They are searched in Germany too

I know, we're in the same market.😉

Get a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz 😀

Thanks for the tip, but I only found 2 on Ebay.com and shipping to Germany is very expensive. This card would cost me ~50€.
A few days ago I bought a NOS Yakumo Solo 1 for 9€ incl. shipping, I will try it first.

Wow that is a really nice socket A system and I also love that cpu cooler. Basically any of the systems you've posted I would love to have

I need a better PCI soundcard with green PCB for this PC, suggestions?

Yamaha Waveforce 192XG is what I used for my green-PCB-only V5500 dual P3 build (search for „All things dual“)
If you are patient, you can get these for 20-30€, they are quite rare but not as rare as the Aureal Vortex 2. And they sound great!

I really like the style of your builds, so thank you for sharing!

Moin Moin,
wohne neben Neumünster, ist ja nicht so weit weg 😁
Nach der Yamaha hab ich schon mal geschaut, da muss man ja auch Glück haben. Aktuell gibt es nur welche für +-100€

Next system:

Pioneer DVD-106S
Lian Li PC-G50

Rebuild of a old PC from me. The missing side door is a little bit special, I'll do another post on that.

Why didn't somebody tell me I was missing this parade of amazing machines? Nice one @vad4r!

😀

The case hast in the upper front some yellow shadow (in Germany we call it "gilb"), thats why the PC stand outside in the sun.....
It is my original case from that time. I sold it to a friend years ago and got it back as a gift a few years later.

Next:
CPU: AMD Athlon Thunderbird 1000Mhz

Athlon thunderbirds are expensive at the moment, more so than intel equivalents, anyway i see you certainly took care of any airflow issues! 😀

CPU: Intel Pentium III 650E

Case: Commodore Gaming PC Tower

I bought this PC only because of the case and it came to me dirty and damaged:

After cleaning and some work, I use the PC to check my SCSI Hardware. I also want to use it to back up my Atari ST hard drives, I'm curious if it works.

(The cables on the bottom are for the side panel fan)

Currently running this socket 8 build which i like a lot.

CPU - Pentium Pro 200MHz 256Kb L2 cache (late 1995)

That's a great PPro build And your cable management is beautiful.

I feel like I've stepped into a parallel universe where everyone is expert at cable managing their PC builds. 😆

Same here. I try my hardest but I never get results like these. My cases look okish but I'd love them to look like these.

Cable manqgement is a skill I do not possess . Tie wrapping to maximize airflow is as far as I go .

Nobody touch your shoulder and *wosch* you are a Wizard, Harry cable guy. Try it, and every next PC looks better....

Mainboard: Asus Commando with Mod Bios
CPU: Intel Xeon E5450 with bridgesticker 3Ghz @ 4,07Ghz
CPU cooler: Scythe Mugen 2
Case: Lian Li PC-A05
RAM: Mushkin 2x 1GB XP2 6400
GPU: on some images you see a Leadtek GTX260 Extrem, but she died and would replaced by a KFA² GTX260+ 896 MB @ 625/1050

WIP - Duke is watching:

And the side door from the upper PC:

Oh boy I remember when they came out with the aquarium side panel. My boys would love that

Ok the IDE cable management skillz some people have make me feel like an utter and complete noob. I will tear into my builds and make them more presentable at first opportunity...

Identify what you don´t like in your builds and remake the cabling. You will be better build by build.
I used cardboard and braces for trial and error. After i found the best IDE geometry, i used dual sided tape.
