''hardware busy'' here lately 😀
Another visit to the scrapper today. He was selling a xeon x3450 (i7) and x3210 (core2quad) together for 35 euro so had to have them. Great upgrade material for little money!
While i was there i had to snoop around ofcourse. Oh boy.... I collected a few voodoo's (i thought it went GREAT, finding those) and i had 3 voodoo1, 2x voodoo2, a v3 pci and av3 3000 agp.
After looking at them in daylight i decided i had to put them back. The v3 pci was extremely dirty and had missing caps and had a damaged ram chip. v1 and v2 cards had some legs on the chips damaged, not only touching but some were broken or completely gone 😢
I took home the v3 3000 (only missing one cap, no further damage) and one voodoo1. They are cheap but not free so i had to make choices.
The v3 agp works, even without one cap. Wil recap it. The voodoo1 i will test but after straightening some ''legs'' there seems to be a loose one. Hopefully that one has no use 🤣
Also picked up a super 7 board (only saw 1 after 2 visits, they are much rares than normal s7). It has no bios chip and is missing one component. Will make a topic and hopefully i can fix it.
It is a MSI 5169, not my brand but i'll try and save any super 7 i find.
Also found three slotkets there today. 2 for coppermines and one for celeron only. All working. Just bought 2 new ones this week so i have enough slotkets now i think 😎
Last but not least: A working Fx5600ultra agp (joehoee, no damage!) and i found a (msi) NX6800ultra agp!!! It was missing the heatsink/fan and only had the ram heatsink (with minor damage).
Could not resist and took it, hoping it would still work...
At home i put on a very small heatsink/fan (only attached by paste) and then i saw a missing cap. Well, whatever, still wanted to see if it gave an image. IT DID!!!
Did shut it off imediately so no extensive testing yet but at POST there were no artifacts.
I have a dead 6800gt which will be the donor for the missing cap and it also has a zalman which will be transferred to the ultra. Hopefully it will still work fine in 3D!
For the 2 voodoo's, the 2 nvidia's, 2 mainboards (also had a 386 dx40 missing bios chip), and a intel dx4-100 cpu and the 3 slotkets i paid only 20 euro. 🤣 🤣 🤣
Cheap, but always a gamble...
