I have wanted to do this for a while now lets see if it works here at the cafe.

Where is the best Deal for Parts and Why.

Do you have parts sitting around that Others could use to make the Computers Cruch Better.

Example: I need a Flat Panel LCD Monitor 19" or better.

Do you have one?
If not where is the best deal besides the rip offs at sites like EBAY.


Rules.

1. No Flames.
2. Keep it on Topic.
3. No Spam Sites Please.

and I can set up something for you.

I have to finacial interest short of getting equipment
at a affordable price. I own no sites and am not affiliated whith any company.

Hmmmm.... CA, this looks like it could be a very useful thread. I, myself, will start building a new PC and, of course, will be in need of parts and pieces. I will keep my eye on this thread and post a request if and when needed. Thanks.... (-:<

I concure. Awesome thread. I have some older equipment that I am willing to trade out for other things. Someone could enjoy some of this older equipment to build/upgrade older things. I will try and get a list together sometime.

Great Siran and Pooh! I think this could be a valuable thread.
Maybe there is a real wholesaler out there (No 2nd and third party wholesaler)that would be willing to help us and won't screw us and charge 70 bucks for shipping....a pound. The real deal. help us all Crunch! I have a bunch of stuff too and when I am better I will make a list too......

Good idea CA.
I'll conjure up a list tonight.

I did happen to find for you what seems like a good deal on a 19" monitor. The price is low and the reviews are more positive than negative. [link]

BTW, get better.

I second that "get better", Also Pricewatch has a nice 19"FP from Newegg. 8-)

I Desire Peace and Justice, Jim Scott (Mod-Ret.)

Superior idea CA. I would have had a bunch of parts to list until recently. I had them in my closet since the Classic days. I didn't want to use them because, for me, average unit time was the thing. I just kept buying faster parts.

A little while ago I put most of them together and made three computers for my cancer support group. They're crunching Rosetta and Predictor now.


I'll spread the word though.

Another Captain Avatar coolness!

wow esp! I just found it and was considering it already. The one thing that bothers me about all the LCD monitors in broken Pizels and the return policies
for them. Some wont take them back unless they have 3 or more dead spots. som sites it's 8!....

But this Monitor seems like a good deal.

Since I am homebound I wanted to get one that I could set on my lap or the stand next to my easy chair. That way I dont have to get up and move to the work station.

I am going to cobb up a small puter tonite to sit behind my chair and net work it over..........

I realy can't afford the monitor but if I can use it after I get better it's worth it......

Lets keep this thread moving! Maybe we can get some good tech advice too!

Like how to refur bush a Old puter to dedicate it to SETI Stuff etc....

Bump for exposure! for the 2nd and Third shift!

I have an Canon Lide 30 scanner just collecting dust.
And a Dell 17" CRT monitor {fairly new condition} as well, but it would probably cost more to ship than it's worth.

Thanks Dog, Someone could use it I am sure! It is a very good scanner
and it's great for Book scanning too.

Here is the list I promised.

Dont expect miracles, I dug up this stuff from pretty deep in the closet here.
Some of that hardware is [bold]phenomenaly arcane[/bold] and requires some explaining, see further down for some interesting info.

By the way, these are freebies. Thats right. You pay for the shipping and thats it. I'm not using the stuff and this is its last chance for salvation from the bin one could say.

First off some MCA Cards.
If you dont know what these are right off the bat you DO NOT need them :P
These cards were pulled from a working model 9595a. I got tired of seeing the 50 pound clunkers so II gutted them. Sorry no planars or PSUs ( a.k.a. arc welders ).

Now this is a thing of beauty. This is an External SCSI, self-contained PSU and fan AUTHOTRING DVD burner. Supports 4.1Gb DVD 1.1 format ( firmware ok ). This drive can NOT be used with the " general usage " DVD-R media we a re used to, it requires AUTHORING DVD-R media. This drive produces valid "Master" discs that can be industrialy replicated ( I.E. no copy protect ). If you have a home studio or wish to mass produce some DVD-media this might be for you.

As previously stated this is some pretty fancy ( and old! ) hardware... I admit one has to be in a pretty precise situation of need to require one of these items. If you want any ( or all ) of this lemme know and we can work out an agreement. For some reason I find ancient hardware...fascinating and I would gladly indulge anyone who shares this fascination.

I did fool around with the 95a's before you ask. I had them run Win NT4 ( ran like a charm ), Novell Netware 3.12 server and OS/2 of course.

Thats all folks

Edit : I almost always edit my posts dont I ? :P

I got an old E-machine, has everything but the hard drive for it. Would love to get an old HD for it, and start playing around with linux on it. :-) Anyone have one that would still work and decent price, let me know. :-) I'm a dummy when it comes to linux, so any advise on that end would be cool too. :-) (and I have been reading the Linux vs Windows thread btw)

Hi Jeremy!

Unless someone lives close to you I would buy a cheap hard drive, they are so inexpensive and you dont need a big one to run BOINC. how old is the E-Machine?
