[Wiltshire] Nice hardware offer

Hey folks,

It's quiet around here lately!

Some may remember that years ago I made a custom aluminium server
computer case to take a very simple mini ITX motherboard, hard drive and
power supply set-up. The same box is still operating perfectly 24/7, but
I feel it is time I upgraded from the 32 bit Atom processor to a 64 bit
something.

I found some Jetway fanless Celeron industrial boards (single 12V power
supply) on eBay item number 123022766975 for less than half the usual
price so I thought I'd share this info in case any of you might be
interested. I know why they are so cheap, they are overstock not
knockoffs. Mine is working fine as a desktop lash up with Ubuntu Server
18.04 installed on an old hard drive. I'm expecting to have a fresh hard
drive to use with it later today.

Now, a similar request to the one I made nine years ago! If anybody has
a blown power supply waiting to be scrapped with a two pin 12V plug on
one of the outputs, I'd be interested in getting hold of that plug,
please, with the crimped on wires, because it's not supplied with the
motherboard.
