This post created from it....but just a bit of a FWIW....I've sold a lot of people on Mint that just need a basic use system (laptop or tower); such as web browsing, email, facebarf, office-related stuff, and basic photo editing..... If they want to pay for a Windows license, I'm happy to install it for them....but usually after a quick demo of Mint, many are willing to try it. Of the 2 dozen-ish I've succeeded with this, I've only had one come back and say he wanted to go back to Windows. |

![]() Scored a Logitech Performance MX mouse for $0.99. Paired it to a spare unifying reciever I had sitting, works great... but the jury's out on the battery (rechargable AA NiMH, easy to replace).

![]() My last laptop to use unifying was the E6430... my last one with mini-PCIe slots that could be adapted to internal USB dongles. Such an adapter doesn't exist for m.2 AFAIK so my thinkpads have all been multi-profile bluetooth.
Which reminds me of a score I forgot to mention: I scored the Logitech K850 keyboard that goes with my M720 Triathalon mouse for $2 on Saturday. Like the mouse, it's the white & gray kind... which means all the buttons are dual marked for mac and windows/linux! Not nearly as useful as the mouse (since I use with with my current main laptop, the T460s), but good to have for hotel use (like the mouse, it's a combo of unifying and three-profile bluetooth). |

![]() Western Digital 80GB Special Edition EIDE hard disk from 2002, still brand new in the factory shrink-wrap. $78 shipped. Drive works just fine and I'm cloning an 80GB Maxtor drive to it as I speak.

Nice drive for the period. I remember shortly thereafter they released the 10K raptors, first releases (3.5", not the 2.5" velociraptors, they came a little later) were 36gb with a 74gb following...8mb caches, but these were SATA1, not much faster than IDE....but they were nice on an IDE interface with an adapter. They were freight trains, you couldn't kill one! |

![]() Pulled the trigger on another 440BX gem. This time - an ABIT BE6-II !
You'd imagine I'd stop after getting an equally rare Soyo 6BA +IV and a ASUS P2B (which to be honest, is getting scarce here in Romania!) on my hands. No way I'mma stop there. B-)

![]() Scored a free ASUS A7N8X-VM/400. Basically the GF4MX version of the A7N8X - flashed the absolutely crappy AMIBIOS to Award (Chaintech 7NIF2) and besides a non-working thermal sensor (doesn't trip, it's just sitting stuck at 100*C with no option to turn it off) so far Windows 98SE started loving it - booted extremely fast and detected almost more than half of the hardware, bar the AC97 sound chip from Realtek (yes, it has a Realtek chip, not CMI8738 as I read somewhere else.), a few USB ports plus the Ethernet side (which is basically down to me needing to install the drivers for nForce on 98SE.), everything works and is rather snappy.

![]() I have 10 of these with under 100 hrs of use, they aren't that special and I have never seen them go for more than $20.

![]() Scored a recased Spire Jewel unit (guessing it's the 380W model), Sun Pro AT-2005B PCB. Comes in handy as it's beefy all around while maintaining a low profile, has a strong enough 5v rail and has the -5v wire too.
Whoever owned it before me literally just replaced the main caps with Panasonic CE 680uF 200v, but left the other JEE caps on the secondary, as well as a Fuhjyyu on the 5vsb. Recapped with Nichicon HM (2008 datecode), Rubycon MBZ, Sanyo WG for 5vSB. |

![]() Scored a cartload of stuff at Goodwill Outlet for $21... Which included a HP Laserjet Pro CP1525nw Color. Works great and had 4 full 3rd part toner cartridges.
As soon as I give one away another hunts me down... Last edited by ratdude747; 05-01-2022 at 05:26 PM.. |

Nice pickup. To my surprise, good laser printers sell....I've sold quite a few, for a nice profit. |

![]() Worst part is if it's at the outlet, that means a regular goodwill store either couldn't sell it or rejected it. The bad news for heavy stuff is that the outlet sells stuff by the pound ($1.59), but if you have an item over 20lb, the manager is allowed to (and usually will if requested) override the per-pound price for the item (or the whole cart!) to help such things move. The only downside is complete PC sales are not allowed (even if no HDD) so if one slips though, if you try to buy it and ask for a 20lb discount, they pull it instead. It's a game all right... dare I say a rat race? |
