New HW found!

1. Micropolis ST506 - 85MB - 1985 - 5.25" MFM HDD - full height. 900435-01-7B - Rated Input Power 32W!!! :D Someone opened the HDD for who knows what reason. The top platter is scraped a little but there is no r/w head there, so the chances are that it is still ok. I found some case screws that fit perfectly and after I gently used an air compressor to clean it, I put the lid on, never to be opened again. Ideally I would've needed some screws with a sunken head but these are good too and they also look the part. :D At first I thought that some exotic screws would be needed but in the end it was a case of regular chunky threaded screws. Well, a beast like this doesn't need flimsy stuff bolted to it. :D
2. MagTron Inc MT-4170S - 170MB - 5.25" SCSI HDD - half height. 2 pieces
3. Gainward Silent Copper nVIDIA 6800GT PCI-E
4. Shuttle Spacewalker AK32V2.1 - VIA KT266 - The "good" chipset! :D Who in their right mind would prefer the KT266A?!?!??! :D
5. Finally an ASROCK 4CoreDual-SATA2 REV. G/A 2.00

I tested the HDDs and they powered up nicely. For the SCSI HDDs I have a suitable motherboard and add-on cards to test them, but for the MFM HDD I have nothing to try it on. Read write heads activity could be heard.

After 30 minutes of running the sound they made became better and once they were "hot and toasty" I enjoyed them so much more. Music to my ears. :D Imagine running something like this every day. :)

That sure is an odd find! This drive is massive, look at how thick the case is. I've looked up the specs:
transfer rate 625 KB/s
weight 2.6 kg
acoustic noise 51 dB

New toy. Category: "modded and un-original". Best kind :).
Actually, it came with busted cooler so I took the liberty to pimp it up.

I went to a friend's house to take care of their cat and it turns out they have:
- A Commodore 128 (they still have the original box)
- Pentium II system
- NES, SNES, N64, GameCube, Wii
- PS2, PS3
- 2x Sega somethings
According to him, anything he owns that can be modded is modded.
Here's some pictures I took (cat pictures too!):

So the fans on the Voodoo 5 5500 are going to drive me insane and that is a fact :D So to remedy the situation I ordered some Noiseblocker BlackSilentPro fans 40mm. Now this would be a strait forward DIY but it seems people don't know how to count these days so I got only 7 rubber spacers instead of 8.

This is very easy to fix don't get me wrong but the fans were pricey and I want it to look good. I contacted Blacknoise and are now waiting for a response. Here are some pictures of the DIY :banghead:

Thicc!!! :)



On the V5 5500 I'd mount a couple of Noctua (puke edition) https://noctua.at/en/nf-a4x10-5v/specification 5V version. They come in 10mm and 20mm thickness. I preffer the 10mm.

I have a 12V 40x40x10 on my 5x86 and it is pretty silent.


Also I would mod them with the wires from the old fans to keep everything tidy or I would buy new fan headers and wires that plug into the existing ones that are on the board. :D

Just my 2 cents. :)

Anyway. Both of these methods, yours and what I would do if I'd use a V5 5500 in a build, accomplish the same thing. Keeping cool and quiet a great card.

The NB fans that you bought are 12V.

You know I was looking at Noctua fans but I just couldn't get over the brown color. I wanted something black and industrial looking and they are really quiet. The best part is that I didn't have to mod anything I just screwed the fans in the exact same spots so no additional screw damage to the original passive heatsinks. Thanks !

With those few bits & pieces of what's left to do on my Adison systems, I'm actually working on something modern, which doesn't quite fit into this thread ... but depending on the overall interest, I may (or may not) document everything & make it a project of its own.

