grabbed this for $5 off Craigslist. I needed a 286 for my collection and this looks to be a late model with 4MB of RAM and a Harris 20mhz 286 + 287 copro.

I reused his pic from the add since its already real nice

That case is a retro classic. It was also available in a full tower. And $5 for a complete system with a Harris 20 in it is amazing. Normally you couldn't buy the CPU alone for that. The IIT co-pro is a pretty good find, as well. They normally go for more than the Intel because of rarity.

Only $5?!

Now I'm jelly. That case is marvelous. Reminds me of one of my dad's old computers.

. 🤣, will do. The guy said he has some more stuff he's going to try and dig out then let me know. He said he had a decked out IBM AT and some 386/486 motherboards.so I'm just waiting to see if he gets back to me. I think the $5 was a formality. I've run into a few people like that. They want to give something away but for whatever reason need something in exchange even if its a absurdly low $ amount. I had a guy ask $1 from me for a tandy 1000hx cause he just didnt feel right giving it away. I'm not complaining though.

Ooh...deck out AT. I'd like to see that. Maybe it has a 386 accellerator card.

Got another optical drive. This one is a LG DVD-RW, GH22NP20 from 2009. It doesn't play CDDA 🙁

The thing I don't get is why bother with the analogue audio output when it doesn't work?

Will get more of that LITEON drive. It reads discs faster and CDDA works well too.

Most late optical drives with those connections don't actually use them. I'd just assume it would cost them more to change the tooling, so they didn't bother.

If your getting late IDE DVD drives. I'd Stick with Sony optaric models\ DDUXXXX models..
I have a ton of those, heck my main machine still uses one, as it still has IDE ports 🤣 .
Some of them will even do S/PDIF out, but usually only the beige models.
All of them will do Normal Analog out.

Thanks guys 😀

I did order 3 more of the LITEON. This should last me. I have other drives too that work. I will keep the Sony in mind that's for sure.

8 Video Cards from 4 different countries 😉
Please, guess all the names 😁

That medion should be from Germany? Is it a GeForce?

Well, the white/silver card is an SiS 301-based card of some kind, and, based on the Triplex cooler and silver PCB, I'm going with Triplex Xabre 400 Pro. The second card clearly says that it's a Medion GeForce 4 MX 460. The third card is a Vérité V2200, again, based on the labelling. Fourth, a Number Nine Revolution IV (more PCB help). Card 5, I see from the labelling that it's a STB Nitro DVD. Card 6 clearly looks like it has some TV tuner functionality, and Google points to it possibly being an A-trend DVDPM2T? Card 7 is clearly an ATI Mach 32, and then we finish on what seems to be an Octek VGA-16 card. So all in all, you've got some seriously unusual cards/rare there. 😀

Awesome looking PCB for the Sis card.
But its a SIS card 🤣 .
I wish there was more white PCB's used for Vcards\Sound.

-

I snagged a Rage 128 Pro Theater TV tuner card with all the bundled software. It came with the driver CD plus the game Expendable on an ATi CD and Giants: Citizen Kabuto. The seller said the game CD's had never been used.

I also grabbed something from the Dark Side and picked up a ZIF carrier card for PCI Powermacs with a 333mhz G3 in it still sealed in box.

I remember a white PCB for a Soltek Geforce MX440 back in 2004, it looked pretty nice - shame about the budget card 😀

VooDooMan, mogłeś chociaż napisy zamalować 😁

you could cover markings

At least he didn't tell us that he'd put the cards in the bin this time... :p

Its another voodoo 2 🤣, this time STB Blackmagic 3d 12mb Voodoo2 PCI, has 100mhz ram on it.
Also 4x32mb MT EDO 72-pin 60ns simms for 128mb matched set total.

Not quite sure what ATI card this is...
