Been a long time since I was last here on Vogons! I had misplaced my password again 🤣, had to reset it.
But anyway, today I got a small lot of hardware for free, including:
A complete Pentium 1 100Mhz system, including a case (but alas missing it's cover) with a 2 digit LED display. Except for the missing cover, it's still in excellent shape (minus mild yellowing). The 430VX board inside looks to be in brand new condition. Theres even hardly any dust inside, as if it's hardly been used 😁
The motherboard has 2 SIMM modules, each 8 meg EDO. Nothing special there, except the modules have blue heatspreaders on them (or what appears to be heatspreaders). The heatspreaders look to not be 3rd party but anyway, I thought that detail was interesting somehow.
It had a CT2950 in it (I "think" that's a soundblaster 16 something?) and a 2 meg S3 Trio-something graphics card (made by Diamond, it's missing it's VGA memory upgrade chips).
The CPU is a not-so-special Pentium 100 along with a HSF that attaches directly to the CPU.
Also I got a dual 5.25in floppy drive, probably 1.2M and 1.44M combo, a black standard floppy drive and a black DVD/CD-burner drive
Along with this stuff I got some small bits like a Socket 939 backplate, a couple chipset heatsinks and it goes down from there! 😜
I'm probably missing some stuff that I forgot, but I'll look into it all tomorrow when I'm freshly awake 😁
Edit: I really need to get used to the slightly different layout 🤣!
