Love to see it! Thanks for sharing, great collection. That gold one is something else 😍

Here you go, some Lian Li cases and accessories circa 2002.

Just arrived, brand new Lian Li PC-6083A fresh in box after 20+ years. Mint condition of course. Incorrectly labeled and priced on eBay, this was so cheap I couldn't say no!

Definitely keep a look out on eBay etc the silver drives are around, that's where all of mine have come from. Optical drives seem to have a high failure rate these days though, a lot of sellers don't test them properly. But of course some silver spray paint is an easy solution too if you don't mind …

Wow that looks nice. If i had to guess, anodized aluminium parts and hydro-dipped plastic bits on the front. Very cool. The only similar thing I'm aware of is the 'copper' version Lian Li did - https://hexus.net/tech/news/chassis/8986-lian … pensive-copper/

This is a new part of my "computing area", sort of adjacent I suppose. I put up some storage racking recently so I can finally put all of my builds in one place, along with some spares. It's good because organised, but bad because this is getting out of hand 😅

What gives it away? In my case it was the bridges. I've attached what a genuine 3000+ looks like and the fake 3200+ I had. Look closely at how the bridges are cut and joined on the fake chip. Those are not factory! You can also look up how the bridges should be configured for the chip in question …

That's very interesting. It reminds me of some fun I had with a 3200+ chip I bought earlier this year. It turned out to be a fake! There were loads of these floating around back in the day apparently. By altering the bridges on the chip it's quite easy to make it think it's something else, and …

I would have thought any modern ATX PSU will work for that board and that card, although you might need something like a SATA -> 4-pin Molex connector if the PSU doesn't have any 4-pin Molex connectors.

What about the power supply, could that be a problem? You should be able to run the system with a normal ATX supply to help rule that out.

Something is definitely not right with that system, my experience with mine was it basically just worked and Win98 has been quite happy. If you haven't already, try updating or re-flashing the BIOS in case it's become partially corrupt perhaps. And different memory for sure, as you say maybe there's …

Have you checked the motherboard for bad caps, or anything else not quite right? The SB0100 is a fine card (details on here http://www.dosdays.co.uk/topics/sb_live.php), it will work with Joesph's driver guide here - Guide: Installing Windows 9x and DOS drivers on Sound Blaster Live! cards (version …

When I was building the SN45 for my friend I had issues trying to run memory in dual channel. The modules would pass memtest ok when installed individually, but failed when in dual channel. The solution to that was knocking back the speed and running the memory at 166/333MHz. It might also be that …

I picked this up on Saturday - a brand new Iiyama Vision Master Pro 452! I first bought one in 2001, with I believe the first paycheck I ever received. It was epic then and it's just as epic now, such a lovely bit of kit, and so pleased to have found the perfect one after searching for about 2 …

Speaking of sound, I'd recommend putting a proper card in there. I had some issues with some games, from glitches in Midtown Madness to no sound at all in Black Hawk Down.
