lets you seamlessly share a mouse and keyboard between multiple computers check it out at the link below so I've been to auctions run by these guys before and it was at their facility and everything was kind of like put into bins and carts but on location the rules are a little different like even at the check-in desk the computers here they're up for auction you you just you go ever like is this toilet plunger up for auction no no it's not okay so not everything but a lot of things so in here is where they used to assemble all the NCIX pc computers I was actually in here must have been a month or two ago and I was chatting with the the owner former owner I don't know how that works but I was in here and it was like crazy like basically screwdrivers down it looked like everyone went home for the day and then just never came back so they've they've kind of staged things a little bit make it look a little more you know auctioning it looks like any machines that were in the process of being built and or like this one's got a lot of dust in it look at this and or I don't know maybe we're in for repair or we're being used as demo systems have just kind of been set up all along the counters here for people to to bid on them some pretty good stuff in here so the way that these auctions work is everything is kind of grouped into Lots so you can't just bid on this sapphire HD 2600 XT as though you would want to if you got to buy this one terabyte two and a half inch hard drive this test blank no way there is so much like epic loot here look at this alien where Compu mm stress balls this is doing nothing for my stress right now you could do like a techie archaeological dig in this place and that was already true when I left five years ago please keep this door closed what are you gonna do about it alright ok this is fun we found a home for the thresh ball i found on the floor stress stress is all gone now and we've got some other good stuff here too so this this was my bad like 8 years ago I cut a pio for this this is the mountain mods it's UV green acrylic stylish that that stayed fashionable UV green acrylic and it's an external radiator mount with like these handles on the top so you would basically like separate them and then you would screw in your radiator on both sides and you could just mount the radiator and just plonk it down on your desk needless to say that concept didn't really take off and making matters worse if you were to buy one of these today I hope you have a thermo chill PA series radiator because otherwise it won't fit and those have been discontinued for over half a decade so sorry NCIX I done goofed on that one another thing I bought that never sold these that mod smart these were the primo chill guys sometimes they moved ok some colors though not as successful as others more danger den stuff oh no an AM to hold down for the Swift X storm oh ok here's another good one I guarantee you I bought this to Apple GD t yep so I actually cut my teeth as a product manager on the water cooling category because no one else wanted to do it look at that yellow label there baby this is the DB one from D tech do you guys remember D Tech I didn't think so Danny from D Tech good guy good guy man they made the best Barb's in the game back when barbed fittings were cool this is a fun bin if you want some truly legacy stuff like this looks really good but this is a gtx 760 and this doesn't even look good but it's like funnier than it than it looks it looks like a crappy graphics card uh-huh it's a PCI card this is a this X card physics by ageia physx this is the future okay I need to find out how much the minimum bid is because like I just want to do a retro unboxing of office XP professionals still sealed Adobe Illustrator cs2 clearly not worth anything but I'm terrible now that is a dead operating system if I've ever seen one hey I've got an iPad -
