Anyone ever seen red RAM before?

So I just pulled this red ram out my little RAM stash and realized it's the only memory stick I've ever come across like this. Anyone else seen anything like this before? Oh, and Merry Christmas to y'all here on SMF!

Thanx JG. So, does that mean you have used them and weren't pleased or that you just don't dig aftermarket stuff in general? lb

I got mixed up on that too, LB, as I was making replies. Actually it was Gus that said keep it or send it to him.

Gus, that shipping I referred to was around 05, and TN to Cali. It could possibly be astronomical now to Canada. I have truthfully considered tearing this behemoth down, due to lack of interest on CL, and my lack of interest in restarting on Ebay

Aftermarket performance memory and motherboards sometimes were made in different radical colors. I use to deal with high end gaming equipment and most like me prefered the aftermarket look.

Right on brother, I'm seeing where ya, that could be the trend right there. Geek stuff for uber-kool gamer crowd. Hmmm, that right there already puts them in a more "rare0ish " catagory for me so far. Thanx for your input. Have any laying around anywhere to shoot a pic of for us in here? lb

I got a red one and some blue ones.

You do? I sorta have to go along with Andrew in the post above and think I prefer the coolish aftermarket/customized kinda look myself. I mean Everybody has seen green RAM but my original question seeks to find (number wise/rarity) how many others in here have seen or have on hand, red ones. Now, through you, I'm stimulated even further, learning of your blue versions of non-typical RAM. Soooo, like, could you post a pic of them colorful sticks of yours, for all us less fortunate E-scarpers then dude?

Thanx Gus, any idea what type of metal that is? Is it magnetic? Do you take that cover off when you sell them? Do you know what this RAM is from, I haven't come across one of these yet? lb

Thanx Gus, so do you remove those Alu caps when you sell those ECC's sticks or leave 'em on bud? lb

Is there even a such thing as aftermarket when it comes to computer components?

Yes! It's what you stop to buy(after you stopped to buy your new computer) on the way home, so you can get your new computer up to date ; )
