So this website has made me want to play some old games. Like MechWarrior 2.
So I've decided to build a Socket 7 Pentium 1 Machine. I've got a 486 but I really want to use one of my many 3dfx video cards. Anything newer is a bit new in my mind!
At this stage all I have is a number of Pentium 1 CPUs, ATX Case and some Video Cards.
I have just purchased an ATC-5030 430TX Motherboard (The only motherboard on the Australian ebay!)
So it will probably take a week to get here.
I then need to find some fans for my CPUs (not sure what to use, I have a Pentium 100, Pentium 133, Pentium 166MHz MMX, Cyrix PR233MX). I was bidding on a Pentium 233MHz but it went for $50, more than I want to spend.
I'll probably start with the Pentium 133 CPU as my old computer had one of these.
I am going to need to find some Ram too. I believe I have some Fast Page Ram from my 486, but I'd prefer to get 2x32mb SD PC66 ram.
So I will update this post with more information when the system is more built!
