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)?

Nowadays you can do a lot of things yourself

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.

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

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.

Found a second cooler for my K8N Master2, a Gigabyte K8 Ultra mobo with 6 vrm phases, and 4x512MB Crucial Ballistix memory (micron chips). Got them running at 255MHz CL2.5-2-2-5 1T at 2.8V.

Good choice on Crucial memory, they are made by Micron, yes the same company that makes SSD chips and memory chips.

Cheers,

Thinking of benmchmarking all my AGP cards, but it's such an enormous task I'm put off starting 😀

Just bought a Foxconn Black Ops X48 motherboard ☺️

They are pretty much the same thing, except the memory is faster on the G400?

a few bits i picked up today, xbox 360 pad + wireless receiver for windows for £8 both look brand new not a mark on them, the rest of the bits i paid £15, the boards not an EP45 but a 965GM-S2, seller said it had a 2.8ghz 4core in it, wasnt sure what it could be as the board only supports 1066fsb, turned out to be a 2.2ghz dual core E4500 which was a bit disappoining, i only really bought it for the sticks of ram all of which are 2GB sticks of ddr2 800mhz, its all untested im just hoping the rams good.
