I can still find external Seagate drives here in Southern California; Best Buy, Fry's Electronics, Walmart stores have them.

I do have a Pentium badge, came with my P233MMX. I've been tempted to use it more than once, but it's smaller than the badge space on the Antec case. http://i.imgur.com/g0c0JKO.png I'll probably look for a larger-size badge that fits better; maybe a 3dfx badge will do (and add the Pentium badge as …

Quite frankly, I don't see how this i815 BIOS Tweaker is any better. Other than overclocking fixes (which I don't need), it's about the same as the last official Asus beta BIOS. Unless there's something in it that I really need, I'll just pass on it 😀

I only have 2 retro ATX cases, and the second one is what I call an "ugly duckling" :-P Here's the first one, an Antec KS-288 Valueline. It currently houses my Socket 7 build (click on pics for larger size). http://i.imgur.com/BSi4rbrm.png http://i.imgur.com/X4axj6Ym.png http://i.imgur.com/reVrsoWm. …

Have been trying out OpenXcom lately (thanks Jorpho for the link :happy: ). It works great, just like the original X-COM, but with several differences and enhancements that improves gameplay significantly. I really like it :blush: Here are some in-game screenshots (click on the image for larger …

Yup, no temp sensor on the Voodoo 3; I've also been considering placing the fan on the lower grille to take air out, now that I see how warm the Voodoo 3 gets after some heavy use with Unreal and Half-Life. And no, my Elite 330U didn't come with any passive pipes; this version is designed for newer …

I Thought trash was considered "abandoned property" or somthing along those lines. I could imagine the police saying to stop it if they caught you in the act and telling you to go home but are you saying they will track you down? Around here trash is considered public property only if it's out on …

Back in the late 90's and early 2000's I used to go to swap meets and computer shows to find old computer hardware (I got my SW60XG, SB Pro 2 and Asus TX97-XE that way), and also by helping others upgrade their computers (they never wanted the old stuff back :-D ). Nowadays, it's mostly eBay. My …

Looks like it was discontinued? The Thremalright site no longer lists the HR-05-SLI as a current product (It's now in the Archives section).

I doubt it - I know LiveWare 3.0 won't work with my ct4870. Still have (and use) the original driver CD because of that.

That heatsink looks big enough to be used as an auxiliary oil cooler in a car 🤣

@meljor: do you have a POST card? It may help you pinpoint the problem with the P3B-F.

Tnx for the GL Excess link. *Censored*, it looks like Radeon HD2600 Pro Agp not supports the sphere mapping at all (scene 7 and scene 8 )... The Voodoo 3 doesn't do too well either - Scene 2 is just a bright white screen and Scene 11 has these funny-looking long rectangles instead of streams with …

I was using a Western Digital WD400JB 40gb HD to install WinXP SP3 for the Doom 3 timedemo shootout. Right after the final reboot, the hard drive quit spinning and went dead.
