Miscellaneous Items

Last Change: 13/Sep/2008

• AthlonXP PC (images available on request):

  ASUS A7N8X Motherboard
  AthlonXP 3000+ (SocketA), oc'd to 2.4GHz (new Thermaltake cooler/fan!)
  512MB RAM (one DDR400 module; max RAM is 3GB)
  80GB Disk (currently has XP-Pro SP2 installed)
  Radeon 9250 AGP 8X graphics
  40X CDROM
  Keyboard, mouse and power cable.
  Motherboard has has a new CMOS battery for maximum life.
  Free VGA cable if required.
  
  125 UKP + shipping
  

  Ideal as a general system, and the CPU easily outperforms a stock 3200+ Barton. I think the CPU might be a mobile variant though, as it only has 64K L2 (even though the sticker on the CPU does say AthlonXP), but it still does very well in tests, probably because of the higher clock speed compared to a standard Barton - the CPU is attached via Artic Silver 5 for maximum cooling efficiency.

  The case is that of a Viglen CX1 Workstation (so plenty of room for expansion), which was originally a dual-PIII/800 system used by my brother for his academic studies, then later upgraded to the ASUS motherboard, etc. I still have the dual-PIII board aswell if required.

  Note that this system will run a modern AGP gfx card just fine, eg. I used it for a while with an X1950 Pro AGP, and thus it should also work ok with the newer HD2600 AGP. Extra RAM is available cheaply on eBay.

• 8-port 10/100 Mercury FastEthernet Switch and PSU: 10 UKP. This was my main local network switch for a while, but I've just upgraded to a Gbit unit, so it's surplus to requirements.

• LinkSys 8-port 10/100/1000 Gbit Ethernet Switch and PSU: 30 UKP. Three available!

• Alias StudioPaint3D original box, still sealed, never used: 125 UKP (extra image)

• Alias Maya V4.0 original document set: 50 UKP

• Alias V6 Box Set: 75 UKP (complete with original manuals, CDs, demo video tape and wall chart showing the menu structure heirarchy; NOTE: all licensing issues are the buyer's responsibility)

• 850nm Serial HIPPI Card for SGI 1200: 25 UKP (PN 00-1122)
• Heavy-duty security chassis enclosure for O2 systems: 25 UKP. This is a custom-made case which was probably very expensive when new. I don't have the keys for the locks, but they can just be replaced. I'll include a picture soon.

• FORE Systems 25MBit ATM PCI card, suitable for Octane, etc.: 25 UKP

• AUI/RJ45 10BaseT Ethernet Transceiver, suitable for IRIS Indigo, Onyx, etc.: 10 UKP (never used, still in wrapping!)

• 10 x Jack Nicklaus sequentially-numbered Royal Bank of Scotland Five Pound bank notes, with presentation packs and envelopes (commemorative issue): 150 UKP (I did have 20, sold 10 already. Here's a picture, and another showing how the notes fit into the presentation packs. One guy in the USA, a Mr. Kent Bell, framed the two notes he bought from me, along with the stamps I used to post them! 8) I pack these notes extremely well so that they cannot be damaged in transit, as shown by these images: 1, 2, 3, 4)
