Title says it all. I want 2 3.5" Hard drives and possibly a junk ATX motherboard for mock up purposes only. Clean out your closet and send me your junk. I will pay shipping. PM me for questions.

Sweet. That mounts exactly like the 780i that I have if I'm not mistaken. Does anyone know if the X58's mount the same also??

I figured I would put it in the wrong section. I suppose I missed the dedicated "wanted section" (Will an admin please correct my mistake please and thank you).

Would these be donations fellas (I pay shipping of course)? I don't care about the HDD's being gutted as long as I am able to mock them up for the case I am building. (Due to dust, aluminum slivers, and whatnot, I don't really want to use good hardware). I really would like to have 2 though.

I have SEVERAL old 3.5" IDE HDDs and I have a more than likely dead(won't turn on AT ALL w/ power switch) eVGA nforce4SLI mobo.

Paypal would be fine BTW.

edit:
As long as you can cover shipping rounded up and any other fees I'll send the HDDs for jsut the aforementioned fees. I kinda like the s939 board up on my wall


Also I'd trade for a 400watt+ PSU and/or a cheap pci-e GPU.

All motherboards use the same layout as far as how they mount to the motherboard tray. The only differences that there are is how many of the holes get used and the height of the standoffs used can vary from one to the other.
When you say mock-up are you meaning you want to use it for hole placement if that is the case you may be better off to have a copy of the atx form factor printed out cause I have seen variances in mobo hole placement to where they don't line up perfectly. For instance I had a case that the first mobo I used in it I had a hard time getting the upper right corner screw in cause the mobo hole was shifted toward the front of the case. Board died and got another exact same board and the middle right was shifted toward the rear of the case. So using a board as a template for hole placement could cause an issue depending on the accuracy of the hole placement. The only hole on a motherboard that is guarantied to be perfect everytime is the lower left one cause that is the datum point of the board. When I refer to left/right top/bottom I am refering to standard atx tower layout not btx.
If you would like a 1:1 atx blueprint for printing I can create one for you.

Have you considered just getting a motherboard tray?

Edit: forgot to mention I have everything you need if you still need them and I am quite close so it would get there pretty quickly.
