Well.... I just got a load of old hardware, and I finished cleaning it all up.
What I recieved, was a big pile of different hardware, and I am curious about what is working and what is not.
Just finished testing the pc-66/100/133 modules, now for the rest of the hardware.

I got the following:

1 x SB-Live.
1 x Sb16-Value Edition.
6 x TNT2 AGP (not pro, and all passive cooled)
1 x TNT2 Pro AGP (Diamond Viper V550)
1 x Radeon 9550 AGP
1 x Radeon 9600 AGP
2 x Cirrus Logic 5446 PCI
1 x S3 Trio32 PCI
1 x S3 Trio64 PCI
3 x 72-Pin Memory modules (16 and 32 megabyte, not fully tested)
20 x PC-66/100/133 Memory modules (all tested, yet not cataloged)
4 x DDR1 Memory modules (not tested not looked at)
1 x Orchid Voodoo1
1 x Creative Video Blaster MP400 CT6080 (CDI Mpeg1 Decoder Card)
IBM/ADAPTEC SCSI (I asked about this here on the forum)
4 x AMD Slot-A CPU's And A Intel 387-40MhZ Math processor.
3 x Socket 478 Intel CPU's (1 x Celeron and 2 x P4)
Plus A pile of old Fan's

Later this month, I will recieve the last of the haul.
Wich contains a lot of heavy stuff, such as 10+ SCSI harddrives, 3 SCSI CD-Burners.
Computer speakers, cables, SCSI pin converters and 5.25 inch hotswap harddrive bay's.
A complete Slot-1 HP vestra machine with 2 ISA slots on the motherboard.
Plus A LOT of other stuff that I can not remember right now.

Should I keep some, or keep all of it? I got more memmory now, and more TNT2 cards now, that I can ever use.
(BTW, Got it all for free 😜 )

Don't eat stuff off a 15 year old never cleaned cpu cooler.
Those cakes make you sick....

I don't see anything particularly interesting there other than the Voodoo 1 and *maybe* the Radeon 9600.

If you find that you have a lot of extra junk like me, head on over to amibay and say that the stuff is free + ship.

Radeon might be too fast for what I am aming at. I am trying to get together computerstuff from around mid 90's to around 2001.
I am using stuff like super socket 7 motherboards, voodoo pci's, Dos/98 stuff and so forth. All retrocomputing.
For modern computing, I have my Windows7 laptop (homebanking, E-Mail and so).

Keep it all you never know when you might use it.
If you got room that is.

I have room for all of it. My home is really hot as it is without A/C, and this summer it is really dry too.
So the stuff would not stop working for a long time at my place. Might just keep everything after all.
