Hello
I am Buying vintage CPUs for my collection.
I'm in search for Large Ceramic Mainframe processors.(IBM, NEC, Hitachi, Amdahal)
They come in different colors(white or purple) different size etc.
Please contact me, If you have one that looks somehow like this.
I'm offering good $$$ for "bigger than normal" (size matters xD)

What is the era of these server processors???
GREAT TO SEE a NEW buyer.......IS there a price for these
The years of this cpus are 1990-2003
The price depend on the item actually but usually they go from 100$ to 450$ and more...
Wow wish I had saved the ones I had.........I just sent them in for scrap.........Oh well live and learn
I bet olddude was using them as coasters a couple years ago with all the servers he was getting ;)
I have a few Sun server ones. I have quite a few ceramics, quite a few gold tops
i have been trying to collect these and so many others for years but hard to find, some manly cause of course i want them for say $10 lol but thanks for offering to buy and glad to have another person on board
The big ones are from CRAY?
usually CPUs were made my IBM, Hitachi, Fujitsu, etc. but i guess CRAY used them if they made supercomputers.Quote:

I don't have the CPU's anymore, but here is what the board and RAM bank from an old IBM server looks like.

Im still looking for them. Please contact me if you do have anything like that.
Any new items maybe?
I believe part of the forum rules is to put up a buyers thread you are first required to become a paid member (Scrap Room Member).
By the way HiTechMike made a post a while back and you didn't comment. It would be nice of you to mention if the items he posted photos are something you might be interested in. 73, Mike
To miked.
I am a payed member...
I didn't comment on HiTechMike comment because there was no question...
I was interested in that board.
That's why I've have contacted HiTechMike via Private message and asked some questions about it.
But im mainly in to CPUS-TCMs...
Hope this information was helpful miked.
I do want to share some Pictures of my Collection hope you will like it.

I think you should ask the admin for the banner "Scrap Room Member" added.
Take a look at my "SMF Bages of Honor" you will see "Scrap Room Member" which indicates I am a paid member. 73, Mike
Maybe someone found some cool big TCMs and ready to sell it for a big pile of cash?
anyone?
apa4: I've been at e-waste for 5+ years, I've never seen one in person. They seem to be pretty hard to come across. I'm sure if someone finds one- you would be their guy, heck I wish I had a small pile of these to sell to ya!Quote:

These are very hard to come across. Ive taken apart many computers and servers and still havent come across any that I thought could be one of these. I do have some old powerPC cpus our of some dual cpu macs, but I think those are newer than you are looking for. But rest assured Ill keep my eye out.Quote:
