Can't be the chipset though, OEM's liked to simply switch some of the wires/pins around 😜

Are these cases being manufactured? Or are they all just old stock?

I have just about everything I've wanted to get. It's been a decade in the works, occasionally buying hardware and also getting a lot of old computers for free from people. But eventually you'll have everything you've ever wanted (unless you're RG100 in which case it never ends!!!!) I think I'm …
Who else here hoards "insane" amounts of hardware?
Posted on 2011-05-20, 18:50
Yesterday someone asked me what it is I actually do with all that hardware I have laying around, and a couple of my friends have mentioned that my hardware collection is almost beyond insane and I should start my own computer shop :P The thing is, I'm a hoarder. Always been. I used to collect lots …

Considering the CPUs an 810 mobo can be used with, the lack of AGP isn't a major problem in retrospect. There are a number of good PCI options for hardware like that. I've heard mixed things about i810. One source claims the IGP can't be upgraded while others state a PCI graphics card will work (IF …

A question to anyone here familiar with the i810 and i815 integrated graphics: is there a way to get widescreen resolutions on this? Why not use a dedicated graphics card? i815 has the AGP 4x slot, making any graphics card fit, and the i810 is not really worth it upgrading for use on a widescreen …

Got a nice haul yesterday. From various sources I've received no less then 6 computer cases, 5 of which with parts! :D The haul includes 2 EX slot 1 boards (a 3rd one had leaking caps) with onboard Matrix G200, one s370 Compaq board with probable support for Tualatin, couple small harddrives (half …

The PCB's look almost 100% identical. Only difference I spot are a couple caps and resistors on the right side and of course the dual DVI on the left. If you get one, very nice, but otherwise not worth it to shell out big for if you ask me.

Surely there were much faster cards then 6326, but there were lots of even worse too You mean....there exists a graphics card on this earthly plane that's *gasps* even slower?!?!? Surely, 6326 must be teh slowest AGP card ever made?? LOL @Donutking The problems you're describing also sounds like …

You mean, it powered up but you got no display and not a single beep? Have you tried another PSU? And if it's the PSU (meaning the one you were using is defective), make sure you don't use it again as it might damage some of your precious motherboards 🙁

Iiuc the early Dell ATX boards all used proprietary power supplies. And about the Dell Live!, I may have 1 or 2 of them laying around here also. They seem to be really hard to get working as none of the usual drivers would work. I have a box full of various Creative Sound Blaster 16's/vibras, and no …

I have a couple of spare AT cases with the MHz LED display on the front, salvaged from dump or side of the road.

Is PIII Xeon socket 370? I wonder how that would go in gaming tests. P III Xeon is Slot 2 I think So it's a Coppermine with a nice heatspreader and support for Tualatin bus specs? Yup, until very recently I thought FC-PGA2 == Coppermine-T, but apparently Intel had to do it in some special way again …
