Facepunch Hardware Trading Thread v2: Come buy all QuikKill's stuff - Hardware & Software

the monitor's worth less than $100 though, its just marked up because it's not being made anymore and whatever

[QUOTE=JC2Gamer1456;45088899]Keep in mind, you're getting a WHOLE PC. If it was just the tower, I would understand. The PC itself has enough wattage to add another 770. The 3570k is more than enough for gaming.[/QUOTE]that doesn't matter, you're overpricing by at least 100-200. but then again, most people here won't spend 1g and get a ivy, just saying

[QUOTE=Phrozen99;45058140]Not the point. Why do I need a $350 cpu when all it does it play netflix and browse facebook. I'd rather save some cash and trade up for a cpu/mobo combo or some shit.[/QUOTE] I never like letting go of high end parts because more than a few times I did and I ended up having a use for them weeks/months later. But that's just me. [QUOTE=ClaBrendon;45089225]that doesn't matter, you're overpricing by at least 100-200. but then again, most people here won't spend 1g and get a ivy, just saying[/QUOTE] The difference between IB and Haswell is like 10-15% at most. I'd say 900 is a fair price if the guy is paying for shipping because that's going to eat a chunk out of that price.

Even if you have insurance, you better pack it [I]really[/I] good. I've shipped an entire PC across country before and I took the thing down to parts and used sweaters and towels to wrap every part individually. When it got to the destination, the box was fucked. It had holes everywhere and was crushed, but all of the parts inside survived, though the sweaters and towels were write-offs.

And it can be upgraded to a 3770k if anyone cares to. Considering you'd pay 1300-1400 on pcpartpicker to build this, I'd say 900 is a good price.

And that monitor is crap as balls, not even close to 260. For 1300 you can do way better now, just saying that anyone smart enough to drop 900, wouldn't do it for a last gen, at least I wouldn't, especially with Intels new Haswell coming at the end of June, I say put it on Craigslist or part it out here, but you never know who will buy things. i'd also advise putting packing shit inside the case with the components, but thats just me.

Doe anyone have a Razer Deathadder Voodoo Edition they'd sell? These are not made anymore, and there's none on Ebay nor Craigslist. [img]http://s12.postimg.org/rbp3x9ujx/238755791_o.jpg[/img]

I've got the following mechanical keyboards up for trade for anything. I'm mostly looking for a hard drive or a new case. My case no longer has side panels and my hard drive is an old 250GB laptop drive that takes 2-3 tries to boot up now if I leave it sitting overnight. Anything else you have, let me know. The mechanical keyboards are 1992 Model M, a Razer Blackwidow Ultimate 2013 model, and a Dell AT101W.

Does anyone have some really old PCI video cards? I'm looking for a few specific models that I can reflash with a Mac BIOS to work in my B&W G3. AGP won't work because the G3 doesn't have AGP slots. I'd need a Radeon 7000, 9000 or 9200 (no SE or 9250) or a Geforce FX5200/5500. The Rage 128 currently in it is painfully slow. I recently modded a Geforce 6200 for my other Mac G4 (up from a Geforce 2 MX) and it's like a whole new machine.

Just saw this post unfortunately because I just sorted about 100 old cards, many of which were PCI video cards, for recycle.

[QUOTE=Original User;45250767]Funny you should mention that. I have G3 I picked up a week ago for free. Beautiful inside. [B]It has an ATI Rage, is crossfire possible?[/B][/QUOTE] Uh, no. The first dual GPU ATI card was the Rage Fury MAXX which did alternate frame rendering (AFR) and only worked under Windows 98SE. If you plan on actually using the G3, you should seriously consider sourcing a better video card for it. The Rage 128 Pro that comes with it standard (or any other Rage card for that matter) is going to have awful performance under OS X. OS 9.x won't be as bad but there's nothing even remotely modern you can run on it. If you want to run OS 9.x, the best alternative card is probably a 3dfx Voodoo3 PCI. Flashing a Mac BIOS on one is easy and there are native 3dfx OS 8-9 drivers for it. If you just want 3D acceleration, you can get a Voodoo2 and daisy chain it onto the existing card with the pass-through cable. For OS X (the highest supported version is 10.4.11) you can use the cards I listed. There are hacks to make 10.5 work on a G3, but 10.4 is already slow enough, especially if you have a sub 350 MHz G3. I have a 733 MHz G4 in my G3 which gives it some oomph.

Thanks for telling me. I think I wanna use my G3 for something fun, but I don't know what. It has 320mbs of RAM and a 350MHz CPU. Will it play any older games like Fallout 1 and 2?

I have an eMac sitting around that I was considering doing what ABR said to it. Throw a mini-ITX board in it and a nice portable (lol 60ish lbs) LAN-box could be had.

Quake runs like ass on my iMac G3 600 (Rage 128 Ultra 16M) and so does Quake 2 and UT99. [QUOTE=AugustBurnsRed;45258029]I had a first gen imac with the 333mhz G3, couldn't do jack shit with it really. I would gut it and put a normal PC in it[/QUOTE] The biggest limitation of the first gen iMacs is the GPU (Rage IIc or Rage Pro with 2/6 MB SGRAM.) If I were doing a project with one of those old things, I'd keep the CRT if it was still good (because I love CRTs and getting an LCD screen in one doesn't look right.) You might be able to use the existing power supply if you made an adapter. I have an iMac G3 Snow (600 MHz / 1GB / 40 GB) that I put Linux on.

Can I put modern hardware in the case with minimal modding? I have the tower with the handles. If I can't put modern components, it will be a Linux box

[QUOTE=Original User;45267951]Can I put modern hardware in the case with minimal modding? I have the tower with the handles. If I can't put modern components, it will be a Linux box[/QUOTE] Putting an ATX motherboard in a G3 case requires significant metal work. While the B&W motherboard may look like it's ATX, the dimensions don't match, nor do the mounts. You'd have to do significant amounts of cutting, hole tapping and bondoing to make it look even somewhat right. I would just go the Linux route. There are several PowerPC distros out there (Ubuntu, Debian, MintPPC, etc.) Though again, you need a better video card because the Rage is a pain in the ass to make work under Linux.
