The idea here is of PC assembled only with great dead, bankrupt brands.
Everyone can make his own version, and show it here.
Brands and parts that are still in business of computer hardware are not allowed.
There can be 2 tires of builds:
Class I : all brands on the build to be dead/bankrupt or not to be in PC hardware manufacturing today
Class II : 90% brand parts on the build to be dead/bankrupt, and 10% to be with changed name a.k.a living today under other name
Cyan color = Class I
Red color = Class II
Example of dead brands parts:
CPU - CyriX, Texas Instruments, NexGen, Motorola, WinChip, Fujitsu
MB - ABIT, AOpen, Soltek, SOYO, Chaintech, BFG Tech, DFI, EPoX,
RAM - Infineon,
VGA - 3Dfx, Trident,
Audio - Ensoniq, Aureal
HDD - Quantum, Maxtor, Conner, Fujitsu, IBM, Hitachi
LAN 3Com,
Controller - Gold star
Compaq and IBM PSU, keyboards, mouses, monitors, cases are allowed to be used for both Class.
Chipsets are not included, as is better the chipset to be dead brand, but it will end up using only 4-5 boards..
As i don`t know all the dead brands that does not exist anymore others can help with names and some info.
