I'm really really jealous about that AdLib coin - is it made of real gold like the AWE64 one? Is there any chance that there could be more of them where you got this one? If that's not a secret, could you tell the story of this coin?

Meanwhile I've also made a nice deal today, seller's picture provided 😀 Hope it works as I plan to build a Unobtainium VLB machine with this one, the CT6200 I posted earlier, and some other nice pieces.

I hate to burst your bubble, but pretty sure the NexGen PF series chips with on-chip FPU only work in PCI boards. Nice rare find though 😀 Is that the one you bought off Hugo?

Yes, exactly.
Could you recommend me any further reading on the issue you raised? Would really appreciate that!

Kawai GMega General Midi Module. My collection is growing. 😁

*all that stuff*

And here I though I wouldn't have to feel jealous today...

Um, I am feeling a lot less jealous about this one anyway. I will have to wait till the next rare opportunity to have this one in my collection. 🤣 Way too much for my taste! Back to the coffee cup and ink pens for me! Not sure how Artex does it! 🤣

It was said a few years ago by a collector in CPU-World forums. Lot of CPU experts over there, you'll usually find someone who has tested pretty much any x86 CPU.

Artex, would you like to join us in group today? 🤣

No really where do you put all your stuff? Id go insane trying to find away to store it all.

Here! I am going to pick up two more shelving units for all of my retro PCs still in storage. I still put all the out-of-box cards in tubs/boxes so that stuff won't be on display.

Let me be the first to say, this is truly magical!

Thanks! I never.. Ever want to move this collection again. What a pain.

I wouldn't want to either. As a side note, i don't think i could walk away with "One" piece of hardware if i had the chance! There is seriously sooo much nice hardware on display. I'm happy to see two boxed items i own on your display! hahahaha 😵 😵 😵

I have a half eaten case of UTZ Cheese Balls and about $5 in quarters...take it or leave it Artex. 🤣 🤣 🤣

Let us know when you plan on unloading some of that stuff will you? It would be more profitable than buying a bigger house! 😀

Hahaha right?! Boxed stuff is so pretty! It's like a Christmas of yesteryear with all my wishes that never came true in the early 90s. Lol.

"Member artex has spent a questionable sum on vintage hardware"

Confirmed. Is questionable. But impressive.

Amen to that brother. As a youngster, all I could do was imagine, and dream. Now- well, let's just say dreams are easier these days. 😉

I followed the links in your signature, and all I gotta say is... I would still like about a 2 minute shopping spree with your boxed collection!

Admittedly, yes. Regrets = None.

Wow, truly amazing stuff you got there.
I go nuts knowing i have one shelf full of boxed abit/dfi boards. I could not imagine having to deal with all that.

Less money than...
gambling?
drugs?
cigarettes?
horses?

If yes to all four, you're in good shape.

^ booze?

Raising a daughter?! 😎

Well that's a different story 😁
