Found an AT-Case locally (same region of my country) online for sale. 12 US Dollars plus shipping. (sellers pictures)
The case is complete with the caseshield/cover, though the case has one tiny bend and one tiny scratch.

Well, I just watched, because I couldn't afford to participate, as an, 'as new, K5 PR200', from Indiana went for $415 on eBay, which is about £295, to which you'd have to add ~£63 in import charges and postage, so about $504 / £358 to my door here in the UK.

For a processor best suited to Windows 95, that's just mad, has to be a collector, and it will likely gather dust in a vacuumed sealed bag, if I owned it, then it would have actually been used.

So I just bought a K5 PR166 from Italy, which including Postage has cost me just $28.20, or £20.02 in real money.

Much more sensible.

There's zero sense for a person with shallow pockets to dish out for such items.
On the other hand given the fun I had with the 486s and Pentiums I would pay around €5000 per board if i had the money... so much fun & learning.
The K5/166 is a total blast... it was one of the first "vintage" cpus I acquired.

Beautiful looking case! Tiny scratches and bends just add character. 😜

Yeah... It is a typically mid-90's AT case, if I remember correctly. I have a problem though...
I can't decide if I will be using the case for a rebuild of my 5x86-133 or my dx4-120.

However. This purchase, allows me to get rid of my last two A-Open cases (HQ-45 and HX-45)
I was really thinking hard, on what AT system, that I wanted to transfer to one of those cases.
In order to free up one of my AT cases for my future 486dx33 build.

Hah, I didn't think anyone ever shipped a Voodoo card with drivers on floppy. Those might be interesting to image & upload if they're not online already.

I made the 2 images but I don't think it's anything special 😵

I don't know what the hell it is! It has a short cable and an 8-pin connector (3-3-2). No markings on it anywhere. 😕

3-3-2 and a short cable hints to a Sun mouse. Let me know if you don't need it. 😉

Well, there was another one I left behind, no Sun computers though. It could be some proprietary mouse for CAD/terminal use as most of this HW was used in industrial automation back in the day.

Isn't that the first Radeon card? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATi_Radeon_R100_Series Sometimes they're being referred to as the 'Radeon DDR'. I do know they're common, eBay is full with them.

The style is much more the end of the 90s. I would put an at based k6 into it.

Snagged a ASROCK 4CoreDual-VSTA motherboard (LGA 775 with AGP 8x that supports C2Q up to QX6800) for cheap. Seller says the CPU socket is broken but , but it looks to me like they just have the retention lever jammed as there are 0 bent pins from the closeup of the CPU socket and in all the pictures the retention lever is all the way open.

I hope it works. Pretty sure it is the fastest AGP board ever made despite the poor overclockability. I think the max speed possible on a good sample is about 3.45Ghz.. but that would be pretty unlikely to be obtainable without a voltage mod as there are no voltage settings in the BIOS.

Or maybe it can go faster. Found a modded BIOS that adds Wolfdale support at least up to e7600. It also adds 4GB DDR2 support up from the default 2GB. 😀
That should allow up to about 3.6Ghz I think. (315x11.5)

The only "faster" board made I think was the 4CoreDual-SATA2 and the only real difference is that it supports SATA2 instead of just SATA1.

Also have another single board GTX295 on the way for even cheaper than the faulty one I bought and returned.

And I have another ASUS P5A-B now. This one is v1.03 while the other one I have is a v1.04. Got this board last week but just got around to testing it today.

That's an ATi VGA Edge. It's a cut down version of the VGA Wonder 16. It was also sold as the EGA Wonder 800+ when the VGA connector and RAMDAC were removed.

Got this ATI Mobility card with the retail box and whatnot. Always thought cards like this would've been some cheap OEM part and not sold separately.

Also got this Quickdraw 3D card that I've never heard of until I saw it. Gives me a good reason to find a Macintosh now.

Still blows my mind that they not only used mobile Rage chips on an AGP card, but that they actually advertised them as such with the Mobility name left intact.

Now for some blitting from the back buffer.

Yes thats not the pinout of a sun mouse... also sun mice need 3 buttons. Are you looking for one? 😉
