PC - Parts wanted.

[Big Dog]

As some of you may or may not know I often rebuild, repair or refurbish pc's for those less fortunate.

Can anyone who has recently upgraded supply a monitor a DVD ROM or both?

(any other out of service parts considered as they may be useful in future projects)

If neccessary will trade tech support in return if condition justifies.

Any donations of these parts would make a lesser abled persons year.

Hey I have a fair few bits here you can take.

Got a 17" Monitor (although its temporamental about what gfx card it will run on)

Got a Cannon S200SP colour printer you can have

Got a collection of network cards, dial up modems etc you can have as well

Send me a PM if you are interested and seeing your in the neighbourhood you can come and rummage around and take what you need

If any of you have 256 RAM thingee's I am after 1 or two of them...
I have a older comp..... so you will know which type I am after...

err.... no... we wouldn't... 256 ram is umm... a VERY basic starting point.

Big Dog, what sort of specs are you after? ie, will probably get rid of a pentium 1 full package (screen etc) at some point, still works... or do you want pentium 3 + or something?

[Madmax]

I have a ram drive if you want it plus some other stuff
but you will have to hunt for it

[crashe]

err.... no... we wouldn't... 256 ram is umm... a VERY basic starting point.

Ok cut and paste here......

Here is a few bits of info from PM's to emails that will help you know what I am after. Have 80 gigabytes hard drive, running Windows 2000 with a CD rom.

"have managed to find a manual for your motherboard and checked the ram specs against the offerings on the QMB website. The type you need is;
256M PC-133 double sided RAM.
One stick would be sufficient, but if you can get two, Windows 2000 would really fly."

I have in it at the moment:
128 RAM stick and 2 x 64 RAM sticks = Total 256 RAM.
It can take 2 more 128 RAM sticks to replace the 2 x 64 RAM.
I have 3 slots all up.

Numbers etc on the RAM in my comp at the moment:
I hope all this makes sense.

128 RAM:
Korea 0248
RM285180TA-13AC
128MB.Sync 133MHZ CL3
Wriiten on the black parts: RC 285080TAO-13AC
0248

64 RAM:
Written on black bits:
HY57V658020A
TC-105
9846 B Korea

64 RAM:
NCP
NP335886400K-8
0020
Yellow sticker ADLAS


desperately looking for RAMs of Memory sticks - either 3 x 256 or 3 x 128's or as much as I can get.

by rights any PC-133 ram should work.

Crashe - I will have a look at work for some Ram for you, can't guarantee anything

Big Dog - Likewise my office is slowly throwing out old systems as the new draughting package we have purchased requires some major upgrades so will be quite a few bits and maybe some complete systems laying around

For example a few months back my office threw away 10x 19" CRT's, I rescued them and gave them to people I knew, in future I'm quite happy to pass it all to you as long as it gets used for non-profit work

i have some sd-ram (PC133) sitting here - have no idea what it is, maybe some 128mbs and a couple of 64mb..... you are welcome to them gratis ....

[tide]

BigDog will keep you in mind when work throws out its next load of "junk"... It's not all usable but there is generally some scraps that are savalgable...

If you have a complete going system - any spec but going well then I have the less fortunate kids who need them for school.
At the moment I have 2 families on informal wait lists.

Big Dog - let me know your next in tga, or have someone coming down this way that can pick some stuff up.

I have one complete unit (pc and screen in one) and most likey another 1 or 2 x (early) pentium 3(400mhz ish) machines.(boxes only)

You could see who needs one down there, post a notice in the local school perhaps. I'm sure there are always students at any highschool taking computers that cannot afford one to do homework on, not just Auckland.
I use it strictly as a practice, not as a hobby business or anything.

oh mate, shoulda posted this a couple of weeks ago, I had a 17" CRT that was old but still good. ended up taking the case off and blowing up the capaictors, sorry mate.

got a 56k modem if your interested!?

[Big Dog]

This current machine has so many problems.
I tried transplanting it to a case with fewer problems and now I need to know if anyone has a 95 install disk I can borrow or a spare copy of 98se they can donate.
