Hello everyone, I would like to share with you a project of mine, since some now I have stopped here some components of which I intend to give a little life again so I decided to build a "retro" PC, so far I have the following material:
MB: AsRock 775i65g; AsRock 4CoreDual-VSTA; AsRock G41C-GS; P5KPL-AM SE
CPU: C2D E6700; C2Q Q6600; Pentium D 945; Pentium 4
GPU: Asus HD5770 pcie; Asus AH3450 agp
RAM: 1Gbx2 DDR400; 2Gbx2 DDR2 800
HDD: 80Gb ide; 120Gb ide; 250gb sata
Case: 1old beige; 1 old black; 1 old back and heavy
PSU: 350w; 500w; 700w
For now my idea is to build a system around AsRock 775i65g and try to optimize as best as possible, this PC will aim to install some old PC games, some emulators (Gensesis, PS1 and maybe Sega Saturn) and the OS to use will be Windows XP so as to minimize problems if compatibility.
For now is still a WIP because all this material is in my parents house but whenever I'll update it and out some photos.
If anyone has a tip or suggestion regarding this project feel free.
The initial configuration will be this:
MB: AsRock 775i65g rev. 2.0
CPU: C2D E6700
GPU: Asus AH3450 / HTP / 256M AGP
HDD: 80Gb IDE
PSU: 1Life ps: jet 500w
Case: old beige
