I'll take half a dozen 😁 ... I guess it was a one off.

Yup, the guy I bought it from had just one.

...

I am not sure of the rank precedence there, General Midi or the First Prime of Anubis' Guards.

Couple of items from eBay:

Commodore Colt-10 keyboard and system, no monitor included (pics below)

GUS ACE w/ 1MB RAM (pic below)

After having yet another hardware lot go south, I went on the hunt for a Pentium MMX setup, I found two from a seller in Bulgaria selling two lovely Socket 7 boards, one with a 166 MMX the other a 200 MMX

First board is this one

DFI P5BV3 (REV.A1) - Sellers Photo

The second is this one

QDI P5V580VP3 - Sellers Photo

Wasnt looking for two but Ill take what i can find when its at reasonable prices, both board look to be in great condition and have a good selection of slots, the DFI board has 1mb of cache too which should make it a fast little board if I put the 200 MMX on it 😁. Now for the hard part, do I find a pair of AT cases or do I buy a couple of cheap ATX cases and use their ATX power connectors, on that point do modern ATX power supply's work ok with these older ATX sockets ?

Edit - I do realise I would have to mod the ATX cases to fit the AT style boards.

I bought a few AT cases with power supplies (that I intend to recap before I use them) on AmiBay when I saw them at prices I thought worth paying. I think it's better to use AT cases where possible, but I also have AT screens for ATX cases. Never see enough of them though 😀

Bought 32MB PC100 SDRAM, four sticks of FPM 16mb parity 72pin, Winchip C6 200 and finally won a MX460 AGP card. 😀

Been awhile since the last purchase of computer hardware.

Hi, you have chosen two beautiful cards, I think they can easily support the K6, even in the + versions, at the limit there would be to update the BIOS if necessary.
I think almost all SKT7 CPUs are supported, it depends on what you want to do with it, usually for that type of card, if they have FSB 100 you can go around 550MHz or more using the K6s, using the P.MMX 200 maybe they can go further i 250.

Finally found what looks to be a 755CD in good condition at a decent price - roughly $110 all up. Looking forward to getting this one unwrapped!

I hope it's an active matrix display. Passive matrix displays make me nauseas.

Not much usually if they take a full ATX, ppl be doing mATX cases and complaining how much modding they need. Really it just leaves you with a hole where the backplate goes. Which any practical guy can blank over with convenient material.

Nice find and the price is good! Is this a 486 or P75 version?

Nauseated means you feel sick.

Nauseous means that you are sickening to others.

Single slider (for brightness) pretty much always means active matrix. Passive matrix screens also have a slider for contrast.

I won an auction for a PC. 83,60€ (101,60€ with shipping).
- AT desktop case (spraypainted in black)
- ASUS P/I-P55T2P4 Rev 3.10
- AMD K6-III+ 400 ATZ (!!!!!)
- 4x32MB EDO
- S3 Trio64
- no sound card
- 160GB HDD
- DVD+Floppy
- 200W Fortron/Source AT PSU

3 hours later a naked 400 ATZ was auctioned for 97€ (106€ with shipping). Laughing my ass off.
Seller made the mistake to not mention the CPU in the title. It was only mentioned in the description.

Would you explain what's so special about this processor, for those of us who don't collect Socket 7?

High heat rating maybe, you can run it in a live volcano... j/k not that high.

It's the low voltage variant which runs at 1.6V instead of the usual 2.0V.
They usually clock at 550-600MHz when you run them at 2.0V and only cost a fraction of what the 550MHz one demands.

There currently is a 550MHz (NOS) on Ebay. Auction ends on Sunday and is already at 95€. Seller has a bunch of them and auctions off one of them every few months. Last one sold for 402€. The one before that got auctioned for 332€. His first even sold for 912€!
