Check what I found on the street! - Plus help with parts???
Hey team, well I was walking to work yesterday came across this puppy that someone had left out with their garbabe:
![]() So my scavenging cheap-skate instinct took over and I hid it in a bush then picked it up on the way home. Well there's nothing too special inside, its an Asus A7M266 mobo with a Athlon 1200 with a fancy looking thermaltake super orb cooler. And it powers up OK, i think it's a goer. ![]() I want to get the old shitter going just gor shits and giggles. One problem: no graphics card, no hard drive, no ram, no mouse Normally i'd be able to raid my parts stash for all that stuff but it's about 12,000 miles away (in New Zealand). Now I know there are a few guys here from London, if anyone has some old worthless parts they want to offload for (next to) nothing i'd be happy to oblige so get in touch. or in rest of UK i guess thats ok too! Need: -Any AGP card -PC2100 DDR -any old hard drive should work -a mouse (maybe could nick one from work!) CHeers guys. -Cuzz out.

I have an AGP card, but I'm in US... if you want to pay shipping on it I'll sell it to you for $5 (enough money to get gas and get me to the post office)

Well, I'd offer an old tnt2 or something (can't even remember), but I threw it in my gf's temp rig 'til I get a job and build myself a new one.

Ah, damn, I have a parts cache sitting about,but I didn't see this early enough. I defo have some DDR RAM laying about, if I remember rightly, it's PC2100, and it's a 128MB stick. Nothing spectacular, but if you've got nothing else, it should do. If I can find it, I'll check if it works, and you can just have the thing. I have some older hard drives lying about too, but they're probably pretty close to death, and are tiny.
Funny thing is, the card you bought is almost the same as the one I have lying about :P |

So what's the list down to now, as far as what's left to get/find?
