Dude you got all that at e-waste? That's some serious hardware in that pic. Geeze, I hate people with such easy access to the e-waste stream so much :-) It is 100% jealousy though, so hopefully not too many hard feelings. If it makes you feel any better, I accumulated this over the course of months …

Nothing special today. An ASUS V3800 32M TNT2 Ultra. Quite generic, but I like it because I had it back in the day. It's missing the accessories, like the shutter glasses but I had/have no use for them anyway. ASUS-V3800-32M-TV-TNT2-Ultra.jpg I have the same card but its missing its heatsink. I …

So the day has come I'm about to buy my first game from somewhere other then GOG, namely C&C Remastered. From what I can tell only benefit of steam is it has a mod section, although the Origin copy also supports mods you just need to go find them on fan sites? I'll be installing it on a Win7 PC, …

I was planning on making a HL1 mod where you break out of a prison. I spent a lot of time detailing those cells. I never released it though. This was back in 2000-01ish. I believe I saved my progress on a CD but I could never find it.

Ah, I see the BAT now. I must have missed that I have one of those boards. Keep in mind that it needs a 6V battery (2 x CR2032 or 4 x AA/AAA). If you use 4.5V or less, it will appear to work for a few days but as soon as the voltage drops a bit with usage the date and CMOS settings will reset. Also …

I got this ECS 386A mobo from ewaste. The guy working there found it inside an anti-static bag. Its in mint condition. Beautiful looking mobo. No battery acid on, but at the same time there doesn't seem to be a place where there could have been a battery. There's an empty socket near the DIN …

Awesome find! I always wanted one but sadly couldn't afford one. I keep looking but most people want an arm and a leg for one still. Yeah I was browsing the local classifieds for a Lian Li case for another build and saw a case advertised with this display in it. I didn't want the case, but the …

It boots into bios just fine (with its familiar Awards logo at the top), but once it completes it boot cycle …

Probably a dumb question. If the DX4 is a triple clocked 33mhz DX and the AM5x86 a quadruple clocked DX then wouldn't the DX4 really be 99mhz and the 5x86 132mhz?
