1113619 2010-07-05 07:49:00 I have 2 x 120GB Seagate SATA drives.

NZ$50 for both if you want them.

PM me if you're interested.

1113620 2010-07-05 10:18:00 Why do you specifically need low spec hardware? Is it just a price issue? Greven (91)

Me thinks the older it is the cooler it is.

1113622 2010-07-05 11:30:00 I got a tonne of it left over from the computer excellence awards 2008, I got into the finals with it (yay me) but now a recycled computer made out of scrap capable of running XP doesn't rally sound that impressive :P. I can' be bothered sorting it all but from memory I have several pentium 3's an AMD 2ghz processor (not sure what type) an Nvidia 128mb Vanta LT gfx card a sound blaster sound card misc sound card 512mb RAM (PC133) several mobos (incl the one for the pentiums and the AMD) a couple of PSU's There's a quantum bigfoot (literally BIG foot 4gb hdd a 8gb hdd a 32gb hdd and a 120gb hdd (all IDE)

I'd say come on over and have fun with it but I think shipping/posting it from wlg to taranaki is a bit expensive for this lot but if you do want them they are chillaxing in my garage! (not sure if they all work at the moment. they did for the excellence awards but I never really touched them since then so it might be better to leave them. bit of a waste to ship them up if something like the mobo don't work. I know the AMD process works and the HDDs are fine along with ram and sound. not so sure about the mobo's and the GFX cards)

1113623 2010-07-05 11:35:00 The bigfoot still works? It should be in a museum. I think I still have a bigfoot somewhere, but I doubt it still works after all these years. Greven (91)
1113624 2010-07-05 11:39:00 I've got a 20 mb SCSI hdd, (Amiga A590). But dont have the power supply. It'll probably work. If it was plugged into a SCSI adapter Speedy Gonzales (78)
1113625 2010-07-05 11:42:00 Oh and I just remembered my decrepit toshiba external floppy with a connector the size of Jupiter!! still works, they got one the same at the Police museum (scary thought when your first lappy shows up in a MUSEUM!! at my age you do not expect that to happen!!)

1113626 2010-07-05 11:48:00 Error Guy - every time I see one of your posts I think of ErrorSafe. That icon in the system tray still haunts my dreams. Greven (91)
1113627 2010-07-06 03:53:00 Oh, don't worry greven, i'm still there. the system tray supports transparency thats all! The Error Guy (14052)
