cfmicro is the same as the guy above
brka works for the guy above

I do believe dreamhardware had some stripped down / incomplete systems,
I described how to complete them, suggested a price for the
>reassembled< system, but IMHO, he never did reassemble them, and tried
to score on the complete price.

He doesn't provide many pictures, uses stock category artwork. I've
never bought from him. YMMD.

I've had a limited amount of transactions with 'dreamhardware' - negotiation was challenging, and always an aspect that his angle was driven by money. There are items I would have liked to have, but I can live without them. PM sent to Ryan on Facebook.

Ended up finding out brka is 2 miles from where I work and is the guy you want to deal with directly. If you see something on the other guys site, contact brka for the real price and info and the part.

I'm so sorry that you may have had a bad experience with an Ebay seller.
Unfortunately many of these sellers have limited knowledge about what they are selling and just try to do the best that they can
with what they have to work with... I have many many people sell my stuff from several Ebay accounts in several states. Most of the stuff that I have
is alien to them and many do not have good cameras and media and tools to repair the items that they sell or even test them... On my end I want to move as much stuff as fast as possible.
As is where is. And make a few dollars doing it... I do not have the time or desire to deal with every independent sale or customer.. Therefore I rely on them.
I do hope that they are listing things in that way.. Unfortunately with Ebays feedback system, someone not leaving feedback should always be considered good and positive..
People only tend to only leave feedback is when they get a bad deal..or negative... Or Ebay should make it mandatory for every Ebayer to leave feedback and make Ebay even more cumbersome
to use,,, Ebay sellers may need some advise,,, but if it is described well. You get what you get.. Most sellers of mine are not collectors or even computer lovers

I have made some purchases from dreamhardware_com on ebay, and I got what I was expecting. Price was not great, negotiation was non-existant. They had some items listed I was not convinced they actually had (no pictures just part/no), and they took pictures and updated the listings when I requested, but could not get anywhere close on price. (ibm wireless lan entry stuff).

Who is brka

[lharr...@gmail.com]

I've requested pictures from dreamhardware and then they jacked up the price once they updated them. Pretty much wrote that seller off right then and there.

I´m looking for 400V PSU for my 8595 to buy and only dreamhardware has 3 pcs for sale on Ebay. Can I trust this firm an order for them? If they sell some brka stuff on comission I would like to contact directly to brka but don´t know if they have an email adress or web site.

[Ryan Alswede]

Yes I was there on Tuesday picking up a 9577 from Scott. There are 3 parted out 8595s sitting on his warehouse with power supplies in them.

Try their website:

AVOID dreamhardware

[Pertti Helander]

Cfusion has the same three 92F0267 400V PSUs than Dreamhardware and their price $125 was OK.
I like to order one to Finland but order didn´t went through.
The USP check didn´t accept my adress. Do Cfusion deliver parts to overseas?

[Ryan Alswede]

See if they ( brka seller ) can list it in THEIR ebay store with international shipping. Ask them a question from eBay from their ( brka ) store page or random item. I can't speak for them.

I can´t find their site on Ebay. I searched brka and cfusion on Ebay but no results. What is their Ebay stores name?

I sent message to brka and he tells me that they have three PSUs in their 8595 and he found one 400W 92F0267.
He sets it on Ebay for $137.50 + $98.93 shipping. The shipping costs are too much for me.

It's only money, and you can always make more money, but your PS/2 is still dead.

I made a deal with brka. Thank you Ryan for your help!

[Ryan Alswede]

Was at his warehouse on Tuesday walking around. Picked up a T4 DX2 complex for cash.

He has tons and tons of MCA machines
about 50+ Model 90s mostly stripped out but still.
about 30 95 servers
lots of55 and 77
and the 486 SLC or whatever it's called.

Paradise for any MCA guy but bring your wallet. Sadly a lot of the plastic is brittle as crackers.

do you have any contact information for them that you are able to share?
