Re: best cheap/free scores 1.1
it's a hotswap unit, you have a pair running in parallel.
if one fails you pull it out and fit a spare without cutting the power.
i had some similar ones from Delta.Comment

Re: best cheap/free scores 1.1
Free 24k btu, 220v ac with the remote and all working perfectly. The power cord is 12 gauge, absolutely mad.
Edit: Oh yeah, it's filthy because it was in a shed for awhile, stored right side up so compressor is all good. Also, as an hvac tech, you can just flip the compressor over and leave it there for 4 hours, it will be fine after that if it's been accidentally stored incorrectly. Now you know.Attached FilesLast edited by jazzie366; 05-21-2018, 07:14 PM.Popcorn.Comment

Re: best cheap/free scores 1.1
I need one of those for my tech room with 0.000000000000000000001% insulation in it.Don't buy those $10 PSU "specials". They fail, and they have taken whole computers with them.
My computer doubles as a space heater.

Re: Your Best Dumpster Finds
Just found a machine that had:
ASUS P5GD2-VM/S - i915G, DDR2
Delta 200W PSU (that came from a SLOT 1 machine and had its wires butchered to fit the newer style 24 pin and 12v P4 connectors)
52x LG CD-ROM (yes, a CD-ROM.)
Celeron D LGA775 CPU
512MB DDR2-533 RAM
and some crappy mATX case filled with beans (yes, I found several beans in there.)Main rig:

Re: best cheap/free scores 1.1
You guys get such good stuff, I'm jealous! But today, I was one of the first 250 customers at the opening of a new grocery store. I got:
A one pound package of sausage
1 dozen grade A large eggs
4-pack apple pastries from the grocery's deli/bakery
64 ounces orange juice ( = 0.5 gallon = 1.89 liters)
18-ounce bottle barbecue sauce (Montgomery Inn BBQ -- a local Cincinnati favorite!)
absolutely free. I know it's food, not computers or electronics, but it was free, and it doesn't have to be computers/electronics to be here. I can list free food.Last edited by Hondaman; 05-24-2018, 12:18 AM.Comment

Re: best cheap/free scores 1.1
Schneider SVC-216 (similar to my old 616, much to my surprise).
There's something wrong with it though - tapes won't spin when I press play, but will spin when rewinding or such.
Also it will only play the tape for about 3-5 seconds, then proceed to eject it.
Anybody know a fix?Main rig:

Re: Your Best Dumpster Finds
Oh noes, don't tell me this was a proprietary Dell PSU from the PII/PIII era wired into a standard ATX PSU, lol.
While these proprietary PSUs are built extremely well (typically Japanese caps), they do have a few weaknesses - mainly the very low 5VSB rating and fairly low 12V rail rating.
Lol, you don't burn CDs anymore?
Might just be the best find of that whole PC. Now put the beans in a flower pot and wait 'till they grow. When you get enough, you can make some bean soup (ciorba de fasoli? )

Another cheap ebay score, Supermicro 900w power supply (PWS-903-PQ). Just happened upon it with a very low BIN price and snapped it up.<--- Badcaps.net Founder

Recently I've gotten into EC flashing due to my broken laptop(s) and started frantically searching methods for flashing the IT5571E-128 chip on the cheap(due to me beaing a student and not having a job) and noticed that ITE newer chips can be flashed via ISP (In-System Programming) either via SMBus or the KBC (EPP - Enhanced Parallel Port) interface. While these can be achieved with programmers like SVOD4/3 or the RT809H/F those options are WAYYY out of my budget so I was horrified. But recently I stumbled uppon some programmers on aliexpress that claim they can program a variety of ITE chips...06-17-2025, 07:17 AM

My Mom bought some cheap motion sensor lights on wish... then complains about about batteries and this thing chews though them, well it uses 4 AAA batteries and a pack of rechargeable ones is about 13 USD
well since it uses 4 AAA and rechargeable are 1.2v and non-recharge at 1.5 this thing must work with 4.8-6v, I'll shove a USB cable on it, infant i will use a broken phone charge cable... dam this thing uses 430 mA and they made it battery powered...
lets ignore the fact that i thought the board fit both ways... and the wire color is reversed going to the board... -
Hi all,
I was looking to upgrade my main multimeter (Asita MD591) with something that has more features. I'll use it mostly for board diagnostic and diy repairs. I've been eyeing out many of those multi-function ones from Aliexpress but can't seem to make my mind up. Here are the features that I'm looking after:
- Autorange
- DC volts up to 30V
- Accurate Resistance
- Diode test (Beep mode)
- Frequency up to 200MHz
- Capacitanze up to 5000uF
- as cheap as possible
Other functions are not needed but those which are needed... -
Just as the title states. Two cheap SiS machines, surprisingly stable.
What I will tackle in the near future (the build will be slightly postponed due to slight stomach issues - am still recovering and my physical power (sorry if it sounds weird,English isn't quite my primary language) isn't the best at the moment. Especially with the diet I have to take at the moment.) are two SiS based machines.
The first one is a IPC rebranded Mitac 7521T. Why did I feel the need to tackle this machine? Well, just look at the specs:
CPU - P3 1100MHz Coppermine... -
"Caseless Cheap Chinese electronic tools" I mean things you get from banggood, ali, fleabay, Am-Zon, etc. like AVR-Transistortester, miscellaneous signal generators, frequency counters, (variable) power supplies, oscilloscopes, low resistance meters, etc., etc. that comes optionally with a case, or comes only with a cheap piece of plastic that barely provides protection to the PCB.
Just wondering what of these (generally flimsy) tools you actually find use (almost) everyday and find indispensable for the price, compared to buying a Fluke or whatnot, if there is an expensive...
