Thanks a lot, that is great stuff! But I'm still afraid the soldering iron would bite me... it looks at me funny sometimes, so I found this instead: http://www.shoptronica.com/tira-de-postes-pin … dado-largo.html

Hello So today my old Tagan PSU died peacefully after years of duty (I don't know if the damn thing took the motherboard with it, I got no way to check it out, it was the only one I had). So my objective is to modify a Thermaltake PSU I got no use for. Sure enough, it's missing the -5V white wire, …

Either a GeForce 3 or a Savage4 Extreme, didn't make my mind yet. That motherboard could fit the bill, from what I see audio can be disabled in BIOS. Thanks for the tip! If somebody knows of any other, please let me know

I want a VIA chipset because of Throttle. Throttle has 16 steps on VIA chipsets instead of the typical 8 on Intel platforms. Audio is not terribly important... but only if it can be disabled in BIOS. Integrated video is a no-no though ^^

Hello everybody In my never ending quest for happiness through retro frankensteining, I relized what I really wanted (and perhaps needed) is a motherboard like this: - Slot 1 - 100 MHz FSB - AGP x4 - VIA chipset - 2x ISA slots - 2x PCI slots (minimum) - No video or audio I've been looking all over …

Thank you for your reply, that was helpful! I couldn't locate a 2910 (doesn't exist? http://www.ask.asia.creative.com/wwenglish/general/Products_list_audio.htm ), so I got myself a CT2230. I hope I didn't do something stupid xD. I think I had one very similar back in 1993/1994, it was actually …

Hi everybody, new user freshly registered on those fine forums here I'm from Spain, I'm 37 years old, and I'm on a (crazy) quest: build my very own retro gaming box from bits and parts collected over the years, and stuff fom e-bay. I believe I got everything I need for what I want to do... all, …
