I have two eGPUs; both of which are collecting dust.

One is a BlackMagic eGPU Pro (since discontinued).

The main reason that I disconnected them, is that I plan to get an M1X/M2 laptop, once they come out, and I know that the new chips don't work with eGPUs, so I might as well get used to it (Makes for simpler under-desk wiring, too).

Also, the eGPUs seemed to introduce random crashes, and I don't like running on discontinued kit.

I’ll take them off your hands if interested. I need to beef up my i7 Mac mini.

Thanks. These are not personal devices. They belong to the corporation (I own), so I can't just sell them off.

I'll have to have a chat with my lawyer, next time I see him, and see what would be a good way to deal with them.
