Doesn't seem so bad to me, rival. I've paid $10 for a broken Athlon before... although this may be a grab-bag of clock speeds. Too bad the shipping doesn't drop very fast for buying multiples... ~$16 shipping for 3.

Perhaps the person who buys it will write some good comments about how great the dead processor is and what a great deal Newegg gave, Newegg will post it and give some great gift.

Yeah, the shipping is really crappy. Three items for $14 total + 15.75 shipping. :p (Saving a big $1.25 over shipping the items seperately. Puh-leeez!)

You can stuff it and put it on your mantel, then shoot blow gun darts at it.

. This item may be defective and does have some scratch or crack

Possibly used and abused by OCs. Another source could be dead systems that some vendor(s) figures it was more cost effectived to part out computers, instead of working on.

What's the going price range for pulled CPUs sold with 10-30 day warranty?

Maybe you can put a system with all the dead components in and say you have the cheapest system ever and then go on bragging about it to your friends. You do the same with your live ones, so mine as well.

I bought 20 of those pentium 3 processor's the last time they were selling them for $2 each-2 were amd k6-2- 1 was a k6-3 they worked-I had a friend try 1 of the pentium slot processor's and it works (all I have is amd I don't know why I bought them??)-lots of those are slower speed processor's. I called and asked for a better price on shipping and they gave me a break on the shipping.

They make nice keychains...as long as you don't put your keys in your pocket...pins are kinda "pokey" ...I speak from experience...(first coppermine I got...had voltage set wrong, got about 3.0 volts to it...made a nice popping sound)...

I tried a Celeron ($2 + $6 shipping) when I ordered a refurb motherboard. Well, it was a slot1 300A and as dead as who knows what. It came with a cooler master HS/fan. So I can at least salvage the 50mm fan.

I took out the HS fan and saw multiple scratches on the print board cutting through the traces. It looks that someone tried to take off the HS/fan using a screw driver and made those scratches. I am going to use a conductive trace pen to see if I could restore it.

Anyway, from my experience, I would not recommend anyone to try them out.

What can you do with dead CPU? you bring it to work and swap it out with a working one so you boss will upgrade you computer. Just my 2 cents.

Or if you have a lower moral standard you can sell the working one you swapped out.
