Try searching for screwed spacer sleeve - you can get them in various lengths and with a variety of threads.

Anybody can share anything about this mysterious computer, let me know. When i have made some pics/video of unboxing, i'll then probably start a thread for that thing. :) Some possible spec pages (in German) http://www.cc-computerarchiv.de/CC-Archiv/bc-alt/gb-san/gb-san-12_90.html http://www.cc- …

somebody knows this? the stamp is from 2002, and the inside (and the stamp) looks like a chieftec. Had this same case since around then (stamp too faded to read now but seem to remember it was 2001). Can't recall where I bought it but pretty sure it wasn't branded as Chieftec. The IAN / EAN barcode …

I managed to get my Asus P4S333 (right) working, which I'd previously written off as dead and was about to toss, by swapping & reseating the RAM a bunch of times and reseating the CPU. My 8IPE1000-G was in the same box, so while I had it out, I dismantled & cleaned the CPU coolers on both boards …

Certainly not the very best, but were decent in their time, I still have my original SOYO KT333 DRAGON Ultra Platinum Edition (currently working but a mass of bulging caps) and my Chaintech 7NJS (nF2) which is still in perfect nick.

Those Yamaha speakers look neat. Are they shielded? They look really nice. I'm betting they are shielded as were most speakers from this era because they were designed to be used next to a CRT monitor. Thanks, and yes they're shielded. So nice to see Skeletor alive and well on vogons. What's this …

As far as the brackets go, it'll depend what socket you're fitting it to - I think the small bracket is only for AMD K7 (Athlon XP, Sempron) socket 462 (socket A) motherboards. If you look at the last 3 pictures on the K7 installation in the PDF, that's where the small bracket goes, in place of the …

I've seen a few OEM cards which looked similar but in truth at stock a small passive / active sink on the gpu should be sufficient, and without ram sinks.

That's a pretty big selection - the Radeon 8500s seem to be pretty rare these days. I don't think I've seen an Intel i740 with heatsinks like that before as well. Yeah, quite a few of those cards have aftermarket sinks - definitely the i740 ram ones and I suspect the gpu as well, and on the two …

If the seller said it was an 8500DV then yes - ask for a partial refund if you're keeping the card. If you can get the drivers working for your chosen OS then the AIW 7500 is a decent card from its era. Unless you live in a region which still broadcasts analogue terrestrial TV signals or have an …
