Im trying to get my hands on a second hand PC Chips M848A Motherboard but keep getting out bidded on ebay. Anybody know of any suppliers?

I think its an Athlon 2800+ chip, has anybody any suggestions of an alternative motherboard.

thanks, great news that i can buy a new board for the price of a second hand one on ebay

You're welcome. There are better alternative boards out there too for a similar price.

looks like im back to the ebay lottery again. the site you suggested wont deliver to the UK. i dont fancy the price that is bieng asked for a second hand board though by the ebay bandits! ;-)

Does this look like your motherboard (its version5.0): http://www.chiefvalue.com/product/sh...185-074-06.jpg

Its being sold HERE and they may deliver it cross borders.

Yep thats the exact board but unfortunately the site states "ChiefValue.com does not ship internationally. At this time. We only ship within the United States and Puerto Rico."

Thanks again for trying to help out.

This place in Gloucester has a whole bunch of compatible boards. The PC Chips M848A is at the bottom of the page but consider spending a bit more on one of the others as they are probably all better quality than the one that you are currently looking for.
