Dead parts wanted for photos

[jasmb570]

Hi everyone.

I have an unusual request.

I am doing a series of photo projects based around electronics.

I have done one series photographing "tubes or valves" depending on where you went to school. "http://www.shoot.co.nz/Tubes/index.html"

I want to do a second one on CPUs and or bare silicon, and have found a good source of those on eBay.

The third series I want to do is vintage/interesting motherboards and or computer cards, which brings me to the point of my post.

I would greatly appreciate if people could look in their stashes, and see if they have any motherboards they would be willing to part with. They don't have to work at all, just look tidy and be pretty much intact.

I have an O2 mb and an Octane as well. Would be keen on an Indigo2, Indy, Fuel, Origin and Onyx, basically all the mips machines.

Remember, I don't care if they are dead, I am interested in "pretty"

Thanks in advance,
Jason.

Edit: With apologies, I no longer wish to have involvement with SGUG or SGI communities in general,
and have also chosen to remove all of my content. Many things have changed since I co-founded, named, and ultimately
then left SGUG. There are many good people around, to whom I apologize for frustrating by removing these things, and
also many petty people that over the years whittled down both the enjoyment as well as sense of obligation I used to
feel to anyone else regarding what was ultimately just a hobby. Unfortunately one of the latter now writes the rules
and so it is time for me to take my things and go.

This message will replace all of my previous forum posts because deleting threads that I started would have removed
other peoples' posts.

No worries,

I have had a few responses from elsewhere, making arrangements to "borrow" stuff and then return it when I am done.

Thanks for the kind words re the photography. It is my job, so I've had a bit of practice.

Cheers,
Jason.

I have some bad-ish Octane boards. Just sent you a PM with some details. They were about to go to the electronics recycler, so I'm glad I saw this thread!
