Last night I picked up an unused Compaq SK-2860 keyboard including manual - a little newer than my Compaq DeskPro 590 but will give it a fine look. It's almost sad to have to take it out of the bag and unwind the cord... Filename IMG_20231110_125655.jpg File size 1.28 MiB Views 1669 views Filename …

Hi could you post pics of that NQ-4001EX? Incl. inside. It is reported to have 30+ amps rail but without the inspection (and in combination with Barton 2500+) it frankly sounds like a 5V VRM bomb. I have sadly already parted with the computers - I have too many computers and too little time to …

Pickup up a little something for my Digital Venturis 575 which I am giving a Creative touch; sound card and optical drives are both from Creative Labs - so why not add joystick? pic7813723-1.jpg pic7813727-1.jpg It looks like a QuickShot Warrior 5 but had the adjustment sliders in the bottom blinded …

My personal car is a 2004 Toyota Yaris 1.3 which originally were my father's. He wanted almost all extras but didn't like the leather seat design so he asked Toyota to make him leather seats in the fabric design, so it's the only Yaris with these seats (dark grey and cream). It is 19 years old now …

In what context should people recognise her? Was it sold off on a popular platform like Ebay sometime ago? It was sold off on a subsidy to eBay, but I forgot to ask about what it was going to be used for; it's always interesting to hear what people do with the old computers that they have. Also, …

Technically I imagine it is not the graphics card per day that loops, but I have an old Nvidia Riva TNT2 M64 PCI which I previously had installed in my Digital Venturis 575 but then wanted to use in my Compaq DeskPro 590 instead. My memory is a bit wonky, but I do believe I have booted to the Compaq …

No, no, no, I am not talking about RAM here - I am talking about one of my builds which was build by left-over stuff. I had the case for a long time coming from a Lenovo 9171-A19/A61 (Type 9171) - seriously the Lenovo model numbers sometimes confuse me - A19 or A61... on the case it says A19, but …

For a long time the parts for this was simply laying in a box just waiting to be installed! I just didn't have a case. Luckily my cousin gave me an Arctic Cooling Silentium T4 case for the purpose, although it is a bit new. However it looks just great and I can live with that. Inside is put an ASUS …

Here is a little description and some pictures of a retro build I made. It all started at the great clean up I did some years ago where I was taking my old hardware and built them all into cases (when it was possible). One of the first I completed was "Blackie", a sort of scruffed, old, black case I …

The family car is a 2019 Toyota Camry 2.5 Hybrid H4 (top equipment model) - but being a European 2019-model it does miss Android Auto and Apple CarPlay (Corolla and Rav4 can have it retrofitted by Toyota but not the Camry). "We" (my wife) originally wanted an SUV but found the Toyota CHR and Yaris …

is that a period correct IBM coffee cup? :) the set up looks great Nicely spotted! Probably a little older than the Netvista - but I love having it around when seeing up this system (I even have a spare cup for a guest) - the IBM shirt I have is a bit more fitting for the 2002 setup I have. I would …

Here are a bit of my old builds - although most of my builds are somewhat newer. However one of my "favourites" might be my IBM NetVista which I decided upon as I wanted a rig running OS/2 - and what's better to do that than an IBM? This was originally supposed to be a Windows 98 build for me, but …