Long story short, I'm finally stepping up from Q6600 and upgrading to Core i5. Both the mobo, CPU (i5, 760) and 8GB of DDR3 RAM have been kindly donated to me by someone from TPU (I already asked him, and will gladly credit him in public unless he prefers to stay anonymous)

So, with that being said ... I bought all the remaining bits & pieces and now I'm slowly putting everything together. Still waiting on SSD drive, I/O Shield plate & CPU cooler (Hyper 212 EVO), but otherwise I'm good to go :clap:

What I've been given for free:
CPU: Core i5 760 (Socket 1156) ... in addition to 760, I was also kindly given i5 750 & i5 661
MBO: Gigabyte P55M-UD4
RAM: 2x 4GB HyperX Beast 2400 CL11

What I already have in stock & will recycle, re-purpose from the existing Q6600 setup:
GPU: Gigabyte GTX760
PSU: CoolerMaster 600W
Case: CoolerMaster Cosmos
ODD1: Philips ATA DVD/DVD-RW
ODD2: Philips ATA DVD/DVD-RW
HDD: Western Digital 320GB

What I bought in addition to all the previously-mentioned components:
RAM: 2x 4GB HyperX Fury 1866
SSD: Western Digital Blue SSD 500GB (+ mounting bracket conversion kit)
HDD: Western Digital Gold 2TB (Enterprise)
Other: Hyper 212 cooler/heatsink, L-Shaped SATA cables

Meanwhile, my existing Q6600 system (MSI P43 Neo) will replace yet another Q6600 in another case, where the motherboard (Gigabyte P31-ES3G) is being limited by the amount of DDR2 modules (2x DDR2) ... vs the MSI board, which supports of up to 4x and therefore 8GB of DDR2 in total.

Furthermore, the existing, Gigabyte Q6600 system is being cooled by Hyper TX3 vs the MSI rig, which already has 212 EVO, identical to the one which I bought for i5. So, by swapping out the entire assembly I'm going to upgrade in more ways than one ... or at least that's the plan :)

At the same time, the old Gigabyte Q6600 will be stripped for parts & repurposed elsewhere. 2x 2GB of DDR2 will be given to a family member, P31-ES3G will be safely stored inside the original box, Q6600 will be mounted inside the Adison "sleeper" (replacing the existing Core2 Duo) along with the cooler, Cooler Master Hyper TX3, because I'll have to upgrade the existing cooling to match the new requirements for Q6600.

Remember how I said back in post #9027 that I'd be getting white hair early in my life until I will see an Acer 6530G that still works perfectly as it should? Well, I still have my brown hair, but I finally live to own a working 6530G.

The smallest issues with it were a HD3470 that was about to go bad (thankfully I had a spare one) and a long dead small CMOS battery (which in shortage of such small batteries (it's way smaller than a 2032, about half its size.) I replaced with a normal wired 2032 size battery) which were solved fast enough. I'll probably up the GPU to a 3650 though, and maybe go for Win10 LTSC.

EDIT: Found out the type of the old battery, it's a CR1220.

D3D games work as good as on standard Radeon with Catalyst.
OpenGL should be problematic on FireGL, I didn't test it yet. But, there are scripts to patch the driver via Riva Tuner. I need to look into it.

Do let me know, I'm kinda wanted to buy this card before because its the last arch to support Truform, but ever since dgVoodoo support Truform emulation I don't need it anymore :rockout: For those who wanted to see how Truform looks like can download it here. Its supported since WIP80, it only work for DirectX games I believe since OpenGL games like RtCW doesn't work.

WOW! That takes me back... I had a bunch of those boards BITD. They were great for upgrading old AT PC's! People could keep their old cases and upgrade to some new-hotness. That board and a similar one from Epox made me a TON of money. My shop was one of the only places in town that did in-case upgrades from 486 CPUs to Pentium 2/3 CPUs. They were good boards as well.

Hey, that's a great haul of cool hardware. I've got a few pairs of that OCZ Ram - nice stuff! I have 2 of the 8800GTS Nvidia cards w/640MB RAM (one is the MSI)
- nice cards
that have lasted forever.

Is it strange that the three items that stand out to me the most are the Cyrix 486DX4-100, the Geforce 8800GTS with Zalman cooler and the Zip250 drive?

Same here, except for Cyrix DX4. Both 8800GT and Iomega drive in retail package got my immediate attention :)
