    FS/T: Any Interest in BNIB X3 440 + Gigabyte AM3 mATX?

    Yeah, I'd hate for it to get tossed. And I'm tempted. But I have 2 LGA775 partial systems I will probably play with before this one. Got $35? I'm in Illinois, and that would cover shipping to most places. Unless you happen to be close. -bZj

    Once more before it goes to either Goodwill or I build an unnecessary throwback system.... -bZj

    FS/T: Any Interest in BNIB X3 440 + Gigabyte AM3 mATX?

    El bumpo. I'd offer it with an Antec Sonata II + 500w SmartPower PSU, but the weight would go up noticeably for such a throwback system.... I actually have a pair of 10K IBM drives, and an ATi HD4850. SuperClassic™ set-up! Anyway... offers? -bZj

    FS/T: Any Interest in BNIB X3 440 + Gigabyte AM3 mATX?

    So I was going through old boxes and found a combo I picked up from Fry's (RIP) at some point. Never opened, still with the receipt, actually - though after like 12-13 years, it's totally faded/unreadable. I'm guessing $20-30 to ship, so let's say $60 shipped OBO, to have a price.

    WTB: Intel 730 SSD (non-working OK)

    Are there any of these out there for cheap? Even broken/non-working. I want the case/body, really, so the skull image/label needs to be in great condition. Let me know what'cha got. [Zelle/PayPal] -bZj

    ASRock 25" and 27" FHD IPS 100MHz "Gaming" monitor $50+ship after rebate and product review bonus

    I have the 27" 1440 curved AsRock/PG monitor. Highly recommended for the price ($200 or less). That 27" for $70 is a very tempting deal, if I wasn't waiting/saving for a 2nd curved one. -bZj

    Intel giving ARC a respectable barrier of entry.

    This. ^ When I asked Bard: ==== Here's what we know: Early Days: The original Apple logo, used in 1976, had no bite and featured Isaac Newton sitting under an apple tree with a quote by William Wordsworth. This logo was designed by Ronald Wayne, not Jobs or Wozniak. The Bite: In 1977, Rob...

    New Lian Uni Fan TL LCD Fans Have Screens On Them

    Re:: forum appropriateness: if it's got a link to a review or press release, this is a reasonable subforum to for it. If you just have a question, then the appropriate subforum is more sensible.

    Intel giving ARC a respectable barrier of entry.

    I don't know why they don't screen print them. My HP Zbook has it's own name screenprinted, as well as Bang & Olufsen. Then has the little Xeon sticker. When was the last time you could swap your CPU/GPU in a laptop? (Ages ago, I upgraded my Turion.) So why not just screenprint the Arc/Core...

    Intel giving ARC a respectable barrier of entry.

    I see this as a way for OEMs to upsell you on their RAM, since it must run in dual-channel to get the sticker. So no more cheap upgrades after buying the minimum config. aO_o -bZj
