... I'm sorry, but can you buy other games that aren't Homeworld at a discount?

Not yet, will also try that later today. Edit: Nope, tried the paper clip trick, didn't even get a spark. Oh well! Time for an adapter.

The system uses a smaller version of an ATX power connector - the pinout is exactly the same, I just have to buy an adapter so I can plug it into the board. I still have an older EVGA PSU from my previous computer build so I'll try to get an adapter. Thanks for the suggestions, all. :)

Yep, this is the kind of PSU I'm trying to get. I checked the board for any bulging or leaking capacitors after it wouldn't turn on, and everything seemed fine. But I suppose I could also try to use an ATX PSU with an adapter first, to be sure it's the power supply?

Does anyone have a working HP slimline power supply that would fit in an HP Pavilion s7000 series mini PC? I realize it's kinda dumb to try to fix up one of these old systems, but I needed a PC from that specific era for a project and I took a gamble on one at the nearby flea market, but it...

The Reddit BuildAPCSales mods have banned Woot keys from being advertised there due to people getting bad keys, so I'd avoid buying one from there.

You say AliExpress... do you mean like, the company, or a third party seller there? PayPal is useful but you really shouldn't be using it on businesses that even seem slightly dodgy for one reason or another. That's why you use credit cards with buyer protection instead. PayPal will only go so far.

Ba da bump. :)

Time for me to give something back for once. https://i.imgur.com/bxsiTDe.jpg Anyone want this Black Magic Design DeckLink Mini Monitor card? I bought it at a local amazon return dumpster store a while back, thinking it was a capture card. It's untested (I don't have space to test it in my PC)...

That's just for version 21H2 of Windows 11 - the original one according to Wikipedia. They're saying, "We won't support this version because you haven't updated it to the latest build." If you're on 22H2 (the 2022 update) then you're good for around one more year. If you're on 23H2, you're...

I agree on the YMMV thing. My local post office refused to let me send anything Media Mail for a decade, no matter how much I argued for it. They once stopped me from sending a comic book TPB that was fully eligible based on their "no ads" requirements. Once the postmaster was moved to another...

You'd be surprised at how much stuff is missing from there. And yes, there's a collector's market, which means some eBay sellers are trying to charge me $15 per demo. But I don't want to resell these, just fill in holes in my collection and research data for others to use. I have a near...

Hey folks. I collect old game magazine CDs / DVDs, demo discs, sampler discs, that sorta thing, and I figured I might as well ask if anyone here has some they'd like to part with - preferably for cheap, or in exchange for other items. I mostly do this to document various builds, patches, or...

So here's another thing I forgot to mention about the flat rate envelopes. USPS employees really don't like it when people use the thinner, paper ones to ship anything that isn't documents or something that isn't very thin. I wanted to use one to ship a CD and they refused the package. Also...

I've been selling things on eBay for 20 years. So I have some shipping advice. For shipping smaller things that fit in an envelope through USPS, eBay and Pirate Ship are functionally the same, they both have the same cost. Media Mail is the same, as well. (Though this is just for CDs, DVDs and...
