When i am searching for parts i ofcourse only look for parts that i want for my own builds. I am not a big soundcard guy (only using creative cards because they do the trick in my builds) and i'm not very much into XT stuff etc.
I like retro's from pentium 1 and up so there's where my love is. I like especially 3dfx so almost every build i do has some 3dfx love in it.
So there could be a lot of parts that are extremely cool for others and has a LOT of value that i just leave at a fleamarket for example because i don't want it and i don't know the value...
So what is THE most expensive system/rare computer we could build in our heads? Parts don't really have to fit (s370 cpu and a super socket 7 board for example is fine) but must be RETRO. I just want to know te top list of parts and what they are worth.
Normal, used, working, UNBOXED parts with normal going prices (so if a voodoo 5500 has a normal price of 100 dollars i want that. Not the one case where a guy paid 500 for it).
I know a voodoo 5 6000 is extremely rare and expensive but maybe there are other cards that are even more expensive/rare?
example:
AT case Antec type 1200 (normal going price 150 dollar)
Fortron 400w At psu 90+ (150 dollar)
Asus p12b (revision important?) (150 dollar)
cyrix socket2 400mhz engineering sample (150 dollar)
1gb pc150 sdram kingston extreme (150 dollar)
Zalman socket4 full copper freeze cooler (150 dollar)
3dfx voodoo 8000 agp (150 dollar)
Creative AWE128 isa 1gb (150 dollar)
Creative daughterboard (150 dollar)
10-speed floppy drive (150 dollar)
Quantum Bigfoot 25GB 700rpm ide (150 dollar)
etc. etc. don't fill it up with 5 soundcards or 5 graphics cards, just one top dog....
