Hi! I'm new to this forum. Thought it best to introduce myself and post my rigs and their specs. I'm Alex - PC tech / support guy, and appreciator of general geekery. I enjoy fixing/restoring/collecting old PCs and such. Here are my two favorite machines to share.

Thanks. Only down-side is the NEC has a bad head in the diskette drive, so I'm working on fixing / replacing that drive.

I have a load of junk, but I swear, it's really cool junk.

My pride and joy of my collection is easily my 486. It's one of the coolest builds I have.

CPU: AM486-DX4-100-SV8B OC'd to 120Mhz 40Mhz FSB
RAM: 32MB FPM DRAM (128MB max)
HDD: 2 or 2.5GB WD Caviars EIDE
M/I/O: DTC Dual channel EIDE with RS-232 x2, Centronics, and Gameport VLB
Mobo: EXP-4045 by DataExpert
Video: S3 Trio32 on a 2MB Diamond Stealth SE VLB
Sound: AWE64 based AWE32 (AWE32 with the AWE64 chip on it, really great) ISA

It runs loads, but I am currently running PC-DOS 2000 and Win 3.1 on it, but I only occasionally use Windows, as many Windows games really don't run well on a 486, especially 3D and performance intensives.

I also have a P3 system,
CPU: P3-450Mhz 512k cache, Slot 1
GPU: GeForce 2MX
RAM: 384MB
Mobo: Some intel one e.e
Sound: SB Live! Value
HDD: 40GB WD Caviar 400 (REALLY LOUD)
This one runs Win98SE

I won't flood this forum with loads of specs, but I have a P4 machine, Athlon XP+, Athlon 64x2, IBM EServer 325 and 235, iMac G3 Summer 2000 DV+ Sage, C64&128, and that's about it, unless you count modern stuff.

Welcome to VOGONS! Your systems are really cool and are actually ones that would fit well into my collection (so sleep with one eye open, jk). Hope you have a good time here.
