A dual p3 with scsi... hmm. Literally EVERY board I know of in this era has an Adaptec chip. I'd wager money on the AIC-7899w. That part is in the HCL for win 2k. Don't do the F6 part, see what happens. If it isn't the 7899, which chip is it? if that isn't the issue, is the drive properly terminated …

Not really a dumpster find, but I found this in a box at the local recycler, so I can probably get it really cheap. This worth getting? Tyan Thunder K7 S2462. Looks like AMD 760MPX chipset, 2 unknown Athlon MP's with heatsink/fan, and 2 sticks of memory. ftp://ftp.tyan.com/datasheets/d_s2468_150. …

@moawkwrd love that antec case in the middle. I had a black one and crammed a P4 inside it. I would not mind getting another.

its almost like they might frequent these forums, and hear about how some people want them.

Watch, it will be old cell phones. Even I miss my first smart phone, the G1 (HTC Dream). I can get one off ebay for $20, but it will just be a paperweight. shame really.

I don't see the point in hoarding hardware. It's all homogeneous after 2000 and can be easily run in a virtual machine. I have one super P4, P3, etc. Past that, I only get things that are unique. I don't miss CRTs. I don't miss 98. But that's just me.

Got this setup from craigslist for free: http://i.imgur.com/6YOYnXxm.jpg http://i.imgur.com/7oTodjHm.jpg My very first new case I ever had was this case for Xmas 2001. I happily put my Asus P3B-F and P2-450 (@600) and it was a very happy xmas. Now I have the case again. Inside was a 1.2ghz AMD chip …

Looks fantastic. I was soaping up my Gateway 450 plastic panels today as well. Bleach for the ink spots. Some ink is so ingrained into the white plastic I can't get it to even fade, but all the plastics look much better regardless. ... Magic erasers! or use a toothbrush and a baking soda paste. …

it isn't hard. Honestly, I do it often. Cases and whole systems aren't worth shipping unless they are something odd. eg IBM ps/2's, special proprietary cases. I buy used anti-static bags on ebay by the pound. I save peanuts and bubblewrap from things I receive. The parts are worth re-selling, and …

Saw a 286 at the recycler, but decided to pass. It was a little older than I like playing with (honestly haven't touched one since I was 6 or 7) and I'm running out of space! It sounds like the will be re-selling it, so I'm sure it will find a good home. FAIL The correct action is to get it, and …

Tearing down a keyboard and cleaning every part in hot soapy water is really therapeutic. SO MUCH BETTER.

These chips are my favorite. All previous comments are correct. If you are interested in benchmarks look here: http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?p=293864 Their drawbacks 1. POOR 16-bit performance 2. Relatively expensive 3. Parts are uncommon and are usually server parts 4. no agp But the pros: ( …
