Hi all, I have some spare parts, that are just collecting dust. Dunno if anyone can use them or needs them. I was gonna build my friend a PC out of them but he is strapped for cash; I can't be bothered to play the bank of Stealer role ergo, thought I'd list them on here:
Ati 270x GPU (think it's AGP, can double check if interested) (fan has stopped working, think it's replaceable, may require soldering - I'm really not sure, I just replaced and upgraded it)
M54A97 mobo with FX6350 and 8 gig kit (2x4 gig) of DDR3 OCZ ram With Arctic freezer pro 7 cpu heatsink.
I have a 8 gig (2x4) kit of Gskillz ripjaws ddr3 as well laying around somewhere)
If anyone can use them, I'm just happy to get rid of them, just pay the postage and slip me a beer token or two.
agp? those are relic
Lol charsi. I might be better saving that for a museum :O
I have no idea about hardware, so I cannot really judge whether the walk to the museum makes sense ;D, but could you not use it for some kind of media center PC?

Ah that's kinda my forte, aye not sure where the nearest IT museum is to me! Aye, that might be a thought :) We've already got 2 desktops and a laptop.
Was just kinda hoping someone on here could make use of the parts, nae bother.
Think there is a PC shop in town, might see if they want it + see if they know their stuff ;)

Not sure dude, haven't heard of that.
Aye still collecting dust. If ya want em, nae bother :)
I'm up in the Highlands, but postage shouldn't be too bad 8)
Thanks for the offer, but I'm constantly clearing out my bits'n'bob's bin. At one point I had enough cables and IDE ribbons to circle the globe :).
I generally punt my old tech on Gumtree or Freecycle. There's usually someone happy to take stuff off your hands.
Hehe, I know the feeling, I've got a few bags full of cables I've collected since the 90s :)) I've still got a few IDE cables, even a null modem cable (think it was serial to serial, can't quite recall without googling or delving through the bags) somewhere! Luckily the missus hasn't made me throw them out: my usual reply is it's good to have spares 8)
Ah nice, I'm a bit outdated, not used those sites before, I only just started using amazon in the past few years :-[
Thanks for the suggestions Grim ;)

These might be useful in the post-apocalyptic world. You'll need all the cables and adapters you can find!
:)) :)) :)) :))
Don't say that Holy, I'll need another house to store all the bits I may find necessary - I've played fallout: I'm gonna be hoarding bottle caps and circular saw blades now 8) :))
I can justify this with the missus now: we need a new shed - Holy said this, I must follow the messiah! ::) 8)
Spares here:
Asus P5E motherboard
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 with some big-ass cooler on!

this was similar to my original UTsetup - gfx was a saphire beast and it was awsome for UT never unregs always high chance of hs - maybe age reaction time and better eyesight at the time but was the best setup i had - even better that the i7 1080gtx i have now
Well it's just sitting in its box behind me if you want it ;)

really? you would give it away? I have a spare system to put it in - will it take a more up to date gfx card or would i need to get an older card?
Also I would nt take it for free doesnt seem right.
I'm on holiday at the moment. I'll check on the specs when I get home and let you know
cheers mate

Looking at the specs it's a PCI express 2.0
Graphics cards in the PCI-E range are backwards compatible with boards, just won't be as quick as a PCI-E 3 board if you have a PCI-E 3.0 gfx card etc.
There's a pretty big cooler that goes with it too, and back plate and (I think) various plug in optional parts for the mobo - sound module and maybe WiFi
@Rage:
Back from holiday. Here's what there is....
I think this is the right PDF for the mobo (https://miasma.rocks/temp/mobo/Asus_e3392_p5e.pdf)
The cooler is a big one. If you want it you're welcome to it - but it won't fit in the box and weighs a little over 900 grams. The box with everything else in it weighs 1717 grams

Do you need any sata cables or thermal compound? I'm sure I have some knocking around.
I think those are the Post office (https://www.postoffice.co.uk/price-finder) options that make sense:
Postage for the mobo without the cooler is Signed For® 2nd Class, 3 days delivery aim, up to £50 for loss or damage:2kg £4.20
Postage for the cooler 1st Class, 1 day delivery aim Up to £20 for loss or damage 1kg £3.85

If you want it you're welcome to it for anything more than the postage cost. Just let me know and I'll PM you account details. Anything over the postage will go into the "keep the server running" kitty.
hey piggy,
got it running with ut aswell but - no sound - only have win 10 and drivers for supreme fx stopped at win 7 so very low sound using gpu hdmi =(
Yay! Good news. My monitor had headphone out so I used HDMI sound for ages on my last pc.

volume is ridiculously low on hdmi sound - ive tried numerous drivers but not found one to give more volume
I'm just trying a £2.50 no-brand USB sound card thing from ebay I got for something else. It works perfectly!

Yeah I had sound through hdmi to monitor but was very quiet - the board has no onboard sound and you have to use the supreme fx to gat any decent sound or buy another soundcard - but it was easier just to dl win 7 and install that =)
so the Q6600 is very stable with a radeon HD8470 gpu im getting 200fps and its very stable - the GTX1060 i have was giving 200-250 with an I7 3770k so for some reason it was bottlenecking slightly then i bent the mobo cpu pins - i then used an athlon A8 6600k but that coupled with the GTX1060 that massively bottlenecked fps drops 60 to 140.
playing using the q6600 UT feels very smooth all i notice now is a slightly higher chance of HS for some reason and very slight delay (ms) due to the shitty 60hrtz 8ms monitor - where i have fired but enemies shot registers first - can be annoying. when I can I will get a better monitor just not in a position to buy atm with house cost and wife being ill.
