Everything I've got is actually in a working system (at least it WAS working last I used it) that is missing a power supply.
The case is steel, but is also a "multimedia" case featuring front panel pass-throughs for audio, USB and Firewire. That, along with the SB LiveDrive, makes for a LOT of front facing connections. ;^) The rest of the system is: +) A Soyo motherboard. +) A 333 MHz Celeron (tested happily at 400Mhz with stock cooling) +) Some memory... three (pretty old) chips, I think totally 128 Meg but perhaps less. +) A black Sony CDRW (16x10x40) +) A 75 Gig IBM Deskstar 7200RPM hard drive (wiped clean) +) An OrangeMicro Ethernet/Firewire PCI combo card +) A (really old and never actually used) Adaptec Fast SCSI PCI card +) SoundBlaster Live with the LiveDrive (5 1/4" front panel) and IR remote. +) A Matrox g450 DualHead AGP video card. The system is "together" (all parts are mounted) but cables aren't connected (I have them... but I didn't put them in since I took out my good rounded cables for another box. ;^) ). It has at least one fan (a PCI slot blower) installed and several others in the "parts box". I've also got an extra (two actually) Logitech Wireless keyboard/mice kits. Have done a full "closet of crap" inventory I've also got: +) A Hauppauge WinTV PVR PCI card. +) A SanDisk USB Compact Flash reader. +) Two Matrox ATA 133 Upgrade cards. +) A two-bay, 3 1/2" external FireWire hard drive enclosure (works a treat but since that 75 Gig drive has gone to better pastures I've got nothing to fill it with). +) A Celeron 333 CPU with Slot One adapter. +) A LinkSys 5 port Ethernet Hub (missing the AC adapter.. but that may turn up). +) Two Virgin "WebPlayers". These are Linux-on-a-chip-based mini systems that can be upgraded to Windows with a laptop hard drive and some basic tools. (http://www.larwe.com/technical/webplayer_main.html) I've already done one but I got three in the lot. (And I'm looking for a cheap mini=pci 802.11b card if anybody knows of one!) If my mental constructing is correct then, with all this, you should/might have enough to build two boxes for Mike. If he's stuck on a tiny laptop then this boy needs a development server/backup machine. ;^) Lacking that need perhaps other folks in the community may have a need for some of this stuff? I'm willing to mail this stuff to people willing to give it a good home (US only, sorry... okay, maybe Canada). Lacking that it's all heading to Goodwill which almost certainly means a dumpster.
