ECS 785 something, cant remember the exact name. Bought this board for secondary PC. Looking forward to testing it.
Haven't gotten in too many boards lately, but I can test my "new" Compaq D510 Evo...
Maybe the ABit BX6 I need to put in new capacitors on that one though > |

Damn! How do you get all these boards to test? Do you work at a computer store, or just have that many boards break on you? |

Good question ...
the answer is.... they just accumulate over time I buy them sometimes very cheaply or I get them for free (dumpsters/friends)....
In other news, I've retested the 760GM-GS3 from Asrock and it seems that inpout64 is still a bit buggy, with io.dll on windows XP it seems to work somewhat... |

Trash is a good way to get boards cheap. It's amazing what some places throw away... and in that vein, if you have a local Saint Vincent DePaul in your town (it's a Catholic charity thrift store like the Salvation Army), they tend to have ultra cheap PCs. In fact, the one I knew in Arizona tossed anything TOO old in the trash, even if it was still good. I made friends with one of the workers and got things even more cheap or for free if they were just going to toss it. The price was often just a token charge: for example, I got an Apple IIc+ with an external 5.25" floppy and extra external 3.25" floppy, the Apple B&W monitor, and the Apple Color monitor, all for $5. They were going to throw it all away, so I got it for a token fee. I also got an SX64 for $5 from them (that's the "portable" C64). |

Place here in Dallas TX (metrocrest non profit christian based) threw away ALL dontated PC,s fully working or not and all printers routers. They considered it scrap and we had a scrap metal guy come buy once a week to pick it up and he simply sold it for scrap metal or to get th e popper get the copper out They did not want to be responsible for things not functioning even though I volunteered there for 4 years and worked for DELL for 2 years doing tech support. I can tell you how many CRT monitors I threw away when flat panel LCD screens really took off. Some of it Didnt make it into the trash but made it into my car |

That was my feeling at the time. They were just going to throw it away. They tossed more than a dozen Apple IIgs' complete with all the accessories. With PCs, they tossed anything that wasn't at least a P2 regardless of the condition. In case you're wondering, they kept their trash bins padlocked to keep people from stealing from them... which is bizarre seeing as they threw it out!
I got monitors, o-scopes, voltage regulators, C64s, P1s, and on and on, all for almost nothing because they weren't going to keep them as the average person stopping in at a thrift store isn't looking for those things. If I had been running a store, I'd have tried to negotiate a bulk deal to take most of their "trash" and resell it. If they had a SVDP here where I live now, I'd be doing that right this moment.
