I never seem to remember the correct name for the Berg connector thats why I call it a "small Molex" or floppy power connector. I think I will use the fan controller I just need to figure out which one of my 2001 - 2004 systems this cooler will be able to cool without having to run at 6000 RPM. The reviewers were not convinced... but I bought it for its rareness for 5 Euro. Now I just have to find a way to clean off all the tar as the previous owner seems to have been a heavy smoker, the fan runs perfectly though.

Mine was fine with an Athlon64 X2 for years; that's a ~90W TDP chip. FWIW. I'd use the plastic 3.5" mount for the fan controller too - the PCI slot thing isn't well insulated, and its easy to short the pot into itself (it goes BANG, there's some fire, and a lot of nasty smoke - that's how mine died 🤣).

I have very little knowledge about stuff that old.

Or perhaps the SCSI card is just named ZX for random reason 😀

It isn't for a ZX Spectrum, it also isn't SCSI though before posting I did a quick search, there are two such cards appearing on eBay which are not correctly described... I hoped people's minds would jump onto these paths. Not sure I'm operating in the rules but then, nor is anyone else and my picture probably isn't entirely fair, so here's a cryptic clue; The BUS which looks like SCSI seems to be called XBUS, has an interesting pinout... Pin 24 seems to be a 14.31818MHz clock.

Man you're killing us here! Is it related with Commodore 64?

A SPARCstation/SPARCserver?

"Xbus" seems to unfortunately be used for tons of proprietary/generic stuff as well.

It's a breakout interface for something. It runs on an ISA bus so it isn't Commodore 64 or ZX Spectrum related.

Here's one that will stump a few of you. 😎

Thats a Voodoo 2 SLI im pretty sure, what brand tho

It's some kind of microchannel board. Looks to have video output. Maybe some kind of proprietary high end video board?

SGI IrisVision?

Id like to see more cards like that in mine collection. Profi cards are hard to get.

I wanna say that one of those boards is a CPU board, but I'm not 100% sure.

You got it. Silicon Gaphics's IrisVision IrisGL 3D accelerator. Arguably one of the first 3D cards for the PC.

Well im an idiot 😜

I think a lot could consider the first to be the PGA.

Ok then, guess mine turn. Don't want exact card name (dont think its have one). Enough is exact type of card (sound, vga....) and company name (easy one). Had to delete card number from image (with it it would be too easy).

I'm going to assume MCA graphics card, and guess that it's an IBM.

Your guess is from 2/3 right. But one thing is wrong.

Honestly, it looks like the kind of stuff Brest used to build.

Green dot on the back indicates it's a token ring card. 4 megabit?

Yep, its IBM Token Ring (83X7488) MCA.

Nice, never known that they got different dots on cards back.....Seen info about token ring only in IT books at highschool, but never seen real card or cables. This one i got as possible video card, but soon found out that it is not. So it ended in mine trade list - would be shame recycle card like that.

What green dot? 😕
