Well, after many years I’ve decided to sell all my old computer equipment in order to fund another computer build. I have all the following for sale (most expensive items at the top):


Hercules ATI All In Wonder 8500DV AGP Graphics Card - £75 (was £200 new)

In fully working order and boxed with original manuals, CDs and the relevant video adapters, cables, remote control etc. Getting on a little bit now but still a great card for any kind of video capture work (has a built in TV tuner and can capture from pretty much any video source – TV, camcorder, VCR etc) and isn’t too bad at playing games either. Link for lots more product info here:

One word of warning though. Although it does have a working DVI output there is a fault in all ATI All In Wonder 8500DV cards that may result in noise or interference being displayed on screen if you hook this up to an LCD monitor. The output to TV screen or regular CRT monitor is flawless however.


Asus A7V Motherboard + AMD Athlon 1GHz CPU + Heatsink + Fan + 512MB PC133 RAM (all assembled) - £50

This has been yanked out of the Coolermaster case on sale below. It is all assembled and has been working perfectly for many years. It is a bit dusty but still works fine although the chip fans make a fair bit of racket (they may need replaced soon). Comes in the motherboard’s original box with manuals and CDs. The relevant cables and screws are also included.


Coolermaster Beige Midi Tower Case + 350W PSU + 1.44MB Floppy Drive (all assembled) - £30

Easy to access (you can unscrew it by hand), unmodified Coolermaster case that use to easily accommodate an ATX motherboard, a CD-RW drive, a DVD-ROM drive and two hard discs. The PSU has been replaced within in the last year and so is relatively new although the case is getting on a bit. Still looks okay though.


Matrox 40GB IDE Hard Disc - £25 NOW SOLD!

A perfectly working hard disc that will be newly formatted before being sold.


Samsung 30GB IDE Hard Disc - £20 NOW SOLD!

Another perfectly working hard disc that will be newly formatted before being sold.


Hitachi Internal DVD-ROM Drive – £15 NOW SOLD!

Hardware region-free internal DVD-ROM drive. Not the fastest but plays back DVDs and CD-ROMs just fine.


Matrox Millenium II AGP Graphic Card - £15

Very old school and hasn’t been used for some time but it should still be working. No box, manuals or even drivers (although they can still be downloaded from Matrox’s web site – but drivers for this card come built in with most Windows installations now anyway). This card only has about 8MB of RAM on it (if I recall correctly) so it isn’t going to be any use from playing today’s games but it would be ideal for a computer you intend to use as a server or just for general day to day 2D work.

2 x Generic 10/100Mbps PCI Network Cards - £5 each (or £10 for both)

Both cards should work fine but no box, manuals or drivers I’m afraid. But it is a generic make so it should not have difficulties working with modern Windows installations by just by plugging it in. The chipsets are clearly marked so you should be able to hunt down the drivers for them if you really need to.


Generic 56K PCI Speakerphone Modem - £FREE NOW SOLD!

This is one of these evil “soft modems” that the drivers are near impossible to find for. Anyone is welcome to this one. No box, manual or drivers and I have no idea if it still works.


Diamond Monster 3D II PCI Graphic Accelerator Card - £FREE NOW SOLD!

No box, no manuals, no drivers. This is free to anyone who wants to attempt to use it! I don’t know if it works anymore and I have no idea why you would want to use it in this day an age. It was originally paired with the Matrox Millenium (see above) to allow it to play the more 3D intensive games – way back in 1998! Diamond multimedia have since been bought over by another company so good luck trying to get drivers for this card. I think it would be near impossible.


All the above is available on a first come, first served basis. I will accept cash payment or payment by PayPal only. I will not post any of these items and so there is no additional postage cost to pay if you want to buy them but you must be prepared to pick them up from my place of residence which is in the city centre on King Street. There is no official guarantees on any of the kit above but if I have said it is working and it doesn’t work then I’ll happily refund anyone. Assuming you didn’t break it!

If this stuff doesn’t get sold by the end of this month then I’ll probably auction off what is left on eBay (the free stuff will get binned). So if you want any of it then get in touch quick via e-mail or PM.

Whats the speeds of the Hard drives?

any pics of the case, and I may be intreasted in the hard drive 40GB

Urgh, I have no idea I'm afraid.

If I had to make an educated guess I would say they are both probably running at 5400RPM.

Afraid, not. I'm selling everything separately as above.

Everyone please contact me privately if you want to genuinely buy any of this kit - via e-mail or PM. I will not accept someone's forum post as an offer. I'll update my first post if anything gets sold.

Two items already sold tonight with a third looking very likely. If you want any of the stuff that is left then get in touch soon!
