For a while now i've been building a XP rig, circa 2002. It's sort of a final frontier for me, everything newer doesn't fit as "retro".
It's almost finished and it's time to share.
I tried to stay as much as possible in 2002, except for case, psu and optical drives.
After much time spent, "Godzilla" is born with the following specs:
ASUS A7M266-D
4 x 512MB DDR266 ECC
Dual Athlon MP 2400+ with 2 nice Cooljag coolers
ATI Radeon 9700 PRO 128MB with Zalman VF700 Al-Cu
Adaptec SCSI adapter 29160LP (64 bit)
Seagate Cheetah 15K 18GB SCSI drive
LG DVDRW IDE
Creative Audigy 2
USB 2.0 PCI card
Wireless PCI card
All this stuff is mounted in a Coolermaster Elite 333 case with 2 x 120mm fans, with a Thermaltake Purepower 480W PSU.
I'm still missing a large hard drive for storage (200GB WD IDE or 146GB Seagate SCSI) and cable management... 🙄
