okay F8 received FX5200 too ... just need to wait on money to order the mobo i spotted on Ebay, for the FX the seller said "works fine but a little bit dusty" a "little bit dusty" was a understatement :D never seen so much gunk in a so little heatsink :clap:

FX5200.....cool thing.Had a 64MB FX5200 but now it has artefacts because of a broken ceramic cap.
How much RAM does your FX5200 have?

Great.My Chaintech board went to heaven,because the PLCC socket decided to broke.

Now,I have to hunt down a Athlon XP board or another Socket 478 MB.Well,at least I've got 2 new BIOS screens for each type.

One for Celeron D,with Intel's motto:

Same for Athlon XP,minus the motto:


Let's hope it won't be a OEM board.OEM boards are usually not worth using because of crippled BIOS.

I've got also some CPUs around.Here's a list of them:
AMD:
-Sempron 2400+ - Socket 462
-Athlon XP 1700+ - Socket 462 (the main CPU I use on Socket A rigs)
-Duron "Spitfire"950MHz - Socket 462 (secondary CPU)
-K6-2 400AHX - SUPER Socket 7 (was main CPU before I went more retro and downgraded to Pentium 1 150-133MHz)
-K5 PR-100MHz - Socket 7
Intel:
-Intel Pentium II MMX 233MHz - Slot 1
-Intel Pentium III 500MHz SL3F7 - Slot 1 (in a old 350MHz Pentium 2 casing :p)
-Intel Celeron III 600MHz - Socket 370
-Intel Pentium III 800MHz - Socket 370
-Intel Pentium III 933MHz - Socket 370
-Intel Pentium III 1200MHz - Socket 370
-Intel Pentium 1 150MHz - Socket 7
-Intel Pentium MMX 200MHz - Socket 7/Super Socket 7
-Intel Pentium 4 "Willamette" 1.7GHz - mPGA478/Socket 478
-Intel Celeron 4 "Willamette" 1.7/1.8GHz - mPGA478/Socket 478
-Intel Celeron D 330 "Prescott" 2.66GHz - mPGA478/Socket 478
-Intel Celeron 440 "Conroe" 2.00GHz - LGA775.

And that's all.For the video cards I don't have too much video cards.Just the Radeon 7000 32MB for AGP and a S3 Trio 64 with 5MB RAM (1MB soldered and 4MB added from a dead PSone board)

Fun fact:While those are the BIOS screens,the XP bootscreen is unchanged but the wallpaper on the desktop is........RAMMSTEIN!

Yes I ended up mounting everything after I found an older PSU other than my main tester PSU. I used nylon bolts and nuts and later mounted another PSU with zip ties.

Back in the days I mounted computer parts inside stuff other than the typical cases.

This was my prototype for my LAN Party briefcase I named Agent, lol. I was going to mount an LCD without the bezel but LCDs were still pricey back in 2004.
I wanted to later install better hardware inside an all aluminium briefcase but the cost for me back then was more than I had as a starving guy going to a Flight School in Tulsa OK. It was running SCSI HDs from a RAID controller, lol!

:roll: "Agent." that is great! Very cool man. That was a great idea. Yea, lol, in 04 or 05 I paid $200 for a 19" LCD from Sams Club. Now you can get 24" for less than that.

Man these mouse there's a local store still selling them new for 2$. Let's face the truth...these are not always moving well and get dusty but will work on any surfaces compared to some laser mice. It happens that many laser mice don't even work on light coloured surfaces.

It has Panasonics now instead of those failed Crapxon's, in fact I haven't yet tried to put that PC on. Guess I'll do that now so I can see does it work now :)


It had too two failed Rubycons :confused: but now those are too replaced with Panasonics.


edit: And yes it works now! :)

I still have a boxfull of old hardware somewhere around. Everything from x486 and up. The best item in my collection was PowerNote laptop(may the force be with it...) that could only run win98. It runs on P-II 133MHz, has 32MB RAM and 1GB HDD.
My current "old" machine, so to say, is pretty close to my first PC I've built in college:
CPU: AMD Sempron 2500+
MoBo: ECS N2U400
RAM: 512MB DDR400
HDD: 80GB ATA133
VGA: ATI Radeon 9600 (128MB VRAM)

ATM it runs Fedora 20.1, but I have bigger plans for it.
To be honest, as a kid I've always wanted to have a ZX Spectrum.
I had a neighbor who was developing software for this platform, since it was the most popular in Soviet Union. He had a 48k model with 128k homebrew modification, external 5,25" floppy drive and, of course, tape storage running off "Vesna" stereo system(something like a soviet boombox) :nutkick:
Cool stuff. I might buy me one soon.

Cleaning up stuff from my dad store found some old stuff:

Old Pentium 1 (non MMX), I bet its 166MHz. Would run if I could be bothered to do so, it even have SD RAM slots and AGP slots so it can be upgraded :D



Old 33600 fax modem. How many actually remember this?



Quad speed Creative external drive



One more, old IOmega ZIP drive, 100MB is HUGE on its days
