Review for user bdsmjam from hcarlson3

  Bought what was supposeably a 933 mhz P3, Alpha PAL 6035 HS, abit se6 mobo and 256 megs ram.

  hcarlson3 was the Seller on March 1, 2002 AnandTech

  First off, he shipped the combo with the HS/Fan still attached! It was an Alpha PAL 6035 and when I received the package, the HS/Fan was unattached and probably caused some type of damage to the CPU/motherboard. Secondly, the CPU was not a 933, it was an 866. In the BIOS, he OC'ed it to 933 by switching the multiplier (this is an engineering sample, thus being unlocked). Lastly, he did not clean off the CPU, HS/Fan, or shim at all. All 3 had Arctic Silver all over them and the HS had all kinda of dust and dirt in it. It took me 30 minutes just to clean these off. The only things I were pleased with was that he package it securely (even though he left the HS/Fan still on) and he shipped it when he said he would. I would watch out and ask for pictures before you buy anything like this from him. He is going to give me negative feedback because I am leaving him negative feedback, but I mailed a MO via PRIORITY, so he was at fault on this deal. Hope you guys have better luck.
