So, yeah, I don't live near 99% of our community, but I'm cheap and don't want to pay what I'm finding online just to build two older systems that are absolutely capable of medium gfx gaming and web surfing.
Have a closet full of older parts?
I'm searching for two motherboards for less than $40 each.
Socket 939 (Opteron / Athlon 64 )
Must be working.
Need SLI capable. (2x PCI-e x8 minimum)
SLI bridge would be nice, but I can search for those elsewhere.
I/O back plate would be nice, but not required.
Would prefer Nvidia Nforce4 chipset (Willing to research others, no SiS please)
Integrated LAN port a must. Gigabit a plus.
Two Sata ports minimum.
4 memory slots minimum.
I like Asus, ASRock, Gigabyte. Other brands could be researched but I trust those.
Thanks for searching your parts attic/closet/bins/drawers and letting me help clean them out.
Now, don't waste your and my time explaining I can get cheap barebones systems that are modern and 10x times faster for what I'm willing to pay for two S939 motherboards..
I know that. I have the CPUs/drives/memory and other parts I'm trying to clean out of my closet.. I'm just missing two motherboards. (One mb died, another CPU was inherited)
I figure if I can sell two systems for a couple hundred using the MBs I've obtained, then I can build out a super duper barebones system for my wife.
(and actually, one of the CPUs would be a major performance upgrade towards what she has now)
