This for 3 EUR. All-out 1999. Case is missing two front panels. Monitor has blown a backlight fuse (?). Slight yellowing on one side. Slight yellowing on one of the speakers. All fixable I think.

I showered some fully functional but dusty Slot 1 boards and discovered some sketchy traces on the SE440BX-2. What are these ones responsible for? Floppy? Those tracks are fine, the solder mask is just missing at that point. Put some nail polish over the exposed copper traces if it bothers you. …

This Gigabyte board has a self-destruct feature where a voltage regulator fries any caps nearby. Hopefully a perfect pair for the gorb after recapping. 522.jpg I believe this is due to excessive AGP voltage, mostly caused by Voodoo 3 cards? Very plausible, the Voodoo jumper on this board hasn't …

I've never owned S370 before but they're still cheap so why not. They're a bit boring though. CUSL2 was meant to be a nice board for those I think. Wish I had one anyway. Edit: Looks like you got a GF3 also, those seem to help out sub Ghz systems quite well, though of course they also get faster …

I would like some help finding out the cause for my monitor's edges looking almost like being damaged by water. Are they damaged by condesation or something and is this repairable?
