    You tried contacting AMD? Maybe they have some old stock sitting doing nothing

    Maybe worth an ask.

    I'm after whatever at the moment really...

    Haven't tried AMD, but I'm sure they'd prolly dispose of them rather than keep them in a warehouse somewhere

    Ok, drop me a PM with your address (I deleted the other one, sorry!) and a hint as to what you're doing with then and I'll try to get these 2 sent off before I go away.

    Okidoki, I'll have a look around at home. I don't think there will be anything of interest in the office as the old hardware has been got rid of but there may be a couple of old Xeon's floating around. I can't remember off the top of my head what the package size is for them but I'll check if I find any.

    PPC 603e, it's soldered on to the motherboard i.e. non removable.

    Just thought I'd do a quick update for all you that are intriegued about what I'm up to.



    Doing quite well at the moment... hopefully will pick up another 31 tonight on ebay.

    Ideas for designs are welcome too, I'm sorta holding off until I know what quantities of colours I'm playing with.

    What would also be awesome would be something really funky to go in the middle... keep an ear out for any damaged Phenoms or anything exciting!

    TAKTAK has missed the point that I'm looking for AMD... Intel will be a last resort...

    And I already have some cyrix chips... have added the 2nd one to my watch list tho, thanks.

    Meaning that if people want to give me INTEL for free... then I'll take it

    but I'm not spending my hard earned cash on them. Sorry for being vague
