I have decided to go away from having Home Theater PCs for all my TVs. It was fun, I liked it, but my wife and kids prefer Tivo, so now I'm back to that.
I now have a surplus of three complete HTPCs. Or, I can sell off parts from 3+ computer builds. I also have a pair of Silicondust cable card network tuners.
I'm not putting a huge effort into this unless there is some interest.
Here is a list of parts that I am selling with prices. PM me for info on each item if you are interested. I will take/send pics of requested items. All items are in excellent, like new condition. Most parts were purchased new in 2014 and have been used for approximately 1 year or less. Most items have original boxes/packaging/accessories. Prices do not include shipping, but I always strive to find cheapest shipping method and only pass on actual cost.
These parts are for the most part, all currently all in one of the 3 builds, but I will remove and sell as needed.
Or, I can sell a complete HTPC with certain combinations of the hardware below. They would be running Windows 7 with Windows Media Center customized to launch Kodi, with bluray drive, BD playback software, etc. If you are interested in something like this, PM me and I can quote you on one of the builds.
Motherboards/CPUs
*$10 discount over individual prices if you purchase CPU and motherboard combos as shown below:
*Both motherboards have modified BIOS to allow easy SLIC2.0 activation of Windows 7.
*Both combos below include integrated graphics that are more than enough for a 1080p playback HTPC (unless you want to do gaming).
MSI Z97 PC Mate (socket 1150), full ATX board, Military Class, with box/IO shield/etc. $70
Intel Pentium G3258 with unlocked multiplier. W/ box/heatsink. $40

Mushkin Enhanced Chronos 120GB SSD SATA3.0 still showing 100%% life, about 2.5TB written to it. $40
Optical Drives

2x Low Profile NMediaPC HTPC 400BA Cases (actually they are slightly different from what you see in photos). Beautiful black anodized finish, can hold full ATX board. Includes 500W power supply and IR dongle/remote and cooling fan. Will look great in a living room environment. They look like A/V equipment. $40 each

Cable Card/Network Tuner
2x SiliconDust HDHomerun Prime 3-tuner cable card tuners. Like new with box/accessories. Model HDHR3-CC $70-each.
I also have a 3rd complete HTPC that is based on an old Dell mini-tower with Athlon X2 4850e and 4GB of DDR2. It is old, but it plays back 1080p with no problem and is snappy with one of the Samsung 128gb SSDs. Inquire if interested. Price would be around $100 depending on video card etc.

Looking into it to see whats what..... Problem is most of my stuff is fairly cheap already (and can pickup from Neweggs local warehouse to save shipping costs) and has to be somewhat specific as I'm re-using some parts myself......

Well, think about it. I can send you one almost completely pre-configured...For rig details, see my profile. Nothing here anymore...

GFO, It looks like both cases are probably sold and the Mushkin will be going in one of them. I'll let you know if something changes.
FYI for all looking at these: the HTPC cases look basically like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811204014
The only difference is that mine do not have the nMedia logo on the front, there is a media card reader on the front (instead of the USB/Firewire). The USB/Firewire/Audio ports are relocated on the front left side corner.
Also, mine do not have the twin fans on the rear above the board i/o. Instead, it has cutouts for twin 120mm fans on the right side (next to the motherboard). I currently do not have fans in those locations. They would require low profile fans (less than 15mm thick). It cools just fine with the combination of power supply fan and the rear 80mm fan.

Looks like I have pending sales both HTPC cases, both MB/CPU combos, both sets of desktop DDR3, both Zalman coolers, both LG Bluray drives, all the SSDs, one of the Radeon HD5670, one of the HDHR3 tuners, and both XFX power supplies.
I am holding off on selling the Dell mini-tower because I noticed some problems with it last night that I need to sort out first.
So, basically just have one of the Cablecard 3-tuner devices (HDHR3-CC), one Radeon HD5670, and the Geforce GT635.For rig details, see my profile. Nothing here anymore... -
OK. Two complete HTPCs officially sold.
I have a few things left plus I found a few other things collecting dust that I would like to move out.
The Dell mini-tower is up and running again with a fresh install. I can configure it to be an HTPC or leave it as a clean install, or install other software if needed (just ask what I have).
So, this is what I have left:
One Silicon Dust HDHomerun Prime (3-tuner cable card #HDHR3-CC) $65
One Dell Inspiron 531 mini-tower w/ Athlon X2 4850e CPU/4GB DDR2 RAM/128GB Samsung SSD/+ a medium size HDD as secondary drive/Geforce 635 1GB-DDR3/Antec Basiq 430W PS/DVD-ROM-CDRRW drive/quiet Nexus fans. I can sell this as shown for $120 configured as needed.
4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1333MHz SODIMM (laptop memory) $20
I also have a couple Netgear WNR3500L routers running Tomato firmware that I can sell for $20. These can be configured as a router, access point, or wireless bridge using the options in Tomato. Note: they can also run DD-WRT, but I find Tomato to be more stable.
Lastly, I have a Cisco DPC-3000 DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem. It is a 4x4 modem. I used this until I recently upgraded to an 8x4 model. It was rock solid stable for over 3 years. $20.
Prices do not include shipping. I can get photos if requested.
For rig details, see my profile. Nothing here anymore... -
I also have two pairs of DDR2 memory sticks
Each pair is 2GB (2x1GB)
One pair is Wintec AMPX (800MHz) desktop DIMMs, nicer than average (heatsinks, etc) $10
The other set is laptop SODIMMs. No heatsinks. Came from a Dell D830 Laptop. Hynix I think. Probably 667MHz. $10For rig details, see my profile. Nothing here anymore...
