Asus PC-DL + 2x Xeon 2.4 GHz HT

GeForce 6200 - early NV43 GPU based revision with 128bit DDR

Oh is that one of the 6200's that can be unlocked to a 6600? That would be awesome 🤤

😀

Behold; an IBM Thinkpad 600 (advertised as a 600E, but hardly a major disaster). 266 MHz Pentium II, came with 64MB of RAM which has since been upgraded to 224MB with RAM I have lying around (32MB built in), 13.3" XGA screen. Everything works bar the dead CMOS battery, and, after a short battle to get her to actually boot into Windows, it booted fine into XP SP2 (which was as slow as you can imagine).

Did someone just sell a haul with a SB2.0 for 10 EUR??? Wow... I wish I knew people like that

Actually i sended one for free at monday to local computer museum. Had two about 5 years and noone were interested in any sound card i have. So better donate them, than scrapping.

Bagged some FREE goodies last week!

Most recent aquisitions - mostly 486 / 386 combo boards, some 386 boards, a voodoo 1 (My first Voodoo 1 😁 😁 😁 - these things are hard to find in my neck of the woods ), a millennium, and some larger unidentified ISA cards. Take a look, maybe you can help me ID some of them...

Re: Help identify some old hardware - motherboards, video cards and some weirder stuff.

@Artex - man I've been looking for one of those full-featured MSI NEO 2 boards for ages! All I've been able to find is the cut down versions with no SATA and only three memory slots...

Yeah, I think this one is the FIS2R model that supports 3.2Ghz EE Pentium 4 (SL7AA S-Spec) as well. Not sure I wanna swing $55+ bucks for one though...

Don't see the 3.4Ghz EE (SL7CH S-Spec) listed however...

Usually I don't post here... but this time I'm quite excited that I finally managed to get 22" Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 2070SB in a very good condition (case and picture wise).

This is what I got yesterday:

- 22" Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 2070SB - very good picture
- 17" Samsung SyncMaster 765MB Magic Bright Flat - also really good picture and it feels really small compared to 22" 🤣
- AT Socket 7 with AMD K6-300MHz, 32MB SDRAM, S3 Trio32 1MB PCI (I'll upgrade it to 2MB - finally got Trio32 PCI - I'll compare it to VLB on 486 one day 🤣 ), ISA ESS soundcard, 2GB HDD - case is in perfect condition with no yellowing, one of the late AT cases built in 1998 and even has a LCD for MHz display 😉 Runs Windows 98 (slow).
- ATX s478 Celeron 1.7GHz, 256MB DDR, 40GB IBM 7200 HDD, onboard VGA & sound - nothing special about it - all the caps leak heavily but surprisingly it works. Runs Windows 98 (faaaast)
- Apple Power Macintosh G3 - Workgroup Server 95 - not pictured as I didn't tried it yet. Complete with keyboard & mouse and some software. Runs Mac OS 9.2 (not yet tested).

The 22" CRT came with Macintosh G3. This is also my first Apple I ever had. Will have to see what I've been missing all these years 🤣

Pictured at my parents house as I don't have any space left in my appartment 😢 🤣

I have not used one of those MSI boards, but IME the EE will work in any board that supports the equivalent Northwood. Whether or not the EE is worth it is another story. 😊

Picked up a pair of pcie Radeon HD3870's for $10

A few PCIe graphics cards:

Well, something interesting happened today. My father just brought me an "old PC board" he found when shopping for a cordless phone. It isn't really retro (just an Elitegroup GT440 with 1GB 128bit GDDR5), and I really have no use for it (all my PCI-e PCs have better graphics cards) but I found it funny that I'm starting to be the "guy to toss old PC stuff to" of the family.

Just be happy you're that guy and not the "my computer had this weird message today! come fix it!" guy that everyone in the family calls on all the time, is not fun.

I have never owned a smartphone but I am young and have pc experience so I have become the "strange message fixer" person in my family 😵

Well, I bought a large pile of hardware today, all in one go, for 30 euros. Did not really know what I would get (except for some pictures) and did not know how much it was. And it was much, and it was fun. A preview:

Logitech Scanman with ISA card

Tape Controller (also found two tape drives - no picture yet)

I/O board? Looks like Serial, Parallel and Game port

This 386 was sitting in a large bag of cables

Lots of mouses/mice 😀 I love the Genius one, my first 386 had one. There a about 20 old mice in the box, serial and ps/2.

Useful? I don't know?

Lots of manuals included also.

Five boxes of 5.25" DS/DD floppy drives. Sealed! Will they even work after such a long time?

PC's! The AT big tower is beautiful! Comes with Turbo button 😀 Has a Socket 5 Pentium, have not checked further. Rest of the Compaqs are also Pentium 1's I think. The newer tower is a PIII 733, and I think I spotted RDRAM. The motherboard is an Intel VC820!

Clicking keyboards 😀

Lots of manuals.

And finally this thing. Can anyone tell me what it is?

The other side of it:

Also three large HP Laser printers. And two 14" VGA? monitors. And this giant:

I have no idea what I'm going to do with all this. It's just to much. My girlfriend is not happy 😐

Hide most of it where she wont look.

Use the Socket 5 system and the big screen to play some fun DOS games 😀

I think you won the retro haul competition for this month (if such a comp existed) congrats! I would say you have a golden opportunity to keep what you want/need and sell the rest on ebay etc.
