A working nvidia chipset from that era ... priceless.I have an ASUS P5N-T DELUXE motherboard I bought a few months ago for a project I wound up abandoning - it worked fine, and I updated it to the latest bios. I'd be really happy if I could get close to what I paid for it (I think it was ~$100) but I don't have a need for it any more. I don't have the I/O shield for it.
Yeah I destroyed mine trying to mod it to 771 socket. Trying to get another one....A working nvidia chipset from that era ... priceless.
$100 is more than what I'm looking to spend - sorry!I have an ASUS P5N-T DELUXE motherboard I bought a few months ago for a project I wound up abandoning - it worked fine, and I updated it to the latest bios.

Those chips are tanks... boards die...$100 is more than what I'm looking to spend - sorry!
Also, why is it that CPUs lose their value so much over a few years but motherboards hold their value relatively well? A $1000 xeon CPU goes to $30 in a decade but the motherboards from that era are still selling for $100 on ebay.
Yeah it's very true. I feel like I may be throwing money after a sunk cost. But since I already have the ram and CPU and heat sink, it will still be cheaper than building a new pc.isnt a q6600 slower than a $200 nuc?
but with 10x the power draw!
