nipster (211)
attempted to buy a CPU and motherboard combo from him at 2cpu.com
nipster was the Seller on September 21, 2002 Other/Unknown
I was going to buy a pair of processors from him at 2cpu.com. He has only a couple negative heatware evals. SO i had him ship first.I then get this PM from him
"p3 850
umm i think that i may have made another boo boo
when i packaged the thing i left the procs on the board, seemed stable enough.!!! however can u please please test the system before u send the money order, just for my piece of mind. if anything is broken, u don't have to pay anything. and sorry for the garbage and the waste of your time. 09-11-2002 12:04 AM "
Well, then i GET the board, and his packaging was absolutely SCREWED UP. He just put the BOARD in the box (with padding), NO STATIC BAG, and the PROCESSORS were NOT PACKED SEPARATELY. One of them had come loose and was rolling around on the board freely. The board and chips were both DOA. I PM'ed him and asked him what he wanted to do. This was his reply.
"Re: p3 850
well from all that i know about that board u do need the additional power plug that is on the board
top right hand corner
as for a vid card i am sure that board cannot support a gf4
now i have a Asus v8200 and i think that it worked with that
i know for sure that it did work with a gf2 gts
if u have the additional power plug in and a gf2 to test with please do
if u do not please simply throw it out. as i said it was working before it left here. i know that i forgot the packaging. totally my fault. 09-14-2002 03:30 PM
I told him I would make every attempt to test the parts separately, and DID, screwed around with it for a WEEK. Finally after I was convinced it was dead. I threw out the parts as he instructed I could do. Then a few days later he comes back and gives me a negative... an absolute troll if you ask me
