at least one? I see at least 10 in each :p

Hehe, didnt you see them..? The last one was the most important. Again, Ebay didnt accept my offer or my connection was gone. I was really lucky there was no bidder at all. Therefore I contacted the seller and bought all 3......
I've been trying not to check lately, spent too much on the amiga ^^

Hehe yes, understand. Did it arrive already?

Ahh cool! Very nice! Sorry didnt notice that. Have been too busy with the fun and exciting EGA-project. For those who didnt notice that one 😉
6€ MCE2VGA replacement - CGA/EGA/HGC capture with logic analyzer
The Amiga is really cool, hope you will have much fun with it.
I am currently (also interrupted) working on the same PC10, only case and mainboard so far. What else is inside yours? I like to put as many original components in it as possible.
the only other thing in there is a MFM controller for the HDD but the price was pretty ok for the PC10, monitor and the cherry MX keyboard, accidentally stumbled upon it while looking for amiga stuff x3 and was like sure why not ^^
...oh and a leaky battery, have to remove that asap x3 but it's working perfectly fine, including the HDD, it sounds awesome spinning up.
A small VLB haul today:
A QDI 6580 multi I/O. I have a non-upgradeable version of this card — works really stable on a AMD 5x86 160 (40MHz FSB) setup. Does anybody know where I can find a BIOS dump? What goes into the smaller socket? As far as I could make out the silkscreened text inside the socket, it say 74LS138. Would this chip work?
An Orchid Fahrenheit 1280 Plus card — an S3805-based card. Just looked nice, and for 4 bucks I thought "why not".
Finally, the biggest thing, a BusLogic BT-445S VLB SCSI controller:

There's another ATI video card in this heap, with a (ISA?) sound card behind it.
Behind one of the motherboards is what looks like a riser card with an ISA slot, and another card that likely is a TV card.
In the middle there is a Firewire PCI card, and a bit to the left of it something that looks like an industrial backplane.
Red KBN6PGM2-V (?) motherboard.
PCI-X? card with memory extension module and purple connectors.
Very large Siemens card (CPU board that goes with the backplane?).
Promise Ultra 100 controller.

Today I received another contender for the spot in my mid 90th 233MMX. A Hercules Stingray 64 PCI with an ARK2000PV chip. It’ll have to compete with an ET6000, some S3 cards and some MGA cards - playground: DOS 2D VGA gaming.
It seems I always pay way to much for single items … maybe I should shift my attention to all those mystery boxes with 10 EUR per 10 kilos and keep the fingers crossed.

Looks like a Socket 603/604 Xeon.
Got this LS-120 drive today.
The first I've been able to get for a reasonable price.
Building my own PCs since 1991 - for my retro builds it's "no CF-disks, no Floppy emulators, no modern cases etc.", only the real and authentic stuff whenever possible.
Incoming of today

Geforce2 mx440 pci
Happy days 😀
The purple one reminds me of the PNY "Verto" FX5200 Ultra I used to have.
After 1 month and 9 days of waiting, I finally received this:
Doom sounds amazing now.
