So it was on the wish list for ages, until this came along for the low price of 59€ and no shipping !!!!! 1040STE.jpg …

Today's flea market finds: 20230909_121640.jpg The Intel DX2-66 had a heatsink glued on... In boards or just like that? No, without the boards. Unfortunatly... A random guy was selling these 10 and two more P1-s and a Duron 800. He was asking 2 Euros per pcs. At that price I just couldn't leave …

That's a futile dream, a collection can never ever be complete. Museums care about milestones in history, not a huge and boring collection of cheap items made by Chinosium companies to get the biggest profits they can.

This is the thermal paste I use for all of my general purpose applications. The tube is enormous and, despite using it very liberally, has lasted years. I can recommend this highly. Does anyone have any information on it? I'm pretty sure I ordered it from either eBay or AliExpress a long time ago. …
