Hey all,

I am having a cleanout and wanted to get rid of some pieces that may interest fellow Geekzone members:

1. Xbox 360E.

Was originally a 4GB model and I upgraded with an official Microsoft 250GB HDD.  Comes with PSU and 2 controllers.  Was purchased new from The Warehouse



2. 4 PS4 Move controllers + 2 Guns + charger stand.

Bought new in the age of dance games looking like fun, used a few times, then sat there collecting dust.





3. Sphero BB8.  Original edition (not the new Force one)

Bought from Armageddon last year. used twice and not sits as a display.  Includes original box



4. eSata external HDD box.  Holds 4 SATA drives.

I bought this off trademe a few years ago and couldn't get it to work on Server 2012R2 so gave up.  It powers on fine but I have no real way of testing it


5. Dremel Versastip Soldering Iron

This was something I got from FlyBuys and then never used.  Only opened the box to admire the contents and thought of all the cool projects I could do, then put it way.  Brand new condition

What're you thinking for the iron? I wouldn't mind one, but I'm not sure how much I'm willing to splash out on one to improve over the god awful 25w abomination I got from DSE 10 years ago.





Anything I say is the ramblings of an ill informed, opinionated so-and-so, and not representative of any of my past, present or future employers, and is also probably best disregarded.

Just had a look on trademe, they are around $80, so $60.  Sorry I should have said, I am in Auckland and pick up is fine.

I'll have a ponder and get back to you, no hard feelings if anyone else beats me to the punch. It's one of those things I don't often need, but when I want one I get pissed off that I forgot to get a half decent one.

Sorry for the late reply - its a CFI, the model number of the board inside says CFI-B43PM.  Here's some photos:

Slight correction. The CFI-B43PM seems to be only the eSATA port multiplier board. The complete unit actually is four disk TowerRaid external directly attached storage enclosure from Sans Digital. NewEgg link with more pictures.

You don't mention the required eSATA add-on card. Did you get one when you purchased the unit? Or do you have an eSATA port on your mobo?

 

 

 

Edited: Added NewEgg link.

the Xbox360 , you'll need to massively lower your price

They are near worthless now.
I just sold my one, same model/spec, + all my games + logitech headset + MS Force Feedback steering wheel & footpedals for $83
$83 is all I could get on trademe for it

 

Just saying :-)

Thanks @IcI - I didn't realise it was different.  Yes, I have 2 PCI eSATA cards and the eSATA cable. I was trying to get this working with Server 2012R2 but couldn't.  I didn't try too hard and I know the Server part could probably be the issue.  I eventually bought a larger PC case and plugged in drives in internally so never revisited the problem.

I will include at least 1 of the cards (I have one on my desk, just need to dig out the second, if I do the buyer can have both)

Thanks for the info - I will update the price, but $83 is REALLY low with all that hardware!
