This 130XE (in box, ideal condition). Photos from a lady who picked it up for me (I should have it on Friday). I already had 65XE but 'old' model without EIC which may come in handy. I also paid ~65 USD which is a very good price even in Poland.

What is better than one AMD K5 PR200? hmm... two of them in a Tyan dual socket 7 mobo? :) No CPU was harmed - and I know, 2 x K5 is not going to work on a dual socket 7 mobo. But could not resist the temptation to put it all together for the photo, looks cool! I love it! I just bought the same …

Only one vintage gaming system looks good in woodgrain... ...nope, not LGR's 486 ;D but Atari 2600 :D And yeah, there are 'effect' paints to achieve this sort of surface texture, but as to their scratch/chipping resistance - the mileage varies unfortunately... Computer cases were usually powder …

I got this one yesterday... It will need some work to make it shine again as there are some rust spots, plastic is a bit yellowed, front panel sticker is missing and so on... Awesome. With a good cleaning and pushing out the grille on the left speaker a little this could probably my be good as new! …

Got this from a friend. He bought it brand new. Not really vintage yet, but still interesting (at least to me - I never had anything with RDRAM). And this desktop ATX case from Enlight <3

This thing... Not really vintage as it's Pentium 4 Northwood, still I couldn't resist this Desktop ATX Enlight case along with TDK and Creative drives. Interesting Intel motherboard and Rambus memory and Sapphire Radeon 9000 AGP too. And price was good. Now I have tower ATX Enlight, minitower …

The last character changes because of the KBC, it has nothing to do with the bios itself. And if you look closely, they're different on each boards :) If you try to run this BIOS in a VM it'll probably have yet a sligthly different POST string. No need to worry ^^ Oh, that's interesting and good to …

286 #49, #50 and #56 (Octek FOX M 286) share the exact same BIOS. They all have the same SHA256 hash. That is interesting since #49 has bios string D286-6069-040990-K8 and #50 ends 040990-KD in the pictures. I just checked too and both H and L do match from both of those, wonder why one has a …

Would you mind sharing either the source file (hoping that it will open in Fusion360), or maybe make one without holes in it? It would be nice to have for future projects :) I suppose it will work for PCI cards as well .. "Blank" brackets are available on thingiverse and you can open STL files in …
