At just shy of $50 shipped, I couldn't help but pull the trigger on a PODP5V not knowing whether it's a 63 or 83 MHz. If it's a 63, it's an addition to my collection, if it's 83, hopefully it'll run @100, which my current PODP5V83 doesn't, and then I'll probably flip one of them ...

Showed up yesterday ... Seems a bit interesting: Is this a legit PODP5V83 ES anyone care to share their thoughts?

Bought a Toshiba Satellite 2180CDT. Worked for half a hour then died. 🙁 Waiting on a 4070CDT now.

Another arrival today, I wasn't even aware these existed when they were current but it's a sweet little box that should make a good dos gamer!

Spec is
ASUS P/I-AP55T Motherboard with riser card
ATI Maché64 onboard with expansion to 2MB
Onboard Vibra 16s
Pentium 133MHz
48MB Memory
8x CD-ROM drive

I need to not only work out where the hard drive is meant to mount, but find one of a suitable size or replace altogether with an ide to sd setup or similar! This machine is really compact, I may have to try and find an original voodoo or similar for it!

Thanks, came with the 2.5".. will post some pics in post your battlestations thread (actually halloween thread). tried to get silver disk drive working but its dead and the psu doesnt give 5v to disk... came with 2200+, put a 1500+ athlon mobile 4 in thinking put less strain on old psu. tried a dead 2600+, asked google AI which is best chip I have on hand, it suggested 2200+ thorton was so that went in.
Had the win98 sticker for more than a decade ago, on it goes to this build. can finally move the two atx builds i have in here out (qdi advance 10t & a7v333)

Looks mint! The case seems to be in excellent condition. Win 98 sticker is a nice touch.
