with one game (no one lives for ever, which is a bit fussy)
Spent last night taking apart/cleaning my HD 5970 and a single HD 6970 then putting them back together. Picked up a brand new boxed Crosshair IV recently with a Phenom II X6 1100T so going to make a bit of a 2009-2010 system. Although I am admittedly running out of room now a bit…trying to justify so many different pc builds oops.

it wont let me start a convo with you ... You may not start a conversation with the following recipients: andy223uk.
@Armageus any ideas why? i just want to lob some free stuff in post
oh you only have 7 posts, there maybe something you have to set up first to enable conversations.

@andy223uk - you will need to go to account settings -> privacy -> then under "allow users to:", change "start conversations with you" to "members only"
Thanks and done
I've not messed with much retro stuff lately due to life things, but I did pick up this motherboard as its looked in interesting.
Its a Soyo SY-P4I845PEISA. A Pentium 4 Socket 478 i845 board with ISA slots. I think it was used in some industrial setting as it really was quite dirty! Should make a good High End Win98 board with the ability to have ISA sound cards for the later DOS games. It even came with a 3.06 533 P4 CPU which was a awesome bonus!

Ahhhh SOYO. I had a Dragon (gold PCB) NForce 4 board. Spiritually succeded by DFI IMO (in aesthetics alone, it was pretty unstable).

Yeah I know but I just don't have the space, or enthusiasm for something that old. Not sure I can even test it!

Pretty good haul overall then!

You will need to pre heat the board to have much luck. My cheap soldering iron doesnt get hot enough to melt the solder for the bigger caps because the rails they are on are a giant mass of copper that is absorbing the heat too.

I took a gamble on a relative cheap listing of 3 PCI TNT M64s, received them after a couple of days and all 3 are posting, with one having two different tones of colour. The seller had just listed another lot of similar cards and what it seemed to be a GF3 reference model. I bought them and received them yesterday. Again, all 3 TNT cards are posting, but I get no signal from the GF3 card. I had high hopes that the GF3 card would work...
Other purchases from ebay included a 6600 GT AGP boxed, a PCI GF4 MX 440 SE and a PCI low budget Sis card.

Spent some time this evening with my new purchase pentium 166 trying to find some SDRAM for it for a nice boost.
My smallest sticks are 128mb and its hit and miss which ones "work". Some wont boot, some show as 2mb or 8mb and the only one I have got to realistically work is showing as 32mb (when it is a 128mb stick).
Going to order a 32mb stick and hope that it works properly! Also looking for a 233mmx to fit into it.
Swapped the s3 trio64v for a virge/DX as well for a little VGA boost.
