For my 8088 8bitter, I got a Creative SB 2.0, CT1350B rev 4, 1336 bus chip and DSP 2.01.. just waiting on my SAA-1099's so I can program my GAL and add CMS/Game Blaster compatability to it.

Still on my wishlist. I'm hoping that, if I'm patient enough, one of these will fall into my lap. Stranger things have happened. For example, Wales beating Belgium in the Euro championships. Won £100 on that game!

Pretty nice one too 😉

PNY Technologies nVidia Quadro 4 980XGL 128MB (Geforce 4 Ti 4600 @ AGP8x)

Finally I can move away from the Geforce 4 Ti 4200 😀
I love that GPU (4200) but now I want to see what a 4Ti really can do!!

Cool! My main rig!! 😁
My CPU easily hits 3.6GHz with 1.14 volts! They are awesome!

Radeon x1300XT... That's an odd duck! Why did they even bother making it an XT? To me that sounds the same as GeForce 6200GTX 😁

Found a near-mint condition Microsoft "Mouse Port Compatible Mouse 2.1A" at a thrift store near me, so I picked it up for the hell of it 😀

Although I'm more of a trackball guy, it may be nice to have if I have friends using the Retro PC.

Oh well i bought it just cuz of this lonely sad alien 😁

Should be fixed now. Thought I added that picture to a shared album (and could therefore hotlink to the thumbnail), but apparently not.

Bought an atx socket 604 motherboard with dual 3.2ghz Xeons and 4gb of ram. No idea what I am going to do with it yet.

Hmm. . .tempting! Might throw in the 7950x2 I picked up a couple weeks back and make the ultimate uber Windows XP box, because why not. Make the coffee first so I have something to drink while I am gaming hehe 😎

I'm pretty certain that card is capable of 30-bit color. I'm not sure if it can output 30-bit to a CRT like my Parhelia can, but if you find the right monitor, you'll have that added bonus!
