IMHO Debian is the best option (where possible/supported) for server based platforms. We run a lot of SuSE Enterprise for SAP but I much prefer Debian.
Re: Pentium 200 and Pentium Pro 200 builds. Do I need dedicated CPU fans or are nearby 80mm case fans enough?

I’ve got a few of the overdrive chips but no fan. Can’t find tdp for them but would be very interested to know!

I think only the 1mb Pentium Pro runs hot, I would think a case fan like you have setup would be ok. Pretty sure it runs hot due to Intel removing the gold heat spreader used in the earlier models :( Shame as I honestly prefer the golden look. I did do a quick google. Seems even 36.6W would need a …

Your Pentium 1 heatsink is already pretty large (compared to the stock/OEM one), so a bit of airflow should be heaps.

That is a shame, but it is the right thing to do, although with all retro hardware it does die. But if you purchased working, then it should be working.

Wow! EDIT: Can you benchmark it? Does it work?

I've found a few databases of intel CPUs, I was hoping to do an auto lookup on s-spec but it looks like recent intel CPUs don't have s-spec anymore 🙁

Thanks for the feedback, yes I agree for the more user specific items customisable objects would be useful. Finding the right balance between easy of use and features is always difficult. I'll hopefully get some time over Christmas to work further on it and once it is closer to being ready I will …

Maybe ChatGPT can do it, haha! But in all seriouseness my plan is to have all the standard stuff setup out of the box as separate entities e.g CPUs, GPUs, HDDs, Motherboards etc. Then you can link all the parts together to build a PC. Then you can attach benchmark results to that PC. You can see the …

Yeah I’m interested in your use case as my goal is to handle that correctly in PCB! My day job is running an SAP integration company including production and warehousing so I’m very aware of the fun that is inventory.

For that CPU though, wouldn't you just have a quantity? Do you need a CPU linked to a S-Spec?

This is part of the reason I want to do my own thing, I want to set it up specifically for retro computers and benchmarking and keep it very focused. I think Snipe-IT is very powerful but we are not its target audiance. Saying that, I think it is better than a lot of other options.

It sounds like a really cool idea. My only concern would be that for many people running an instance of Snipe-IT for themselves maybe too much effort/work, but I do really like the idea of everyone being in control of their own data etc. I think I would need to cache the data locally otherwise …

I'm going to continue on PCB in future as I really like the idea of having it so you can compare benchmarks etc, but it needs some serious development before it would be useful for others. What if PCB evolved into an extension for Snipe-IT. A local service accessing the Snipe-IT API to manually or …

I’ve not seen this before. Can you set it to use one vsa100 chip and try again? It’s in the driver settings.

I throw all mine into a self-hosted Snipe-It asset system. I can then check out parts to builds. IMG_2848.jpeg I can also upload files to the database, so drivers for each card or motherboard can be right there on the page. I also have software added like operating systems and applications. I think …

A few years back I was in the process of building a proper database so I could store them, I got as far as CPUs and basic benchmarks, with the goal of allowing everyone to share their own machine and compare results, but I just haven't had the time with work :( It's still up, and one day I will …
