Anybody want 1-4 Intel Xeon x5675 engineering sample CPUs?

They aren't the best looking but they were exactly like this when I bought them years ago and they worked fine. I just recently pulled them out of some servers I am retiring.

I've also got a ton of S478 , LGA775 as well as some newer Intel Core-i (i3 and maybe i5) of various generations available for the cost of shipping.
Let me know what you are looking for and I will see if I have it available... I will not be getting rid of any high end ones.

Clearing out the basement and will be posting a couple of items this weekend.

First up is a Thermaltake Purepower W0129RU 600W PFC Power Supply for parts. This piano black sleeved octopus, from a time long before modular PSUs, was purchased for a Soyo SY-KT600 DRAGON Ultra in a full tower AOpen HQ08 to reach all (13!)drive bays. It worked great until the Soyo got flaky, troubleshooting showed the PSU +5v rail is only putting out 4.1v... just after the warranty expired.

For someone with the skills and time this could be an easy repair. Last stop before e-waste bin next month.

Easy pickup in US NNJ/NYC or shipment on you to wherever.

Thanks all!

Here's one for the token ring fans, (there may be dozens of us?)

5 x SMC Elite MAU 4016RN (4 w/ rackmount ears)
2 x Madge Blue+ 16/4 Token Ring PnP ISA Network Cards, https://theretroweb.com/expansioncards/s/madg … ue-16-4-isa-pnp

Lovely. We have here a Cisco 2612. A Cisco degraded from router to bridge. Token Ring to Ethernet bridge.
Not for sale or giveaway ofc. But you may have the script how we bridge TCP/IP. We don't have tried to bridge IPX yet but are open for suggestions.

Anybody local (Toronto, Canada) want my PCI SB X-Fi Fatal1ty? It didn't work the last time I tried using it; I think the capacitor is bad, all the symptoms were consistent with that.

I have the original box, the drive bay module, the Vista driver CD they released later, etc. The only thing I would need to find is the remote control it came with - I thiiiink I still have it but haven't seen it in a decade.

I loved that card, but I have no soldering skills and no time, my two main retro systems have other sound cards (and the system it was in... I probably should sell, I don't need two XP machines), so really, why keep all that stuff if someone can give it a new life.

(If anyone wants it really badly but shipped, I can probably look into that, but... ehh, shipping things in Canada is expensive)

Another item I just thought of - anyone local (Toronto, Canada) want a Sapphire Radeon HD 6570? At the time I got it, I think it was the best low-profile-capable video card on the market. Probably hasn't been used in close to a decade; the machine it was in was dead when I dug it out of the closet a while ago and promptly got e-wasted. I... presume... it works, but I'm not going to take apart a system to test it, not when the eBay value of these things is negligible.

And actually, while I'm in a 'get rid of video cards' mood, what about a working XFX (I think) ATI 5770? Seems like the resale value of those is equally trivial...

Should have the boxes and all the original accessories (if any) for both too.

(I actually need to do a big purge of old computer junk, anything old that isn't used in/useful for one of my retro systems should go... anyone want some untested DDR2 RAM?)

Oh, keep it coming 🤣 is shipping to the US also crazily expensive from Canada?

I don't have that much old computer junk, sorry to disappoint... (like many people I'm sure, most of the best stuff I owned was tossed well over a decade ago... 🙁 ooops.) Mostly just random odds and ends. If anything it's the other way around, I'm now a buyer of good vintage things...

I would say all shipping here is crazy expensive. Shipping to Montreal, crazy expensive. Shipping to the U.S., crazy crazy expensive. Plus the cost of packaging, etc.

I haven't done it for 3 years, but it used to be that something that was $20 to ship inside Canada was $15 to ship to US (via USPS, not Fedex or UPS) and similar proportionally cheap for larger packages, big box game size is around the $20 mark, shoebox around the $30 plus mark. Anything across the water is double that though.

Never pay retail shipping rates. You can often save 50% or more using a service that gives access to commercial rates. Using Pirateship's simple export rates I can ship to Canada for under $10. If I went to the Post Office counter or UPS store I'd probably pay $50 or more.

A few weeks ago, I paid a stupid amount of money (CAD$10 + $2 for the very small padded mailer) to ship 2 flash drives to California; by the time I was paying for it, I didn't even want to pay the extra $6 or so for a tracking number and faster service. Was just so fed up that I didn't even care if they got there or not.

(Full story - two dead flash drives being RMAed to ADATA. I foolishly assumed that, given the cost of shipping relative to the value of the items, they wouldn't want the dead ones back. I was wrong. So I sent them anyways, somewhat out of spite, but given the value of a new 128 gig and a 32 gig flash drive these days, I don't think it makes sense to spend a lot of money getting them RMAed...)

Ironically perhaps, yes, they did actually make it there. (Now, we'll see what the customs consequences for the replacements will be... hopefully, hopefully, they don't send them UPS Standard)

So, yeah, if we're looking at close to CAD$20 to properly send two flash drives, I don't want to know what the cost to ship a video card box containing all the video card parts might be.

if somebody wants it.

make disk go faster card, well a SCSI disk interface, bit quicker than IDE is the norm, but disks are spendy.

I could maybe use it in my 386 build

i think you are in EU, no ?
shipping price may be salty for such an item, but if that does not stop you - PM me.

ship using pirateship's simple export rate. It will cost like 10-12 bucks.

It's a card that lets your computer use SCSI drives, but that is not important right now.
