Dang.

was hoping you had a couple Bones LOL

Yea that link I have been too before. However an Athlon XP 3200+ 400fsb is $65!! Jeez, you find them on the net for about $20 shipped all the time. So that isn't a cheap alternative to find cheap CPU's.

I do have a few treasured items of my own here, however I could not find the old SBlaster ISA card that I had before haha...

an intel pentium and AMD K6-2 w/ 3D Now!

Some oldschool rams

psyko12 · Jan 13, 2014

What is the socket of the Athlon XP 3200+ 400fsb you need?

Don't really need the chip as I have one, I was just stating that it was pretty pricey. It is a socket 462 (A).

JunkBear · Jan 13, 2014

Is it a Barton? I had one and they overclock pretty well.

I still have these high performance aluminium block and 70mm fans of brand Dr.Thermal. It's massive and noisy but it was made for oc'ing these 462.

That's why I was saying some of their prices are good, some are crazy as in high.
Yes, the XP 3200 they have is overpriced but some of the chips they do have aren't bad considering shipping is included and it's guaranteed to work when you get it. I've gotten a few chips from them and so far so good. I recall once they flubbed by sending me the wrong chip BUT it was a higher model than I had ordered. I was trying to get a 2600 Sempron and they sent me a 3000 Sempy instead, no extra charge or anything.

Here is many pictures of my vintage sound amplifier from the late 70's or beginning of the 80's. I've put my hand beside the transformer to show the size of that. Just telling you that I can hold a 2L bottle of soft drink in my hand and make 3/4 around it. I have 100w spekers each box and at half sound range they start to distort. You can also note the quality of soldering made in Japan back then.

Maybe I don't know but it's powerful and heavy...around 30 pounds.

Hope of the day : that the K8D is the adaptec SCSI 320... Or the SATA raid but preferably the 1st variant.... I have a seagate Cheetah that linger in pain to finally run free...

aaaannnddd 608 thanks! haha

m1919 · Jan 14, 2014

Heh, I've got a pair of Opteron 285s waiting for a K8N-DL to run on. Curious to see how far I can push those from 2.6Ghz stock.

GreiverBlade · Jan 15, 2014

i couldn't resist ...

wait ... i just brought for near nothing 2 Skt 604 Xeon but but but ... i don't need that! oh well they are nostalgic piece aswell and i don't have them in the collection, plus they are unknown (the seller can't tell me what they are) YAY
but the main interest was: the 4x 1024mb DDR 400 ECC ram...

ricardo.ch has some 604 mobo but freaking high price xD (around 120$) Ebay seems the way to go for those ... but not for now

close up shot of it will be great :toast:

READY? GO!
OPTERON 246 bent pin, but thanks to commander John Sheppard and his connection with Cerberus Network: Pin Reaper DEFEATED! also cleaned the thermal past spot under the cpu ... luckily dielectric past ...

no fan on the heatsink no screw include but raid floppy and driver CD + all accessory of the rack (tho still no screw) a good Nostalg33k always keep screw and fan aside (in case you lose a screw in the brain, quite common, or if you need to cool your brain, quite often!) too bad it's the SATA Raid version, oh well i will use the Adaptec card i have aside (not directly i still need to find a suitable PSU)

drive/floppy in place and front cache for the 2nd cage, short sata cable? XBOX360 BABY!

due to the limite of 10 pics : to be continued soon (tm)

GreiverBlade · Jan 15, 2014

messy? naaahhhh just normal!

a bit ghetto no server fan but they will do their job, waiting on the ECC ram (i have some DDR but no ECC)

it miss the front buttons and led but i fixed the start and reset on the back (ghetto again

) you can see them on the pics above left side.

not messy? naahhh totally abnormal!

Quoting myself for the win...

GreiverBlade said:
i double post for a bump ...

i might be able to get 2 Opteron 246 HE for cheap from a UK Ebay seller ... but i need to get the server at home so i can see what Opteron he has already in (maybe i will need to get only 1)

YAHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! except its not a HE so i need to seek if that seller has 1 246 non HE

or maybe a HE and a non HE can work together ... those cpu are the same but different TDP

update: paypal account credited soon, objective: 2x Opteron 250 for 8€ delivery include
i wanted to take 2 dual core 280 but the price is a bit ... meh ...

GreiverBlade · Jan 15, 2014

$(KGrHqVHJEwFJFo5HNPKBSWUjsuKOQ~~60_12.JPG

i should cry of joy or rage ... i don't know ... 2 PCI-X video card ... 1st one is a Matrox QID Pro QID-P256PRO Parhelia 256MB PCI-X but the price is .... above what i can afford (RAGE!!!)
the second is a IBM pSeries RS/6000 GXT6500P Graphics Adapter 2843 10N9105 PCI-X and the price is quite good (JOY!!!).... nyah! tempted tempted tempted ...

also did someone noticed that i have put the In Win Commander III Desert Fox 700w 80+gold ... as the server PSU? overkill?

that's gonna rock pretty hard ... i plan on using Ubuntu Server 13.10 x64 getting 8x1gb ECC more (later, now im focusing on selling some useless piece i have, not the nostalgic ofc to get $$$/dineros/pesos/marks/chf/€

) im watching over a auction for a 2nd server 940 heatsink... never got so much excited over a old piece of tech (old mwahhhh 2001-2004 in computer indeed)

I noticed. figured you were just using it as a spare.

well it might get a long duration spare ... 500-600w are enough for my main rig and the GX lite 600 have a 4pin EPS 12V the K8D need a 8pin, and afaik 80+ Gold psu are quite adapted for servers

now i need to figure out max SATA hdd capacity on that board for the 3 remaining SATA connector, for
