If you like it put a fan on it... I upgraded my P3 gaming machine and placed an 8cm Akasa fan on my graphics card, to cool it down a little bit.

Bought this for 5 EUR. Not exactly my retro flavor, but the price was good, and I believe it is a trade material for something else I would rather have.
Re: Need help with adding a smd capacitor on Voodoo 5 card

OK, so I have soldered a capacitor on the card. When I searched a little bit more, I found this site where it was advised for a C502 capacitor to use 1,3 uF 12V https://hardforum.com/threads/3dfx-voodoo-5-5500-agp-video-card-missing-mlcc-capacitor.1999240/ However when I compared "solder footprints" …

Does anyone know what is the value of a C502 smd capacitor on a Voodoo 5 5500 AGP card? According to this site http://falconfly.vogonswiki.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB320a.html?num=1347523913 the value of C502 shold be 1.5 uF, but is not confirmed. The card itself however works, but I would like to have …

Bought this Socket 478 ECS Elitegroup P4VXASD2+ board with 1,7 GHz CPU and 2 x 256 Mb SDR memory. On the upper left corner, there was, I think, an SMD capactior circuit, which caused a burned trace, so someone fixed the trace with wire. I tested the motherboard and it works, so I won't attempt …

Bought some cards a few days ago. I think that Geforce 6200 256mb PCI card would be nice for some small Pentium 3 system that lacks AGP slot. Just curious: what's the PCIe x4 card in the middle left with an Agilent Technologies chip? I've never seen those two (proprietary?) ports before. Do you …

I've made a bracket - stand; I don't know how else would I name it, to prevent my graphics card from bending too much, due to quite heavy passive heatsink. It was time-consuming, but I like the result in my Windows XP build.

I bought this Geforce 2 MX 200/400. I think it's nothing special, but she seems unused.

Received some small heatsinks today, which I attached to nine mosfets of my Pentium 4 system, that I am building at the moment.

Replaced a fan and 4 capacitors on a Celeron II motherboard. While I had it on a bench, I installed different size CF cards on it, just to write down head, cyls, sect, etc... in my notebook for further use.

Bought this PC today. I thought I was getting some Socket 7 PC based on the looks of the pc, but turned out to be a slot 1 Celeron II system. In the lowest ISA slot, I found a card I don't know what it's for. I searched the motherboard and appears to be AZZA PT-6IET motherboard. Never heard of that …

Bought this PC in the recycling center for a small amount of money. Inside there is an Abit KX7-333 motherboard. Two capacitors have leaked badly, and need to be replaced, along with two or three that have bulged. But she still boots, which is most important.

Bought a 386 PC. I believe the motherboard HOT 307 is beyond repair. However, I will try to fix it, when I have the time. Does anyone have a motherboard like this and could send me some close-up pictures of the traces where the damaged area is?

That printed faceplate looks great. The only downside is that it does not have a smooth surface, due to the printing technology. But I guess this will also improve with time. Will this plastic get yellow?
