I wanted a serial mouse to replace the somewhat broken Microsoft one I have, ended up buying 3 with ps/2 adapters, one ADB for old macs, a vintage mousepad and a PPC601 cpu.

The mouse on the left reminds me of Hacoa brand mouse and keyboards.

Wow, where did you get these? JDirect Auctions (formerly Yahoo Auctions Japan)?

Got a small box of treasure to help the cause....

A box of stick on heatsinks... the big ones are 40mm (there's a yellow one under black) so you can tell it's not a YUGE box. So yeah, hardware improvers equivalent of a box of googly eyes 🤣 ... I'm not one to go nuts really, will apply them where they will do some good, not just to look "trick"

I got them in a bundle deal, I think they were about 70c CAN worth so 50c US so very inexpensive to me, not sure what the box sets you back on Amazon (Think that's where they came from) maybe only $10.

Unicorn herding operations are proceeding, but all the totes of hens teeth and barrels of rocking horse poop give them plenty of hiding spots.

An SiS graphics card. Not sexy perhaps, but I didn't have any SiS chipset cards before.

I had a Diamond Speedstar A50 25 years ago (same SiS chip I think) and tried to run Half-Life with high hopes, because of the name of the card. Oh man... haha.

Abit BH6 + Intel Celeron 333MHZ + 256MB SDRam +Asus V3800 AGP graphics Card from a seller over at AMIbay. Looking forward to playing around with that legendary board again. The V3800 being a full-blown TNT2, was a really nice find too, since I had none except from M64s

If it's dual it's kind of cool ... 😎

Please use the "quote" option if asking questions to what I write - it will really up the chances of me noticing 😀

I find them fun little underdog cards, that when you find something they like, quite surprise you. I think you've got the latest and greatest revision there, I could be wrong though.

Some late night ebay browsing resulted in me buying a 256MB 7900GS and an Asus P5N-D motherboard.

Both should be arriving in the coming weeks.
