FS: Mobo, ram, P3 1.26S and hsf
Since I put my P4 2.6 into service in my farm I no longer have room for this setup, so I need to sell it to finance a new psu(or 2 
). This combo was working great when I took it out of service a couple of weeks ago.
The mobo is a Gigabyte GA-6OXET i815 chipset(Tualatin capaple) mobo and is arguably the best socket 370 mobo ever produced. It has PLL circuitry built in so that you can run extremely high fsb speeds without running the pci and agp busses far out of spec. It also has a Creative sound chip onboard (CT 5880), so the onboard sound is pretty decent. The mobo has overclocking adjustments in 1 MHz increments up to 200 fsb(if I remember right) and vcore adjustments to 1.825v with Tualatin procs.
The proc is a P3 1.26-S server proc, which has 512k L2 cache and is also dual capable. The stepping is SL5LW and the week of manufacture is 01/38. I've had it as high as 1700 MHz when watercooled with a 120 watt peltier element and I was running it at around 1500 MHz on air with total stability and reliability.
The ram is 2-256 MB sticks of Crucial PC133 Cas 2 and is good for around 155 fsb at Cas 2. The mobo also has the ability to run the memory asynchronously with the fsb in case you want to experiment with very high fsb speeds.
The heatsink is a Kanie Hedgehog, which was one of the very first all copper heatsinks on the market. It is very similar to the Alpha 6035 in looks and setup. It has a 27 cfm Sunon fan on it, which is fairly quiet. The proc usually runs around 35-38 C while folding with this hsf at 1500 MHz.
I'm asking $135 delivered USPS in the contigious 48 states for this whole setup and I don't plan to break it up to sell the parts individually. This is a great deal; I looked the ram up at Crucial the other day and it's selling for $90 per stick now and the cheapest price for the proc on pricewatch is $157 delivered. These Gigabyte boards are very rare and almost impossible to find now also. It seems like when Gigabyte screws up and builds a great mobo they quit manufacturing them shortly thereafter. 
Here are some pics of the whole setup; the black thing around the socket is neoprene foam that was needed when I was pelt cooling it as the loaded temps when it was under the pelt at 1700 MHz were around -3 to -8 C and idle temps were lower than -20 C and ice/condensation would have formed around the whole socket area without the neoprene. Also, the socket/cpu has had a wire trick done on it to raise the default vcore for more reliable booting from a cold boot; that's why I'm not removing the cpu from the mobo for shipping it.

Prime, it is one sweet board and proc, I hate to sell it. It's all because of you that I retired it from my farm as the P4 that replaced it puts out double the points. For a P3 it isn't bad though, about 350-400 points per week in folding production. It will more than hold it's own against an AMD in the same speed range that is using sdram.
A couple things I forgot to mention in my first post. Both the heatsink and the proc IHS have been lapped flat for better contact. The damn IHS was kind of concave shaped, but a little lapping on glass fixed that up. The Hedgehog was also fairly rough but I fixed that up too.
The irony of it all; help get beaten with my own equipment.
Hehe, one for some strange reason wouldnt advance and I dont know how but I couldnt see it across the network anymore. Erased the FAH folder and renamed the Workgroup and its folding Gromacs now as it was has been doing tinkers now since I messed up the clock.
And oh you just wait. Hopefully by Lan time I will another trick up my sleeve.:);)
sold...
sorry, i really thought he would want it, but he hasn't decided so f* him
Now I can afford to get 2 decent psu's to replace the 2 duds I have, which are holding my overclocks back, and maybe get an SLK for the P4 2.6 too.
In all seriousness, I'm scared of the psu on my NF7 rig, the 12v rail is at 11.31v and now the 3.3 rail is sagging too, down to 3.14v. I'm afraid that it's going to cook something soon if I don't replace it. My Epox rig is presently running at 2300 MHz on a 250 watt psu and the 12v rail is starting to sag also.
I was going to post this deal at Icrontic the next day, but wanted my team mates first shot at it so the box would stay folding for Team 93.
Leo, you are right about that. If prime starts consistenly outproducing me I imagine that there will be another upgrade in the future.
I found and ordered a refurb Fortron Source 460 watt psu at Newegg for $49, as well as a 350 watt Enlight and I also ordered a SLK947U for the P4 2.6 so I won't worry so much about cooling it. It's presently using the stock retail hsf which isn't bad but temps run a little too high for my comfort with it.
