WTB: Any 2-4 year computer equipment you have

Jim - exactly, why get DDR SDRAM memory modules and current socket sets when its not nessecary - I was trying to build the components for $150 or less, since I have a few cases and now a few PSU's. But for my personal computer I didnt skim....
Athlon 3400+ (1mb L2 cache_
MSI K8N-Neo2 Platinum Pro (Nforce-4 350 chipset)
TDK Dual Layer DVD-RW
Samsung CD-RW/DVD-ROM
2 x Western Digial 36GB 10k RPM (RAID 0)
BRAND NEW Geforce6800 BFG OC (Factory overcloked GPU - going to get a silencer and tweak it up even more
1GB Muskin PC3200 (TRUE 2-2-2 CAS timing)I don't know exactly how much I've spent on it. But ask flowcus, the thing is amazingly fast and I love it to bits and pieces
anyways like I said, I'm mostly in dire need of used Cisco router/switches and a KVM switch, if you have cheap cpu's/boards that are relatively new (2-4 years) I want them. I know what I'm doing with this stuff, been doing it for years so please if you have them post them please. If I don't hear anything by tommorow from you guys I will just newegg it up like I always do......

You don't have to use DDR SDRAM you can look for motherboards that still use PC 133, lots of them super cheap out there.
Anyway, I'm sure you know what your doing, just if it were me, I'd just spend the little extra thats all...
Don't worry i wasn't frontin on your 1337 h4x0r knowledge... you and i both know what can go in a pimp comptuer haha

damn it all, my post never made it.In summary, I've never heard of Navision but I use Great Plains which requires MSSQL and I run it on Windows Server 2003 which is the first MS server I've gained trust in.
For a simple cheap KVM that works good try:
http://www.mwave.com/mwave/viewspec.hmx?scriteria=1158330Navision is from MBS - the same great company that brings you Great Plains
- Great Plains tends to be the most popular - however Navision has a lot of certain strongpoints that seem to work out for a few of the companies. I don't deal MBS products, nor sell them, partners do and I am not a partner, so the reasons why he went to navision I don't know but the fact is that like Great Plains it also runs on SQL, as does his CRM solution which also needs SQL.EDIT: Thanks for the tip from mwave on the kvm switch; mwave is an excellent reseller and I ordered that kvm switch, looked exactly what I needed especially with the LED display.

1337 h4x0r LOL I haven't heard that one forever
I once was in WI and saw a license plate that sayd 1337 and I yelled out " 'Leet " (pronounced L-ee-t) everyone kind of looked at me funny - guess no one can't be pimp like us eh Jim?

im still waiting to hear about that switch. the guy who owns it goes to school in NY, so he would have to ship it here. its been used in many many lan parties and works great. im guessing he'll probably want around 200 for it. just a guess though.I will take it, do you accept paypal or how do you want to do the transfer?

well jim, to give you an idea about how old equipment works for networking...
a couple of my friends use a 386 for their firewall. at my place, we have an athlon 1ghz running at 750 because of faulty (or mislabeled) ram; this computer records television, serves videos and music to the mini-pc that runs freevo, not to mention plays fileserver for the rest of the network. it runs with an asus a7m266 motherboard (top'o the line when i bought it) and could probably be a pretty nasty beast with a faster processor and 1gb of ddr -

Lot less bandwidth loss then compared to an el cheapo linksys router/switch.

i have a box full of parts from a couple 486's i took apart. a bunch of ram, a couple heat sinks, a couple power supplies, a combination 3 1/2" / 5 1/4" drive. a dual speed cd rom drive, and i think an actual 486 processor along with some other junk. lemme know if you want any of it. its just sitting in my closet.

I have a ABIT NF7-M mobo, no proc, no ram and it seems to have a faulty floppy controller. This is an AMD board, nForce2 chipset, and was running a 2700+. Interested?

never noticed a BW loss from them. Some linksys routers are running linux BTW. -
