    Looking for a Socket-462 (Socket-A) Heatsink

    OP, you have no idea how much dust I had to eat to dig out these artifacts. Pretty sure the bigger one is what you're looking for, but feel free to shoot me some dimensions to compare. 754/939/940 through AM2/+/3 yes, with factory bracket. OP is asking for some proper vintage crap that's...

    WTB, 17" screen, win 11 laptop for an old lady

    With a hack, you can install W11 on some very old hardware. Intel 6/7 gen does not require a hack and is fully and natively supported by W11 with a clean install. Except for it doesn't, unless you want to do in-place upgrade (8th gen and up is required then). But rarely is in-place upgrade a...

    WTB, 17" screen, win 11 laptop for an old lady

    Are you looking for a 15.6", or 17" laptop? Those are basically your options. The bigger the laptop, the heavier it is, so make sure you make the "client" aware of that. Sitting on a couch with a 5+ pound weight (w/ 17" screen) might not be what she had in mind. For Win11, you need Intel 6th Gen...

    FS: Alphacool 240mm Radiator

    Not trying to thread crap, but this can be used with a USB3 A to C adapter. I have the Evolve2 65 USB-C, and successfully used it with said adapter on USB3-A ports. Yea, eBay kinda sucks for sellers in that respect. GLWS

    WTB Cell Phone $130 to $150 shipped.

    Any interest in a Pixel 4a (128gb, as they all are)? Perfectly functional but cosmetically challenged - I had d-brand skin on it since brand new, but when i went to remove it some of the plasticy coating on the back of the phone came off. Battery health is at 98% per AccuBattery.

    5700XT longevity

    There was an annoying driver bug with the 5700XT where it would not idle the RAM clock (w/ 34" monitors). That made it run a bit hotter at idle, causing the card to ramp up the fans just a bit. I found it super annoying in my quiet PC. Sold the 5700XT ref for $950 shipped on eBay last October...

    Are all DVD writers the same these days?

    I used to have a CD/DVD drive in my home server/htpc - just in case type of deal. Then, I was doing power consumption, and realized that the drive was using 5W of power at idle, just as soon as power was connected to it. Disconnected it right then and there. It is a hassle to find a...

    CLOSED; WTB; Ubiquiti Edgerouter 4, Will consider 6P or 12

    I have EdgeRouter 3L and 4, would let go of the 4 as it's more than I need for my un-complicated home network. It's got a few dings from being in a box with other hardware, but perfectly functional. Router and power cable only as shown. I'll do $155 shipped. Can't find any recent sales here, and...

    Will I notice a difference in speed?

    Spectrum basically told you to flip off because they couldn't be bothered to troubleshoot your problem. That modem is capable of 343mbps down, per specifications. You'll have to call again, unfortunately. Even if what they told you was true, then the 20 you're getting is a bit short of 120...

    WTB/TF: Antec Sonata Case (Open to Other QUIET PC Cases, LMK What You Have)

    Fractal Define Nano S w/o window. The panels have sound deadening mat on them, glass panels obviously do not. Not the quietest case possible, but not far off and has acceptable airflow. NZXT HUSH HU001 is another classic sound deadened case, though airflow is pathetic as with any old case. Might...
