Just bought some old PSUs. One of each: FSP, Delta, HEC. All deliver ~200W on 3.3+5V.
An Apacer IDE DOM (never had one, let's see how they work), a SilImage RAID controler and some other misc parts.

Haven't bought much lately, waiting for an AGP Quadro card to arrive (I think GeForce FX 5200 type) and also a GeForce2 GTS.

Found this online. Bought it for 7 US Dollars. I really hope this one is working. (Sellers picture)

Incredible find! I've been shopping for one for weeks now. I finally found one that they accepted my $20 offer on and it arrived with concealed damage and non-functional (they refunded me). Every one I've found since then has been around $40 or more. My price ceiling is $20 considering it will probably only ever be used for benchmarking.

Yeah... I have seen prices nearly double the last couple of months now. I was given a chock, browsing eBay for the exact same model. The one I found, has not the same amount of ram on it. Just.... The price.... 😳 😳 😳 (Chock'er)

After selling the Compaq 486c Portable I've been trying to find a screen for for 3 years - I went on E-bay and decided to finish off the 486 with these items that have been on my watch-list for awhile

- AMD 80486 DX4-100 100SV8B CPU (basically, a DX4-100 with WriteBack Cache and 8K on-board L1, which I'm fine with), That'll probably get here first. Got it cheap and "untested" though claim of it having been used prior to sale, so most likely the chip will be fine, 486 chips are one of the more resilient CPU I've known. Already have a thermal unit I made using an old Cyrix DX2 heatink and a 3 pin CPU Fan (which strangely the 486 board I have sounds like it has some kind of thermal control feature on it because I HAVE heard the fan speed up and slow down - which is very weird but kinda cool for a VLB era 486).

- 5X 128Kx8 ISSI 32 pin DIP modules for Level 2 Cache, planning to top it out at 512K - these are coming in on a long slow boat from china, I only need 4 but hey, I hear there was a failure rate on these things so a spare is probably not a bad idea. It'll be nice to finally see something other than "None" for L2 Cache at boot time, and with the full half-a-meg performance boost should be at least somewhat noticeable.

- 1x 32Kx8 Motorola 28 pin DIP for the TAG chip for the L2 Cache - Can't have Cache RAM without the TAG.

The board on my beast is the FIC 486-PVT, and that's the top L2 Cache configuration it'll take. I'll see how this DX4 works out, almost playing with running it with a clock doubled 40 or 50 MHz bus. I know my I/O card can handle it, not so sure about the S3 805 video card though.

After the dust settles and payday, it'll be time to purchase 4 32MB 72 pin RAM Modules to max out the ram at 128MB (this is probably the second 486 I've heard of that can carry that much RAM) - and then the 486 is all done, no more parts needed. Anything I buy for it will be spare stuff and backups.

Going to be fun testing this strange board out!

THIS is how it got shipped to me! Damn miracle it survived with so little damage!

I've been watching that board for over a year now. I was wondering who finally bought it. Really interesting to see a socket 5 board with VLB slots! For the premium price, it amazes me these seller pack items so poorly. Good to see it survived though.

Heh, same here. A bit pricey at 60 USD, since I recon it's just going to be used to playing around with, but I need my toys 😜 I'll be testing my Powerleap adapters, Socket 5/7 CPUs and see if I can find some undocumented settings. Would be nice to get a Pentium 233 MMX running, or an AMD K6-III 400mhz along with VLB! I'll also test my VLB SCSI, DRAM & VRAM graphics cards along with the 3D Blaster VLB. I'll post my results here 😀

I bought that huge German part lot with random old/vintage gear that was posted in the Ebay auction thread 10 days ago. Thanks for the tip!

I almost feel bad for not letting someone else buy it as I already have plenty of stuff but the auction never sold and the guy relisted the auction last week and still nobody seemed interested so I bought it an hour ago before everything ends up at the scrappers.

I do have use for the Voodoo 1 cards and the Voodoo 3 PCI and I will tinker with the infamous PC Chips VXPro V3.1. The included AMD K5 PR133 and 4x 16MB EDO is a nice bonus and getting another AWE64 Gold is also nice.

The rest of the stuff will also be useful but its hard to specify for what and when. I guess the Doom 3 thread will see a few new entries.

Shipping a shitload of stuff from Germany to Sweden is about as expensive as shipping 2 CPUs from the US to Sweden it seems...

I will post pictures of everything when the packageS get here.

The sellers list of the stuff included in the lot.

This Virge DX arrived recently.

It will be going through DOS benchmarks and added to my growing list of DOS PCI graphics card results.
One cool thing about this card is that unlike all the rest of the S3's, this one has VBE2.0 built in. Maybe that's something special Diamond did, does anyone know? It also has what looks like 30ns memory, which if true, would make it the fastest VRAM on any of my graphics cards. Curious if it will dethrone the Virge GX as fastest S3 card in DOS.

Good luck with your card, i have two Virge DXs somewhere

All this talk about the ET-6000's, I just thought I would mention that if you're seeking one.. there are multiple versions. There are some with just the onboard memory (no expansion slots), and then there are some with the extra memory slots. Now, the reason this is important is actually these cards run in 64-bit memory mode with only the onboard ram. Installing the two add-on memory chips activates 128-bit mode with these cards. And the memory modules sold separately are usually going for like $50 .. each. At least if you actually manage to find any for sale anywhere. And those were when I last looked in spring 2016, prices. So if you find one that comes with the included memory modules and you think it might be a little more than you were otherwise thinking of, consider that part. Also if you don't have one I would suggest strongly gluing on a heatsink of some kind on these things if not one with a fan. I don't know why they didn't come with one. My ET-6000 with only onboard ram (64-bit mode) runs -REALLY- hot, even just sitting like at ms-dos prompt not even rendering anything. Like I measured 68c with my IR Thermometer on mine after about an hour of working with it in dos, that sort of hot.

So basically speaking. The one I found, is running in 128bit mode then?
And looking at what I payd, I actually feel even more lucky, if the mem prices really are that high or even higher today.
Now... On to find some decent heatsinks now I guess. 😁 Thanks for the tip. 😀 68c does indeed sound a bit crazy.

I picked my ET6000 up in a hardware haul (has the add on memory modules), along with a Voodoo 2 and other misc. cards for 25 bucks last year. 😀

I don't know. The drives are 10k rpm.i bought a 92mm fan to put in my cases hdd cage.
The raid card is a ultra 160 standard with 32mb of ecc ram. But it can use 128mb of ecc ram. So it should be pretty fast a noisy.

I do know that they make some god awful sounds when they start to go bad.
