Anyone want some P2B mobo's ?

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.asus (More info?)

Anyone here interested in a small lot (8) of rev 1.10 P2B mobos ? I've
seen them go for some (too much?) money on Ebay... but I'd rather
sell them to someone out here who'd be interested in having fun with
them.

[Optional stuff: They are currently in some very nice Mitek mid tower
cases, like new condition with other similar vintage components
available 32x CD-ROMs, 4 or 6bg IDE, SMC net cards, ATI AGP @ Play]

The entire lot of stuff is available for a song.

If any of the regulars around here have a use for them, drop me an
email at uctraing@ultranet.com. I have to clear these out of my
storage fairly quickly, so don't wait if you want them.

Thanks Paul. I've tried the local sell... no one seems interested.
Since shipping the systems is prohibitive, I thought I might just part
them out, as noted. These are only Cel333's and I've stripped the
memory down to around 32mb each so they'd need some upgrading for a
school or such. I'v put 1+g and 384mb into some and I use them here
but tinkering with these is not for everyone.

I might chase down that school alternative. That might pan out. I'll
also check out the link owner.

Thanks,
