My last good finds included a lexmark model M keyboard in mint sgape for $2 and a brand new in box Soyo Dragon Platinum Ultra Kt400 motherboard. Got off work and went by my local Salvation Army and they had quite a few NiB gfx cards. All of these are sealed except the 6600gt which is open box but …

Possibly a bad bios since no code is shown.

The regular 485DX5-133 (=5x86-PR75) isn't particularly hard to come by, particularly not when compared to the Cyrix 5x86-133, but an ES is quite special. Don't think it will give you any advantages when running, so you are probably best off letting a collector enjoy this and using a normal one for …
AMD X5-133 Engineering Sample

Picked up a 486 board off ebay with no mention of the CPU it contained. When I got it in the mail today to my surprise it had an AMD x5-133 Engineering Sample. From what I have read the x5-133 are a bit hard to come by, and I was only hoping for a dx66 or dx4 100. Is there a reason to keep the …

Your main rig is looking sick, but I still like the Aptiva! I ended up taking my voodoo2 out of my Aptiva and stuck in my voodoo1 recently.

Nice PC & room :cool: I guess I would try to tidy up the cables more, though; having them all over the RAM and CPU cooler can't be great for thermals. Thanks and I agree the cables still need a lot of work. Lovely build (except the remark about the cables). The location of the power/sleep/wake keys …

TE is for termination. DS0-3 are the drive numbers. So in an AT or XT machine TE would have a jumper if it's the last drive on the cable. Then you would just select your drive order by placing another jumper on DS0-3. AT and XT machines did not have a twist in the cable like newer machines so this …

Sweet build! Where'd you get the case from? ^Thank you! I got the case brand new in box off ebay. There's a seller that had a bunch of new old stock cases. Only one of this model though. I picked it because it has as much room as most tower and more than some others. Very nice looking build! What …

Very nice Aptiva! I have a thread here on mine which is a 2144-m51. I still have all of the original software as well and more. Let me know if you need the software or anything because I would bet they are so close mine would work for yours. The mobos look identical as well as the soundcard. Also …
