    Talking Hello, its me! the most unoriginal intro ever...

    Hello there! My name is *Drum Roll* ANAS MALAS!! (bet you didnt see that coming!)
    I am here to buy some computer mother boards, though i am not here for YOUR type of recycling (i know, i am a disgrace to this forum and all of you want to burn me before i lay eggs, but bear with me)....

    I want to buy only about 20 motherboards because i want to use them for wall decoration, i just want something that looks good and multiple colors of it.
    i could not find anything about them but here, so thats why i came here.

    but there is another issue; i live in UAE and i do not want to pay too much for shipping so if anyone knows any place here in UAE that sells motherboards in the 20 quantity that would be much appreciated. i was really interested that i saw that a pound costs 5$ tops which is about one mother board, i dont want to pay too much as i am still a student with limited budget. Thanks!

    That's a tough one. The cost of shipping will prevent most of us from being able to make that deal.
    I think you'd be better off looking for scrap computers locally. Find a computer repair shop. They might be willing to sell you twenty old boards.
    If that doesn't work, you can always ask family and friends.

    just wondering, could someone check the prices of the 20 boards including tracked shipping (What you would sell them for + how much for the tracked shipping)? my address is around Al majaz 2, sharjah, UAE
    I dont care about board quality, rarity or popularity. i just want some assorted colors (green, blue, red, black, white, even brown), no need for all colors but make sure the majority arent brown.

    I like this guy...or gal....covering all my bases there..just in case.

    Have you tried looking at eBay for your neck of the woods? Or Alibaba or a similar site that caters to the UAE and that part of the world? I'd be glad to send you 20 boards, 20lbs, or whatever you want, but the shipping requirement will eliminate a lot of US based folks.

    Oh an the not our kind of buyer? Any buyer is my kind of buyer if they got the $$ for the goods. Only color I see is green.

    Good luck, an I like your sense of humor. Oh an call off the trucks, send Mike the pennies postage due. (Sorry Mike, couldn't resist man!)
