Found a video cross-converter that supposedly supports ALL PC resolutions up to 2048x2048, HD resolutions up to 1080 and refresh rates up to 250Hz for cheap.

Anybody care to guess what brand and model it is?

Not going to post full details until it arrives and I have a chance to test it because, if it works like it says it does, I want to order a second one to have for a backup.

Is it an extron unit by any chance?

These two showed up today. I been looking at the Korg's for a while now and saw these two listed together for the price that NS5R's seem to be going at. Thinking of selling on the Roland to cover the cost of the Korg. Will obviously try it out and try and get some recordings before doing that.

The hell.... What is these front panels on the 5.25 place ? I like all possible front panels i can get and put on my machines, like fan controller such as Scythe Kaze master pro, Cooler Master Musketeer 2 and Musketeer 3, Creative Sound Blaster panels and other things that mostly for the looks, not the functionality...

??? These don't go in 5.25" Bays? They are General Midi Units.

Nope. 😈

untested
i saw it on a case, asked the price, she said $15, i said ok ill take it, took my screwdriver...removed from case,took heatsink off and it even came with a K6-III 400 MHz (not plus) end of story so far

FIC PA-2013
nice super socket7, and i think the revision is 2.0

That was a good buy, get another five.

So what then? You duct tape them to the side of your case and they make game soundtracks into authentic porn quality schmoozak? 😉

Have you considered Googling the makes + models? Because these are external MIDI modules, not something you stuff into your PC. 😐

Nice motherboard. I really do need to get a SS7 board for benchmarking stuff at some point. My oldest system with AGP right now is my Pentium2

That's a nice board, I think. How much cache is that?

Seems that way, i did never liked that type of hardware it is retarded, you need to find more space for them, no thanks, i prefer front panels on 5.25 bay... He will use tape to put it on the case how "nice"....

Not much time for that + in firt place they did look like 5.25 inch things, but external no thanks, you need to glue them on some side of the PC case not nice..

Please stop trolling.

Or do you also glue printers to your computer case? 🤣

Trolling ?!? Just when someone does not like stuff like that is trolling ? I don`t like external USB dacs, things like the ones from the picture and whole...
Printers are other things that at least are doing some work. And monitors, keyboard, mice, audio speakers all are doing more so no i don`t tape them, because they at least do something...

You have no clue what you are talking about, do you? Stupidity or trolling, when it becomes disruptive there's not much difference.

What about i don`t care about external things ? I just put sound card inside the PCI, maybe a front panel and that is nothing more so ? I did ask if that are front panels, because they did look like ones, if they ar enot i don`t care at all. And i don`t care about them "improving" the audio quality because is total crap, and i don`t bite that simple as that.......

It is my opinion that the way you communicate is direct, argumentative and a bit rude. You might want to consider toning it down a bit, you are not making many friends.

@yawetaG @badmojo @BitWrangler @Bancho - give him a break guys. Most young people going into the hobby are not going to know what an external midi module is.

@Radical Vision - those are external midi synths. They greatly increase music quality in games with midi music. They contain realistic samples of instruments. Here's a video about these external synths: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMmFcs-_4x4

Here's duke 3d on opl3 (generic sound card) vs various external and internal synths like the SC55, MT32 and so on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFX63IGmbwY

They can really make games like Dune 2 or Monkey island sound much, much better. Here's what the Dune 2 soundtrack sounds like on a MT-32: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQADZeB-z8M&t=842s - my favorite example - and here is the same soundtrack played by a generic OPL3 sound card (adlib in this case): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WKBjmJCBHw&t=740s

^this. Although some forum member's reaction is a bit offensive.

Lets try to inform and educate, not belittle.

Im not sure why you did get to that conclusion just after my comments, my nick name is there it is explain everything...
And about the friends, you think i care ? I did reg. here just to find more intel about some systems and parts, not to make friends, and to show my progress on whatever i do, because i think to make one day some museum, real or internet based one with galleries, while most people here and most sites and places are collecting all of the items just for themselves, while i don`t....
I have my ways to find great hardware, while i don`t pay much money, or no money at all, do you think i need friends, or im better alone....

This community isn't your personal library or e-Display case. If you have nothing to contribute to the community your just a drain. We have enough of those as it stands.

@TheAbandonwareGuy... oh come on! Do you have to be such a moralist... Thats so annying, you're acting like a "little sheriff wannabe".
Like on "Ebay auctions" thread, you're the firs one to judge and call other users, that don't act in the way you like "scumbags, morons etc." You're the same user as everyone else.
