| 432555 | 2006-02-21 09:55:00 | Hi, I've been looking for some older computer components to upgrade my archaic machine, but I can't find any about. I've tried search engines and trade me, but no luck. I thought it would be pretty easy, as there used to be lots about. Does anyone know of any good second-hand parts dealers in NZ (esp.

| 432560 | 2006-02-21 10:14:00 | I've tried about 10 stores in Chch, and the lowest PCI cards I've found are 64 meg and need a 300watt power supply (xfx and pine brands), which I've pretty sure the box I have won't supply. Seen some 2nd hand AGP cards though. | icevole (9842) | ||
