    Re: best cheap/free scores 1.1

    got 2 8d batteries free because while they are new they were tested bad by an idiot.
    they are dry charged.of course they will be dead till acid is added!

      SMOG!! Aren't they around $700 a piece??!!

      Polys coming soon

      Of course, now the weather breaks nice and now all I want to do is be outside working in the gardens. Just got done picking up a tarp full of crap from this last storm.

        WRT54G v2.2... nice piece you've got there. Have you put DD-WRT on that yet? Also, what are those reflectors you put on the antennae? Might have to check that out for my WRT54G

          Yeah, I put DDWRT on it as soon as I got it home.
          This is the antenna reflectors:
          http://www.freeantennas.com/projects...te2/index.html
          Those are standard size I had on it. Says 9dBm which is about what I got, maybe a little more. It was being used as a client there, so the fact that it made it pretty directional worked out fine.

          OC'd it and cranked up the output power to 100mw.

            HP scanner was in the street last week!
            too bad the psu wasnt, but i got a 24v switcher, so i just need to pick up a 2.1mm power plug to see if it's good.

                What are those weird proto yagis you have attached to the dipoles?

They had double superiority in tanks and aircraft, triple in artillery, and in air defense and anti-tank weapons they had absolute supremacy. And what? Once again they were beaten. Once again they scrammed [sic]. Once again they screamed for us to come save them. Sadat woke me up in the middle of the night twice over the phone, 'Save me!' He demanded to send Soviet troops, and immediately! No! We are not going to fight for them."

                            For $30 I scored myself 3 motherboards. Only thing wrong with them is bad caps. I can get $50 each if I sell them in a refurbished PC at work, so it should be easy money. There is an Intel D865PERL, a D865GBF and a Lenovo thinkcentre motherboard. All seem OK so far after repairs. I even gave the D865PERL a poly-mod on the VRM and I'm stress testing it in Prime95 as I type this. The others got rubycons.
                            I love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!

                                Supermicro X7DAL-E for $24+ship.
                                Used these usually go for $200 and up.

                                Ad said it had a chip in PCB near CPU #2 implying CPU-2 might not work.
                                Asked for close-up photos and the chip was in the edge of PCB were it didn't affect any traces.

                                  Just got two freebie power supplies, Bestec ATX-250 12E. Both dead with 5vsb problems, but for me, an easy fix.

                                  I will use one with Abit KT7A which I have recapped. But can't check out my recap job because it doesn't have a cpu....yet. Anyone got a AMD socket 462 cpu running somewhere between 700 and 1000 Mhz?

                                  Got the first Bestec fixed by doing the DM311 mod. The original switching transistor was open, and I didn't want to damage anything further by trying to fix that 2 transistor circuit and creating a fireworks show!

                                          The Abit board will take a cpu from 500 mhz to 1200 mhz, so the 1300 simply won't do me any good. When you can get hands on the 1000 mhz cpu, I am interested. Just pm me when you have it and I will send you some post money.
