Picked up something free from a buddy. Kinda interesting and seems oddly rare. It's a Radeon (R100) 32MB SDR All-in-Wonder PCI version. Most of the R100 AIW were agp and with DDR, where as this is not only PCI but SDR. 🤔 Filename PXL_20240731_020901584.jpg File size 1.91 MiB Views 498 views File …

Got this mid 2000 computer with a ABit Fatal1ty AN8 SLI and a fully working Abit Guru Panel. I think I'll put my X850 PE in it and dual boot Windows 98 (IDE) / XP (SATA). Very excited! ABIT.jpg Not sure what the sound card is with the yellow and purple ports is. Maybe some sort of add-on for AN8. …

Holy hot dog, miracles do happen. Another $36 ebay card. This monster was listed as "as/is no video". It was in such beautiful condition I thought I'd use it for a display piece or rob the heat sink and fan for another card. Fan needs a drop of oil but other than that it works flawlessly. Crazy... …

Picked up this rough beauty as a dead /bad caps ebay buy for 35$ on a gamble. Surprisingly it worked!! It does need three caps replaced. I did finish a full round of 3DMark2001 and the caps actually tested slightly over rated capacity crazy enough... PXL_20240727_020433877.jpg PXL_20240727_020639655 …

I don't think that P601 3-pin connector is actually a fan, from where the traces route off to: https://www.vgamuseum.info/index.php/cpu/item/259-nvidia-geforce4-ti-4600 I think it's more likely to be coax TV-out or something like that... *later* Huh, did you know a full schematic for the NV25 P80 ( …

Picked up this red hot 🔥 beast Ti4600 Golden Sample recently. Anyone know to get the three pin power connector to work?? The original cooler works just fine, but I'm not getting any power from the three pin connector. Maybe it's a software switch or something? PXL_20240721_002411431~2.jpg PXL_ …

So I picked up this really interesting brand new Asus GeForce 2 Ti GPU from ebay.(yes it has a cooler I just took it off) I really wanted to snap it up because it was the only card I could see with 4ns ram!! Interesting points 1: has a 150nm GTS Core?, but it marked with Ti VX. 2: it has a lower …

I ended up getting the Novint falcon controller, i was aware of its existence at the time of the orange box but somehow i completely forgot about it even though i always loved the idea behind it. I got lucky, the seller wanted to get rid of it and sold it for cheap, there's only one thing missing …

I also picked up a Pristine Ati Rage Fury Maxx for the amazing price from eBay... except I didn't.... because even though I bought the listing within 2mins of it being posted, the seller said it was out of stock and didn't send it to me. 🙁 🙁 mega sketchy....

Just picked up this beauty 😍. 5900 ultra. One of the fans needs some grease but should be fine. 👍 Only two cards left to go in the FX series for the collection.

Reunited with my own ti4800 after gifting to a friend 14 years ago. I asked it back. Lmao. I am hopeful it still works and that is not actually a SE. Yes, the heatsinks are horrendous. I was a dumb kid. I will remove them and restore the original look. Please send advice on how to remove "Arctic …

P4 2.6GHz/400MHz SL6PP That should be a good cpu, its on the support list. This board is extremely picky about everything. It can't handle a lot of power to the cpu either because no P4 power connector. I have the exact same board but the ECS P4VMM2 version. I would recommend reducing the cas …

I got this "Spacewalker" Shuttle MV43PN, which is a PCChips clone . I was specifically looking for a quirky 478 board and it fit the bill with its blue PCB, VIA chipset and options for either DDR or SDRAM. But I think I have to give up on it. With SDRAM installed it will just freeze once it gets to …
