These are Slot 1 CPUs, I've ditched the Slot 2 idea entirely.

Little bit of a bump and update: I've got most of the parts together for this build now, but I'm still having a few issues (mostly finding a case that will fit the giant motherboard, but I think I have that covered finally). The P3 500s I have both came with these enormous passive heatsinks that are …

Do you have the luxury of a source that has pretty much any vintage tower case available to choose from? If you're referring to somewhere local I could find a case, no. I'm kinda stuck with what pops up on eBay, etc. I had been looking at this case ( https://www.ebay.com/itm/276798261354 ), which I …

I am trying to find a case large enough for my WIP dual Pentium III workstation build, but I'm having a hell of a time finding a full tower ATX case large enough for my LG440x+ motherboard. I've seen a couple Thermaltake and Antec cases on eBay for outrageous prices so I'm just wondering if you all …

Got the T500 and the L440GX+ motherboard this weekend. The T500 needs cleaned up pretty bad but is working otherwise. Someone physically ripped the HDD cage out of the machine so that's lovely. I've decided to get a larger ATX case for the motherboard, there's just not enough clearance in the T500 …

I keep cycling between my two musical personalities - alternative metal and synthpop (wonder what that says about me as a person). Any other Devin Townsend fans here? I also listen to a lot of Nine Inch Nails - managed to score tickets to see them this summer - more than enough Linkin Park, and some …

Thanks for the reply. I threw some bids on a few FX 5000 series cards (I think two FX 5200s and another I don't remember).

Little update: I purchased an Intel L440GX+ motherboard on eBay for what I felt was a decent price. No AGP which kinda sucks but I'll live. I'm going with dual Pentium 3 500s (Katmai) and 2GB of RAM. The capacitors look good from what I could see. Everything I've found says a standard ATX …

I am building a dual slot 1 workstation and plan on installing Windows 2000. I'm going with two Pentium III 500s and 2GB of RAM. What is the best (or at least a good) graphics card for a system like this? I don't have an AGP slot so that kinda limits my options. Looking for something that would …

I decided to pick up a Dell Dimension XPS T500. It's coming with a P3 500 but I'm planning on swapping in a dual Slot 1 motherboard and going with either dual P2 450s or P3 500s depending on what board I get. Obviously I will keep the SE440BX-3 as a backup. I'll pick up a more modern PSU for it. I'm …

Thanks for the replies and suggestions. I've put eBay saved searches out for every 440GX motherboard I could find a model number for. There's a NIB C440GX+ on eBay right now but the seller wants $300 for it :grimacing: I'm having more trouble finding individual computers that would've had a Slot 2 …

Hello everyone, I've been a longtime lurker here but decided to finally make an account. I am wanting to build a Pentium II Xeon workstation sometime this year - for no reason other than it being cool - and I need some advice or suggestions on how to get there. Most of my vintage computing …
