Re: best cheap/free scores 1.1
Scored a Dell P2210Hc 22" 1080P LCD for roughly $18 (was in a lot sold by weight). Not technically an UltraSharp (Dell lists it as a "professional" model), but has all the features of one (dual-swivel stand with height adjustment, dual port USB hub, etc). Not a huge score... but I'll take it.
Earlier in the weekend:
- 4 SATA DVD burners for $19 total. Two are lightscribe. My stock was a bit low, so a good oppertunity to replenish.
- 5 Netgear Gigabit PCI cards new in box (shrink wrap) for $3 a hit. Realtek chipset. Will probably rehome most/all of them... but I wanted to make sure they stayed out of the scrapper!Last edited by ratdude747; 11-28-2021, 09:51 PM.sigpic

Re: best cheap/free scores 1.1
Today's freebie is an "Access" Luggable computer made in November 1983; in the USA. I never could find a model number on this, but apparently the model name is "Access Matrix"; supposedly one of the first portables made. Information is a bit sketchy for this....definitely seems to be an oddity! Has a built-in dot matrix printer and a modem that you set the telephone handset in!!
It is in working order; boot disks and floppy drive protection cards included. No other clue as to specs....not that it would be anything to get excited about from 1983.... I'm not going to go any further with it than to clean it up externally, and it's really pretty clean. Work of art display piece though!

Re: best cheap/free scores 1.1
It would (it looks like these were available with XP, Vista, or 7 when new back in 2009), but I've got a bunch of newer Laptops with 7 (Including a fairly high-spec Dell Precision M4600), and only a couple older/lower-spec XP machines (a lower-spec Lenovo Thinkpad R61 and an ancient bet to hell Acer Aspire 5000 [not sure what kind of plastic they used but it got brittle with time and is very prone to cracking]) so I find it more useful in that configuration for the software I have that isn't windows 7/10 compatible. Not to mention that XP is downright quick on this, even with the mechanical HDD.Comment

Re: best cheap/free scores 1.1
Scored a pretty strong Gericom laptop, model Supersonic M6-T 1200. OEM'd by FIC, surprisingly.
Specs:
full blown Tualatin 1.2GHz P3
Mobility Radeon M6 32MB
30GB HDD upped to 40GB
512MB PC133
VIA 694T (according to the almost only Czech site that lists its specs with a slight error)
14.1" LCD
Came with XP recovery disc (Home), a bunch of rather retro stuff (Nero 6, CyberDVD), had Win7 set up on the 30GB drive. Swapped in a 40GB Hitachi and it awaits a 98SE or 2000 install.Main rig:
Gigabyte B75M-D3H
Core i5-3470 3.60GHz
Gigabyte Geforce GTX650 1GB GDDR5
16GB DDR3-1600
Samsung SH-224AB DVD-RW

Very nice! Don't ruin that with win98! Win2k or XP all the way! Win2k will be fine on 512mb RAM, XP, not so much. It should be able to take atleast 1gb, possibly 2gb depending on slot config.<--- Badcaps.net Founder

Re: best cheap/free scores 1.1
Since it's a desktop 694T, it's 2GB max, but yeah, gonna have to tell myself good luck finding any sticks bigger than 512MB, since they're SODIMMs, not usual DIMMs (though IIRC there are some laptops that used normal desktop DIMMs, not sure if it was Chicony with their MP series laptops.)
As for OS, the machine does have a recovery disc + COA for a German version of XP Home Edition (since Gericom, like Medion and a few other brands, was a german brand, for the most part) and the specs do fit 2k just great, but I feel like the match for a great 2k laptop would be one of those Compaq Presario 700 series laptops, the ones that sport ceramic Durons or Athlons. For this, especially since the "generic" look fits it so much, I decided to go with 98SE, and plan to deck it out as much as possible. Also going to take the Radeon M6-P for a good spin.Main rig:

It's definitely a collectible, but I don't see any sane person paying that for it. I could see a couple hundred realistically...but not much more.

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...
