He's the guy who bought it from me. He marked it up in an attempt to not take a loss on it -- I sold it to him for ~$60 shipped. He's asking $60 + shipping.

Cheeky. Saw you're post on that actually and didn't know its the same one.

Hall Effect 'board in crap condition/overpriced, but I love the function keys with the circled numbers:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Early-Micro-Swi ... 1529511220

Is there a modern keycap set with those circled function keys?

This one is either reed switch or foam/foil:

Edit: looks more like reed switch based on the "Micro Switch" branding of the numpad.

Both nice, pisses me off that so many of those so often come without their case.

Not the usual kind of great deal but still pretty great.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/SAMSUNG-PM853T- ... SwKfVXFWNc

They're rated for 500 TB write endurance.

Blaise170 · 19 Apr 2016, 23:17

Not a good deal. You can get a brand new 1TB Mushkin for $200 new right now. Mushkin makes very high quality flash storage and memory.

ohaimark · 20 Apr 2016, 01:54

Where are you getting your facts, man?

Samsung's flash drives are superior to Mushkin's in every conceivable way, not to mention the fact that those data center drives have a ton of overhead to spread out write wear. Not all of Mushkin's products are bad, but I've seen consistently poor performance and reliability from them in the past.

This benchmark site places the Mushkin in 272nd place:

And the Samsung in 62nd, though there is only one result for the drive:
http://ssd.userbenchmark.com/SpeedTest/ ... HMHP-00005

Blaise170 · 20 Apr 2016, 04:13

You can also get 4 or 5 other SSDs around the 1TB mark for nearly the same price. Samsung has good drives, but these are used and any potential warranty is probably gone.

You really can't. Cheapest 1TB SSDs on the market right now sit at the $200 mark. On the off chance that you're talking about getting a bunch of smaller SSDs and running them in JBOD or RAID 0, it still doesn't check out, because price per gigabyte universally goes up as total capacity goes down. And if you mean used drives... same issue you take with this used drive.

gogusrl · 20 Apr 2016, 07:35

Guys we're talking enterprise hardware vs cheapest consumer hardware. On newegg the 480 gb version is 250$.

also, Mushkin, really ?

itzmeluigi · 20 Apr 2016, 07:43

Haha an excellent price

Redmaus · 20 Apr 2016, 08:00

NIB

Damn he should just leave it to auction and let the bids rise. Some really bidding war potential right there.

itzmeluigi · 20 Apr 2016, 08:19

Right, and it says "made in Korea", which automatically makes it worth more money.

Redmaus · 20 Apr 2016, 08:32

I didn't notice that the Korean collectors are going to get in a frenzy over this one

$480.65.

Khers · 20 Apr 2016, 09:31

Haha, maybe it's time to sell mine

Redmaus · 20 Apr 2016, 09:37

Hahahah omg HOW

This is hard to believe, even CC lmao I wouldn't pay more than 50$ for a single keycap unless it was made of solid gold

alh84001 · 20 Apr 2016, 09:38

I have to echo Redmaus on this: thank god I'm staying away from all this keycap madness.

gogusrl · 20 Apr 2016, 09:47

What bugs me is that they're ugly as #$%#. I mean there's some brocaps that look pretty good but ones like this I wouldn't use for free.

Chyros · 20 Apr 2016, 09:47

Damn, I can already see the unenviable fate of that Leading Edge. Someone is going to buy it, strip the switches out and discard the carcass like some rhino getting killed off for its horn. And it's a NIB rhino too D; .

Redmaus · 20 Apr 2016, 09:49

But such a nice NIB clicky blue horn...

Also the only cap I might like are some KWK ones for BS but that's like it. I kind of like the CC design but it is definitely overrated.

Just saw this thing end http://ebay.de/itm/172162855268

Anyone know which kind of board it was? Seller says it's 'clicky like older Cherry or IBM boards' in the description

Cherry board. Scooped F and J, the shape of the modifiers and the location of the LED windows

Its gone. I think that's an NCR G80-0. Don't know the remaining number though.

Kinda seems like the NCR G80-0528, although what does give me doubts is the shape of the case, missing branding in the top left corner (ok, kinda stupid since the measurements seem about right) as well as it only having F-keys on the far left side rather than the additional keys

seebart · 20 Apr 2016, 14:39

It is an NCR, forgot the exact model right now, we had that here before (in much better shape). Too bad about the missing label. I bet it uses black MX's.
