Hey Guys, I've got some good news (well, mostly for me ;) )!
I went down in my basement (it's more like a grotto, stinky and wet) to have a look into some boxes.
I definitly need a lot of plastic boxes if I want to store anything in there without getting ...ehm...mouldy(?), which is absolutly annoying. :angry: :angry: :angry:
Well, down there I found a half rotten box full of stuff. the last box in the corner....
I found...
2 of my first HDDs I ever bought!



a very special construction




my good old pinnacle tv card


2 cpu coolers I missed (1 with green hair :sick: )


my complete linux 8.0 cd + dvd set incl documentation plus a set of linux 9.3 cds
and

(drumroll).......

THIS!!!

Hehe, that's quite funny. Same CPU, same adaptor... ;)
I still have the original box.

JEP!
I bought 3 mobos today for together 15€.
Medion 9901 Slot I with 500MHz CPU (I think it's MSI, but no agp, gfx onboard...better than nothing),



ECS P6VAP-A+ PGA370 with P3 866MHz,



MSI MS5129 Socket 7 with P1/MMX 166MHz




Was a great day.

that's a fantastic find, €15 for a socket 7 board on its own is fantastic never mind the 3!!! socket 7 boards are near impossible to find for under £75 here!

that is a nice find, generally the stuff all for sale on the big places such as ebay is expensive as most people know what they have. Bargains to be found on some smaller websites at some times such as gumtree
