Please note that this is an automatic translation. In case of any discrepancies between the original and this translated version, the original version shall prevail.

A batch of manufacturer-refurbished motherboards originally acquired from an importer’s bankruptcy estate. So all of them were factory tested for functionality before being bagged, and having sold some individually earlier, their performance has been very close to brand-new boards; the few with issues have almost without exception been due to a CPU being too new for the BIOS version. A couple of years ago I removed all boards with capacitor faults to scrap, but in the meantime a few new bulges may of course have appeared, so a pessimist might estimate that only 128 units are truly mint, to avoid disappointment.

Sockets include AM2/AM3 and LGA775, plus some Socket 754 and 939 boards. Fairly useful for a repair shop in situations where, for example, an old car-repair or CNC control setup from years ago has stopped working, and you cannot risk fitting a newer chipset because of possible operating system upgrade issues. At that point it does not matter if the saving motherboard costs as much as a good new one.

The boards are in anti-static bags straight from the manufacturer, with nothing else included besides the motherboard itself. So no rear I/O shield or any other extras, which means they are probably best used as replacements for the same kind of failed board. It is worth getting a handful of CR2032 batteries ready, because these batteries are certainly all long dead by now. JYSK, if I recall correctly, sells 8 for under two euros. :)

Some include brackets and drivers too, and there are also some deluxe end-user models and other a little more interesting models included. There are dozens of different models, and both mATX-sized and full-size boards are evenly represented. Stored dry and warm at all times.

Margin taxation.

Collection only (or, well, I can of course prepare them on a pallet as well if collected using the buyer’s own freight contract). They fit in most estate cars in one go if the rear seats can be folded down. No collection fee!
