Hey guys, I recently discovered some old computer items boxed and as far as I know all working so...

FOR SALE:

1xVoodoo Banshee PCI Graphics Card (boxed, no drivers, but could look for them in my room if you want :))

1x64MB PC100 SD RAM

Obviously the graphics card and RAM are no good for gaming any more but if you or any one you know might want either/both to stick in a word processor or similar work horse PC then they/you can have them for ?10 each

/me crosses fingers and hopes that the small chance of selling those happens

Ok my dad seems to think that we can sell this one......but i disagree, I'm only posting it to shut him up!

1x3COM 56k v.90 VoiceFax Modem (ISA...yes ISA, just think you could frame it...) boxed with manual and drivers etc...also ?10

Well there we go...here's hoping!

i agree with your dad gray - imo, the modem is the most sellable thing there, being isa its actually an internal hardware modem, which is unheardof recently.

of course not many people have isa slots anymore.. :p

Heh, speaking on ISA, I've just finished building a PC for someone, and opened there old PC to get the HD to copy it and what not.

Apologies for not being about much lately, i.e. before the event, but my computer died horribly and I eventually had to cave and install XP :eek: to get it to work!!

The modem is still availilable so if you want it, and have an ISA slot then its yours, where do u live etc?
