ya that one is over double of what I paid. I guess difference is ess and essfm vs crystal and crystalfm. 20mb ram vs 64mb ram both can load sfs in dos Wavetable header on card, vs needing a front panel bay Otherwise very similar. Which one is better I guess depend on opinion of ess fm vs crystalfm …

Been wanting one for awhile now. They rarely come up for auction anymore, and the ones that I've seen have been a whole lot more than I offered for this one. Pretty dirty looking but I guess thats how you hope to find things from non collectors. Doesn't do SB16 whatever still it's quite a lot better …

less about nostalgia and more of a necessity when dealing with older hardware and software.

if you had firewire and a dvd drive connected through that it would reduce cpu utilization. Since integrated IDE will use more cpu than a Firewire controller will.

Make the listing as Vague as possible, regarding the details of the condition of the item. Post a shitty picture of the item. Jack the price way up just because economy inflation and hey everyone else is doing it. Last but not least make sure that the listing includes words like RARE, Ultra Rare, …

no but there are other cd emulators that work on 95. As long as you have defeated the scure rom any cd emulator should work.

Wiki said that original cd is secure rom DRM, which can be defeated with "Atlantis II v1.0 [INTL/ALL] CD-Copy/Fixed EXE" I wont link it but I found it on googles. However you still need the CD to play the game. So you should be able to make a ISO with alcohol 120 and mount the iso so it reads it off …

personally would stay clear of t43 since i own one and go for the t41 or t42. issue mainly is heat and poor cooling. the chasis are the same for t41-t43 the difference is they kept stuffing faster and hotter running hardware and did nothing to change the thermal design. maybe the t43 cpu heatsink …

ya i didn't know anything about them when I found them other than they were Japanese, but I know enough about fan specs to think that they must of been pretty good fans.

That Alpha computer is pretty cool man, hope you have fun with it. I bought a CT2230 for 16.50 not a bad price these days. TLDR its probably the best sb16 model. I also got an AGP all in wonder x800 with all of the cables, including the special vivo cable for 75.00 Card worked. That a good price for …

I like that the power button has power written on it. Kinda reminds me of cringe mac fanboy meme that can't find the power button on a PC.

3M thermal tape. Ya you could remove them, I didn't use glue. I'm not sure what the cure time is though. I was thinking of sitting them outside in the sun 1 afternoon just to make sure it gelled properly before installing them. They recommend twisting them back and forth a little while applying …

Heatsinks arrived. probably not perfectly centered but not the worst. I'm sure they'll work just fine.
