Yes I could do that, but I will be less worried if I mount it with something 😵

Umm I'm in Argentina. Buying a bracket would be more expensive than the whole rig. I think I will search for scrap motherboards and if I couldn't find anything I will design some metal bracket. I have tools and equipment for pretty much anything, but I'm lazy right now 🤣

Pentium II 350 mhz. Nearly mint condition (noisy fan, but everything else is free of scratches or dust). Original Intel's blister. Bought it yesterday for one dollar. http://i67.tinypic.com/izs5j6.jpg Perfect match for my Soyo 6BA+ III + Voodoo 3 3000 agp :cool: The only problem is that the …

Although I never saw residues of chlorine left on my boards. How do you detect it? I remember seeing some white residues between pins on chipsets or pins that are very close to each other, but that looked more like calcium deposites. I never found out what it is. The chlorine does not leave a …

We do exactly the same (using particulate and carbon filters but we drink bottled water). We only use tap water to make mate, a traditional argentinian infusion which requires almost boil water.

Sorry pcbonez. I didn't see that link. Thank you! Water in here is pristine. It has some chlorine but nothing else. It is also suitable for drinking, although I don't.

It looks like you'll soon need to "upgrade" your memory module storage capacity :D If I keep finding old hardware like this, I will have to "upgrade" my house because I running out of space :lol: Go 3D :D And there are a couple threads about exactly that problem! :D Here's a few: http://www.vogons. …

Tetrium: that's just amazing! 😲 I don't have anything sealed. I bought a few weeks ago a sealed Genius CD ROM unit for my Pentium restoration, but I opened it for use on it.

I always wash boards with just water and detergent. Then I dry it with a painting compressor. Never had an issue or problem and the boards looks as brand new. That works fine when your water is mineral free and your climate allows things to dry fast. I've lived a lot of places where one or both of …

I don't care about drivers as they are available on the web. I think I have another dead voodoo ii... I'll try it on my main pc to see what happens.

Hey guys, quick and silly question: does the Voodoo 1/2 needs to be connected to a 2D graphics card to be detected by Windows? A local forum member gave me for free another Voodoo 2 in nearly mint condition. No rough handling issues. I don't have right now the cables to try them because I borrowed …

Ugh! That's a nasty burning! But how about the regulator getting too hot without load? Well, probably there is more than just one problem with my rig. I'll make a temporal connection with terminals so I can see if oxide is a problem in my case or not.

Commander Keen 1, Prehistorik 1 and Street Rod 1. I was three, maybe four years old and I was crazy about these!

Allright. That's very helpful info PCBONEZ. But the card isn't working yet. Now I don't have anymore the heating issue at the chip. But still no image and no recognition by Windows. I will start to take a look at the S3L384Q circuit. If there isn't any problem there, I can assume the card is fried …
