Bought this from a friend for 25€ + shipping, but before you flip out it's non functional, very dirty and the screen is clearly messed up beyond repair. It also emits a weird smell and some kind of grease is leaking from the damaged portion of the screen. Not sure if I can fix it, but I will try someday.

It is a beautiful machine, even with all it's faults. Congrats !!!
Got a working RDRAM board at last. Can't believe I had to wait 2 years for one to pop up here.
I got a Geforce 2 Ultra today! Super happy as they seem to be un-buyable :0
Unfortunately its dead 🙁 Will see if I can repair it.
bought this 10 bucks, fic va-503+ with cooler and a k6-2 350.
not sure if its a good revision of the board, 1.1b
4*1GB DDR II Corsair, for a mid XP battlestation.
1 Arctic -cooling VGA Silencer, the version that fits the 9700 Pro. I tried getting the heatsink off of my original ATI 9700 pro, but its not so easy to get it off. I'll leave it for the moment. I have another Arctic cooler on my other (Hercules) 9700 Pro, so this one is more of a backup.
1 Hot air station
1 Hakko Soldering station
1 Asrock 774i65GV/DC/AM/ASR, needs partial recap, 2*512 MB ram
1 Geforce 6600GT with bridge
You gonna love the hot air station when you have to encounter RoHS solder! Congrats. 😀
Also handy when opening phones and tablets. Did a Microsoft Surface Pro 4 and 5 just yesterday.
i386 16 ⇒ i486 DX4 100 ⇒ Pentium MMX 200 ⇒ Athlon Orion 700 | TB 1000 ⇒ AthlonXP 1700+ ⇒ Opteron 165 ⇒ Dual Opteron 856

Completely agree. A hot air station and a real soldering station is a gamechanger.
Now you just need an electric vacuum pump powered solder sucker and you will be set.

I'll be getting a few sound modules that I haven't seen any game tests with anywhere. One of the modules I have only been able to find a couple pictures of... not even a single youtube video or regular review of it anywhere that I could find.
The mfg doesn't even have any documentation for it that I could find. Couldn't even find any ads.

Enter the Hakko FR801 😀
I got the hot air and the Hakko soldering iron second hand, but the FR801 is newly bought.
Edit: after a full day of cleaning and arranging (a good husband spots the evil eye before it hits): this is the repair-post:
What's that mobo? I can see 478 and PCI-E made by ASUS in a uATX format, but as far as I could find, the P4GD1 is the only one I found, and that is full ATX.

P4RD1-MX, it's in bad shape.

Looks like micro atx to me.
Picked two Diamond cards.
If anyone has a newer BIOS file for the Stealth 24, please share it!

great picks!!!
there was no BIOS update on the diamond website for the Stealth24 or the speedstar pro so the only hope IF a newer bios exists is someone dumping it...

It is a dual Gameport card. The little box with the knob is for adjusting to work with different speed computers.
There were two styles of adjustable gameport cards. Those with switches or jumpers and those with adjustment potentiometers like the Gravis Eliminator.
They all pretty much became obsolete as the newer gameports are not speed sensitive.
That being said, I have a bunch of Gameport cards, including a few of the Gravis Eliminator cards.
I thought that's more depending on the game wether you need a speed compensating gameport or not?
I used one of these cards back in the day on one of my computers. I don't remember even having to readjust it for different games but that was over 20 years ago so maybe my memory is failing.
I don't actually have one installed in a computer right now.
Ordered today a Slot 1 AT motherboard, and a Slot1-SKT370 adapter with Celeron CPU.
Also included is a slot for PS2 and IR USB ports.
The motherboard has SiS chipset, 1 AGP 2X slot, 3 PCI slots and 2 ISA slots.
Integrated audio (crystal chip) should be present, and possibly an AMR modem connection.
I don't think it's a PCChips, but maybe it's PCPartner ?, I have to do a search to identify it exactly, and to look for the manual, if anyone knows what MB is they could kindly tell me make and model (or possibly where to find the manual).
It should ship in a couple of days, and arrive within a week.
The MB is sold as being tested, but I hope it will be functional.
