Got myself one of these:

The seller has plenty left.
I/O, I/O,
It's off to disk I go,
With a bit and a byte
And a read and a write,
I/O, I/O
I get the feeling I must be the only person in here to obsess about all computer parts EXCEPT sound cards 😀
I collect graphics cards and x86 CPUs, plus have at least a couple of dozen motherboards waiting for the right cases and PSUs to come along to build a bunch of test stations. Will have to get the camera out tomorrow and show off some of what I received this week 😀
See my graphics card database at www.gpuzoo.com
Constantly being worked on. Feel free to message me with any corrections or details of cards you would like me to research and add.

Okay, so John's was 1080p and mine is 1080i but that's just details. 😉 This thing is amazing, the color depth is something else and even SD output on S-Video is rendered beautifully without interlace (it also runs 540p.) The DVI port for the PC into is nice too. It's not a precision CAD display but for gaming it's brilliant.
Probably no-one else noticed but I picked up on the Ti99/4a with the NanoPEB at the side. I have the same as well as the F18A VGA card installed. Ti99/4a was my first computer
so I have a soft spot for them. Lots of newer software nowdays so they are a lot more useful than back in the day when I only had a handful of games.

Well, you are not the only. I tent to collect mainly CPUs and motherboards, while having about 20 builds/PCs including an old IBM server with 2 Tualatin P3s
I have around 260 x86 CPUs and 1 PowerPC 7400 (G4) 450 MHz. The majority of them are Intel Pentium 4 CPUs (from the 1.5 Ghz Willamette Socket 423 up to the highest clocked Pentium 4 670 at 3.8 Ghz)

I pretty much specialize in dual-socket platforms of any era. Intel/AMD, I collect them all if the price is right.
I don't even want to count how many procs I have that are from the P2/P3 Xeon families alone. I probably have as many slot-2 boards as I have slot-2 processors. Got so many boards that I can't even decide which to put in builds and what to set aside for later 🤣.

Someone's selling a Sony WEGA 28 or 36 near me that's 1080i for 30 dollars. Sadly I'm going to be broke for October and i fear it will be gone by then. Not to mention I have no where to put a CRT (according to the guy it also weighs 200 pounds so I would have to Shanghai 2 people or more into helping me get the god damn thing) plus my parents would never OK me getting it through the door (if it would even fit)

I used to own over 160 graphics card, I've since recovered from graphics card addiction
Found a CT3600 SB32 at a local recycle place for $2.
Got four nice boards for cheap: Intel VS440FX and 200 MHz Pentium Pro (256kb version sadly 😁 ), Asus CUR-DLS (HP OEM) dual soc 370, Chaintech 5AGM2 Super 7 with K6-2 500 MHz CPU and Asus P4P800SE that I pu CT-479 adapter on together with Pentium M 750 CPU. All of them booted up nicely. Decision times ahead 😀
Many 3Dfx and Pentium III-S stuff.

Ooooooo! That asus board! I want it!
It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes.

Lol which one? 😁 I could trade for something, if you happen to have some dual Slot 2 board or something?

Im talking about the dual-370. Looks like a cur-dls? Anyway, my asus xg-dls is not for sale, at least not at any sort of reasonable price. Its my 2nd favorite board. #1 is my P65UP8-CP6ND

Yes it is CUR-DLS. I could trade it for a pair of 2.8v PIII Xeon CPU's too.

^^ That board on the top left has 64-bit PCI-X slots and takes 32-bit CPUs? How does that work?

D'not know if that is a exited console, a device or a mini game. So I decided to publish here that pic of my new WWE gig Smackdown somthing.

SDRAM is 64 bits wide.
All hail the Great Capacitor Brand Finder
Also the data BUS width is also 64 bits wide. if memory serves.

Found a C64 for a bit more money than I was comfortable spending. But it was boxed and complete in excellent shape. After seeing that a power supply alone costs half what I paid online I dont feel as bad 😀

Yes, until Core i and Athlon64 moved to serial buses.

Dont know why still buying other things, but cant let them out. Need all 😁

Asus TNT2 Ultra Deluxe
Asus, not for Tualatins but still good board
Abit AI7 865PE
another Asus 875P Deluxe
FS Celvin, looks like new PC but its K6-2 in it, WIN98SE stick. Nice design for this era.
and last piece, 35kg weight IBM Intellistation with Power PC 265 Cpu (only 1x), VGA is IBM 4500GXT. Everything atypical of course, but looks working good.

Dude that Abit AI7 has me drooling... I've been looking for one of those babies for a while with no luck... The Asus p4c800 isn't bad either (if it doesn't decide to stop working for no reason like the P4P800 boards do).
