I like this guy's videos, I wondered where he lived as he is always taking in euros. And in this video, he says he lives in the Canary islands, lucky him,

He keeps on mentioning Bootfaires in the winter.

They're all in the summer here in the Uk. I never see many custom PC,s at boot fairs Or that many OEM PC,s at all

.I don,t know how he gets some of them free.

And pays peanuts for the other ones he buys.

Of course, if you are in the USA you have those garage sales.

Is X79 considered old enough to be nostalgic? I have another gem coming in day or two.

As long as it has 1394, I'd say yes.

I have just seen this for £5

Old Retro PC - AMD Athlon XP 2800+it,

is a ugly case but for five pounds worth it just for the parts.Only trouble is like all the stuff I see on F.M.P it is the other side of London just on the outskirts of the next county.Plus the fact it looks a big and heavy beast,

MD Athlon XP 2800+ (Coolermaster Cooler)
Gigabyte GA-7VAXP Motherboard
40GB HDD
1GB RAM
Radeon 7000 64 mb

DVD Drive
TV Card
DVD ROM and CD-RW
Boots up but may be faulty. (untested)
I have an Athlon 2400 pc so I could upgrade the CPU. The PSU must be working on It will probably do me in carrying it home lots of changes on the tube thank god for the tube.

I would not fancy getting it on a Bus

That CPU is interesting. It's not the Jet, but it's similar.

I don't know but could this motherboard be classic series?
However, I know very well that it was the only overclocking dual-processor motherboard that was not a problem in its class at that time:
"EVGA Classified SR-2 (270-WS-W555"
X58/1366 Socket
________________________________________________________________________________________________
The motherboard you see in the pictures was gifted to me by a friend from China.
Currently this motherboard is around $1000 on the second hand market.
How so?
My Chinese Friend's Name is "Ma Jinze"
I don't know if it hangs here.
I gifted it software and he gifted me this motherboard.
Wow!!!
I wanted to share this information with you.
I'm currently doing some detailed investigations.
I added NVMe SSD support in the bios

It certainly does, never seen one like that before. It is another ugly case but I won't be using it, as I now have two PC cases.

I will try the PSU on my MSI 7513 motherboard although I have ordered a power switch to test it out.

Veseleil · Jan 11, 2023

Guys, I was wondering, will this be able to cool an overclocked Q9550?

I mean, not too many full copper coolers out there anyway.

Mr.Scott · Jan 11, 2023

Sure. Are there better choices?,....yes, but that'll work.

Would I be able to get it in this wheeled case? Luckily enough I have one tube journey from one end of the line to the other end and a short walk to the DLR train. Will that case do the trick?

I have one of those sitting on a 7700K, cools it well enough I've no worries about it.

Greenslade · Jan 11, 2023

Do you guys think I will get it in this case? I don,t really want the case I just want the comments .just for the CPU it is worth the price I am paying for it.

Just grab a PC case you already have & see if it fits in the suitcase. Hard to say from here.

That case is a lot bigger than normal.I can get a normal PC in one of those big bags.The weight is the problem i want be able to use one of those bags. Extra large Jumbo Storage Laundry zipped bag Reusable 60 x 60 x 18 could put one bag in the other one to make the bags stronger gut it would be to heavy.I asked the seller to measure the case and how much it weighs it would be much to heavy for those bags, but i could drag it if in two bags.

Ruru · Jan 11, 2023

Got these. With a 2500K.

I just need an ATX case with 240 radiator support

edit: I also put a 8GB DDR3-1600 kit to it so it has 24GB.

Yup, as long as it's not a screaming roaster of an OC. That Zalman heatsink was and still is exceptional!

Veseleil said:

Not with this one. I had one BITD on a Q9400 with an FSB OC and a bit of extra voltage. The extra heat didn't do much. Temps only went up by a few degrees C.

That was a great purchase, in its original box, everything but the mousepad, just 30EUR + shipping

Thanks to NimeZ drivers, the card still performs fine in new(-ish) games, actually the 3GB VRAM throttles it the most. Going to pair this with the Z68/2500K combo I posted above.

EVGA Classified SR-2 (270-WS-W555)
I know very few people have this motherboard.
I felt like sharing something like a gift for those who have this motherboard.
The Bios of this motherboard is locked and I unlocked it. (Attention!!!!! I will only share the unlocked bios file if requested. For novices, using unlocked bios may brick the motherboard.)
At the same time, I added 16 different models and brands of NVMe SSD modules to the Bios file content.
@Mr.Scott that's for you.
