My first external module. Now I just have to wait for it to arrive.

Nice, I have the same one (also my first module 😀 ). The differences with the SC-55 aren't that great, and the price is right! I hope you have fun with it!

Wasn't sure if I did ok on the price, but considering so few games need anything beyond the basic Roland GM patches, I figured it would be a good first buy.

Yes, I have this one as well and the sound is excellent. Comparing to my SC-55 MKII, I think it actually sounds more accurate; it always sounds like my MKII is off-key, but the MKII may also be defective. The two GM sets should sound identical, I believe.

You got a really good price on it. I compared tracks like WC2 and the GM sounds the same.

My newest system. Pentium MMX overclocked to 188mhz, SB16 first gen, 4gb drive, ATI/A card 3.5mb vram.

Uh oh. How do I resize a pic? If a mod could do that, it would be great.

You can do it in Paint or just take your pictures in a lower resolution next time.

Gimp/Photoshop/Paint.NET/etc (basically any image editor) can also do it (the "next step" if it isn't apparent is to re-post the new, lower resolution image). And some image hosting sites can also resize for posting (photobucket does, for example). 😀

Imgur also will give you resize options. If you put "l" before the .jpg extension, it will look like this:

Hope that helps!

Cool, nice score. Working V5's are getting less common I think.

Didn't know DEC made PC's. RIP DEC btw

Bought the classic ATC Coolermaster case which was the one to have back in the day. This is to house my ~1999/2000 build which is bursting at the seems.

Ebay photos, waiting for seller to post.

Mmmm, Cooler Master ATC series. If I remember right the folks behind those cases went on to form/contribute to Silverstone as we know it today. What all is going into that beauty foey?

Will keep an eye out for it - sounds like it'll be an awesome build though. 😀

SB Pro 2.0 (NIB). Not sure how people feel about sealed collecting on Vogons, but I couldn't pass up this one to keep sealed.

I sensed he was a fellow traveler. So hard to pass up NIB hardware at such low prices (although the SB wasn't cheap). I'm working on a sealed Intellivision game collection, and the affliction is carrying over to PC hardware.

I have got bought:

These Self-adhesive motherboard pillar stand-offs (they getting rare to get)

And this Creative AWE64 CT4500, because it was cheap, and leave it at my stock pile. (could always come the handy in near future)

And some atmel 28C64 eeproms to flash new ones for my other floppy card.

Also bought three of these asrock motherboard and are delivered
