TOXiC was the name of my first UV PC way back when. Mid 00s or so, with UV mods bought with money I saved over time. Had to order parts (by phone!!) that the store I worked at didn't have/couldn't get. I poured my heart (and savings) into that build, and in a way I've done the same here. It's not …

Mosfet heatsinks here: https://www.amazon.com/Alphacool-GPU-Heatsink … acool+heatsinks Listed as GPU RAM Heatsinks, but they are so tiny! Too small for BGA Ram modules on a GPU for sure. But the perfect size for Mosfets!

Hey Vogoners, I am writing from my P4 system right now. Have some updated images. Case is still at the powdercoater this week. Hope to get it back soon. Here we go!

Wow, great build. I am curious how you found the 3.4EE? They are awfully hard to come by these days it seems.

Also, I would like to add that I was sparked by some recent LGR and 8-Bit-Guy videos as well as PhilsComputerLab, on YouTube, that got me thinking, maybe this is a good idea....? Honestly, I always thought to myself, I HAVE to be the ONLY person in existence that even cares about this old stuff. And …

Hey everyone, I am new to Vogons, but I love old hardware. In 2002 I bought a 9700 Pro just after launch. It was the best card I have ever owned, and it hangs in a frame to this day. The story there is, I overclocked the crap out of that thing, if I recall it was around 410MHz core clock. Stock was …

Picked up a rare Fire GL X2-256t. This is the 9800XT based FireGL Card essentially. Going in a P4 Retro Box, I was able to find an XP driver that appears to be the equivalent release to the last Catalyst 6.2 that most people are using under XP. We'll see.
