4 x Opteron 6166HE cpu's on Ebay Got a good price and they came from USA in only a few days. Was a project I was thinking about to build a 48-core folding rig. Only when cpu's had come did I realise the total cost - mobo (£650), ram (£300), case (£150), PSU (£200), Os (£450)  at which point I promptly sold them on on eBay. Made £150 profit though which should pay the import duty (I hope!)

500GB Seagate SATA HDD
I know it's old tech for you, Martin, but for me it's easily the largest and fastest HDD I've had

It's fabulous - I have sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much space. It did, however, confirm that I do have a crap CPU in the sh*ttiest motherboard in the world; so crap in fact that ASRock were forced to stop selling it as Vista-suitable. It won't boot from SATA.

The nephew had a similar toy camera if not that model - it's easier to use a real compact

That would have been cooler if it was just the logo cut out without the oval surround.

I've seen just that on American sites, but the oval sets off the symbol nicely, especially with a dark drink. Also, my room's always warm, so the thicker the ice the better!
