The Deal Train (online tech deals megathread)

Community
#1

This is a thread for posting potential bargains on eBay, etc, that members of the forum find.

For instance, you might find graphics cards that are “broken” but look like they might just need some TLC to get working again. Or you might find a motherboard with bent socket pins that turn out to be redundant or repairable! Anything like that is fair game! Bids are totally fine.

Even if you don’t plan on buying or bidding on something, all the more reason to put it here and see if someone else wants to have at it!

Just a fair warning, things might be posted here that are questionable at best and duds at worst, so keep a watchful eye and don’t jump on any deals you’re not willing to risk!

I’ll start off.

Here appears to be GTX 980 that appears to be mostly functional but being sold as repair.
It’s being put to bid so watch out.

Fans spin, led powers up, display works, drivers install properly
Everything appears to work but certain games causes white screen and hangs

This is a Gigabyte B85 motherboard has one bent pin that looks like it can just be bent back. It’s now on sale for about $27 with free shipping. Someone is desperate to get rid of it. Any takers?

lol i kid i kid.

This isn’t really that great a deal, but all it needs is a new fan or at the very least a lot of airflow through the heatsink. If you can get that, this is a damn powerful little card for its size.

Huge gamble, cooler-less 290


Want some pretty nice compute power for a bit more than the going price of its consumer counterpart?

i wouldnt go with the 290 IMO. GPUs without a cooler are signs of people who water cooled it

#10

I mean… at those prices if the two there work… You can just as easily flip them and make $30-50 each…
lol.

NECS are an interesting keyboard. This one is silly cheap. Could be good maybe?
