Buying used hardware: boards, CPUs, fan assemblies
« on: August 30, 2025, 01:12:03 pm »
Hello!

This is what it says on the tin, please let me know if you're looking to sell your used, preferably working hardware.

I have some ppc64le projects underway and while I've been able to source some boards and CPUs from this forum earlier, plus purchased a new Blackbird from RaptorCS, I'm still looking for more hardware.

I'm specifically looking for 8-core (plus) CPUs and Blackbird boards, but I'm interested in anything you might have: CPUs regardless of core count, boards (Talos II or Blackbird), fan assemblies (IBM or otherwise), and so on. Even full workstations or servers. Non-working hardware might be good too depending on what's wrong with it.

If interested, PM or email me (see https://lnikki.la for contact details) with what you have, where you're located, and what you'd like for your wares. I'm able to arrange international shipping for you, plus payment via SEPA transfer (EU) or PayPal (international).

Is there a time limit on this? Because depending on if the Power11 stuff comes out and if I manage to finally save up the last little bit before then, if it's cheap enough I'll have an 02CY231 to sell that I never quite managed to save up enough for a motherboard for. Wouldn't expect much from it if it ends up being available since I've never been able to test it, but I've been as careful with it as possible so it shouldn't be in any worse shape than when I bought it.

@lnikkila: Where are you located?
If I sell my Blackbird, it will only be the entire box. However, only quad-core.
