      And when I say cheap I mean it. Around 50 ish. Nothing special, just a retro or sdr is going to be put to use on it. No monitors etc… needed.

        I’ve got another one of my son’s old PC’s to dispose of, I need to check what it consists of, but it’s in an old tower case, lots of Gigabyte stuff, probably W7. The last one I did was an old 1st gen i7.

        Don’t need anything for it, just postage.

        I’ll connect it up to our spare TV and find out what’s in it. How soon do you need it??

        Edit – it won’t have any HDD’s in it.

          Lee,

          I have a  fully working (when last powered up) Win 10 Dell Vostro 200 – Core 2 Duo E8500 3167 MHz, 4GB PC6400 Hynix, Seagate ST3250820AS 250GB – not used for 12 months out in the garage gathering dust.

          Yours for the cost of carriage ?

            I would appreciate them both. I have a few little hobby projects on the go. I have just purchased one of these as my current set up did not reach a high enough frequency.

            I bought a pc the other week for spares/repairs from cash converters for £15 and just turned out to be a screwed up windows install. Plan is that I use that for a general desktop workstation as my laptop powers it’s self down every two minutes. Mind, I have had my moneys worth out of it. The pc from CC was up for initially £169 👍

             

            Apart from SDR I am also liking a bit of retro gaming which is not hardware intensive.

             

            so please yes to bothe  if that’s ok. Just send me your bills and I’ll send what I owe back.

            cheers.

            ps, my bed time now.

              That’s a shame – just given away a decentish desktop. Got another not so good. If you need it I’ll dig out the specs. Yours for free – I’ll pay the carriage.

                Hi Lee – I just checked the son’s PC and it’s an old P4 Socket 478, Mobo is a Gigabyte GA81K1100 ( Rev 2.x ), 6 x Dimm slots, but a maximum capacity supported is 4Gb. Been up in my loft for minimum 6 years.

                Well past its’ useful time!! Shame.
