I Need: All Your Old Dead boards

[TheGreatSatan]

I need a lot of motherboards. I'd rather have dead ones because I'm only using them as decoration. My Manager at work has authorized me to wallpaper my department in old motherboards, like my house

I need about 36 boards total and I think I only have about a dozen extra.

If you have any old boards collecting dust or know someone who does, I will gladly pay for the shipping to me. I've looked at eBay, but they're all multiples of the same thing and lots of circuit boards that are not motherboards.

[Scottie Daddy]

I have a couple. I'll send them all and you can decide what to keep or toss.

[TheGreatSatan]

Awesome

[Airbozo]

Can it be some SUN and SGI motherboards or are you looking specifically for PC motherboards?

[TheGreatSatan]

Computer is the only qualification, but what do they look like?

If it looks like this, then Hell YES!! Those are wild!!

I have a laptop board that has seen better days. Are you interested?

[Konrad]

My precious junkbox full of ancient <ahem> 486 VLB boards ... well, also a bunch of "newer" pieces ranging all the way up to about P4P800-VI stuff ... not a single one works, in fact, every bloody one of these dead mobos has been partially gutted for some connector or socket or whatnot.

It's been so very, very long since I've ever needed to dip into the box to salvage parts of parts. Probably at least 20 pieces in there (2'x2' moving box, though it contains non-mobo things like dead wheelmouse parts and other such crap too). How many mobos do you want? They come in green, green, green, silvery green, red, blue, and even black.

[Bopher]

I have 3 old motherbaords. Pretty sure they are dead. Let me know what needs to be done to send them to you. And they're yours.

[TheGreatSatan]

How many mobos do you want? They come in green, green, green, silvery green, red, blue, and even black.

As many as you can spare:banana:

[Cale_Hagan]

i should have a fair amount. let me inventory them and ill let you know tomorrow. i have at least 4 or 5 to spare....
probably more.
ill double check when i get home.
even have 1 rambus motherboard from the 478 socket, right before ddr came out.
how many more do you need to collect?

[TheGreatSatan]

At least 20

[Yeticorn]

I think I have a few laying around. Let me know where to send them.

[Aero]

Wish I could help. Just turned all 12 of my old collection over to recycling a few months ago.

Oh. And Hello All.

[AmEv]

Here I thought you were going to make a case out of the dead boards...

Still, I have a boatload of dead boards, including some of your favorite kind: Apple motherboarrds....

[TheGreatSatan]

Boatload, really?

Would you be able to send it as quickly as you mailed the 6850?

[AmEv]

Funny -_-

Well, I've got a job now, so the initial cost factor shouldn't be a problem.

[Cale_Hagan]

ill get you a count soon. prolly upwards of 10 + mobo's. i am gathering mine as i clean out my garage, and so is my buddy. send me your shipping details, and ill send you a care pack in the next 2 weeks. :santa:

[AmEv]

^Ditto. Send me your addy, and I can send it to you. Got cash now, so....

[TheGreatSatan]

PM's are out. You both get a FREE copy of Metro 2033: Last Light

[AmEv]

Thanks again!

I'll be honest: I crammed some boards in, so I don't know how they will do during shipping. Since they're dead anyway, I really don't care....

[Cale_Hagan]

woohoo! now that i have your mailing addy, ill put a big box together for you. 8)

[TheGreatSatan]

Thanks again!

I'll be honest: I crammed some boards in, so I don't know how they will do during shipping. Since they're dead anyway, I really don't care....

And neither do I:whistler:

[AmEv]

Do I smell a case out of extra PCBs coming?

Or is that just my imagination running wild as usual?

[AmEv]

Shipped.

Æ....

[AmEv]

Should come today.... Has it come yet?

[Cale_Hagan]

shipped today. 5 or 6 boards.
my friend is trying to find his box of 10+ old boards atm too. if he finds them, i will ship them out asap. :D

[TheGreatSatan]

Received both! Thanks

[Cale_Hagan]

about how many more do you need? :D

[AmEv]

Please have a picture when you get enough!

[TheGreatSatan]

I'm still trying to figure out how to mount them

[Cale_Hagan]

idea 1....
lick it, then stick it, and hope it doesn't fall.
idea 2...
industrial grade epoxy.
idea 3...
duct tape and super glue.

if you can't fix it/make it work with those + wd-40, you don't need a tool box.


oh, but you meant for business, not home decor?
i guess those regular home fixes won't work then.
scratch that. :think:

[AmEv]

Idea #4: REALLY long nails.

[Cale_Hagan]

TGS, how many more do you need? or are you at capacity now? :think:

[Outlaw]

Mounting- Long thin screws through the standoff holes (drill out holes if necessary).

Still looking?

I might have a couple if needed.

[TheMainMan]

I might be able to turn out a few if you still need more.

[AmEv]

Hmmm....


Double-sided foam tape would probably be your best bet, as it is the least destructive...


If you haven't gotten them mounted yet....

[iil888]

The company I work for, has changed the system so I may send some motherboards if you want....
