Hi keropi, I was wondering if it would be possible to receive a confirmation regarding the pre-orders that have been placed for the second batch. I can imagine I'm not the only person here that isn't sure if you received their email, asking to be placed on the waiting list for the second batch. …

I once fried a game port joystick by hot pugging it. Not certain if it was the plugging that did the damage or if the stick was faulty for some other reason. Nevertheless, I've never hot swapped the game port since. ETA: Maybe I'm paranoid, but I avoid hot swapping anything that isn't a USB port. …

I came across a "Lian Li I/O Adapter EX-10 Media Bay" (NOS) on a local online market place and decided to buy it for a whooping 7,50€. It's still in its box, waiting to be installed in a DOS/Win98 build I'm working on (Epox 8KTA3+ / Athlon XP-M 2600+ [Barton] / Ti4200 / Voodoo 2 (12MB) / Audician 32 …

Thanks again and when I get my system up and running, I'll post my experience here to help others out that are in the same situation as me.

Thanks for the suggestion! Do you have an example of a heatsink that I might be able to source more or less easily here in Europe, or might the StarTech one I linked to suffice? I don't like how that one only uses 1 of the 3 clips on each side, as it seems it might damage the socket over time, or is …

I picked up a NMC 8TTX+ motherboard (German version of the Epox 8KTA3+) and a Athlon XP-M 2600+ (AXMG2600FQQ4C, 45W), but am still trying to source a good CPU cooler for the system that will: fit the awkward placing of the capacitors around the CPU socket; isn't painfully loud; still can be picked …

Depending on if there are traces in between the holes where the arches were soldered in, you could even jus use some bailing type wire through the holes and twist it together on the back of …

Long time lurker, first time poster. I appreciate this amazing community. I have an Asus p4GE-FSC (Pentium 4) motherboard that has lost 2 of the metal arches used to hold the chipset heatsink in place. Does anybody have experience with fixing this or know an alternative way that would make this …
