OMG, Auzentech Xplosion. Always wanted that one but settled for an Audigy 2 ZS (not a bad deal altought you can hear some mouse interference when nothing is playing).

m0nt3 · May 20, 2014

x-plosion with upgraded op-amp. Didn't have mouse noise issues but mic is terrible.

ooohhh sweet heavennnnnn

cardboard box? no problem i have a special @9700 Pro tape and cardboard opener...

(a bit rusty but i just found it back in my cellar ...

soooo supermicro H8DCE Rev. 3.1 nForce Pro 2200+2050 + 2x Opty 248 (sadly not the Troy one.... oh well next month i take 2 280 for that little motherboard)

okok let's have a good laugh...

As everyone has stated, very rare! What an awesome score bro!

@GreiverBlade : Nice dual Opty system man! Make sure it supports the 280 series of opty's before spending the bucks on them.

Ruru · May 20, 2014

@GreiverBlade familiar looking Finnish knives, I have one similar too :toast:

Cool dual Opty system indeed, and the original Sledgehammers.

well it state "made in Finland" on the leather sheath

i directly thought about 9700 Pro xD

well i wait 4 weeks and i will be ordering some 280 Italy dualcore to replace them :oops:

i have 1 246 (Sledgehammer) and 2 250 (troy) in the collection and now those 2 248 (luckily that H8DCE was bundled with 2 cpu since one of my 250 has a overheat problem ... reaching 100c in 1min 34sec while being in BIOS is indeed a overheat problem)

that board is AWESHUM! damn i didn't spot her before i ordered the Arima HDAMA i had before

dang ... it even feel snappy under win7 64 Pro ...i can't wait till i get my hand on some Opty Italy DC

what about a FF XIV ARR (with the R7 240 instead of the HD3650) bench run .... humpfff ... awww it crash at the character loading oh well, so much for that idea

btw ... Velociraptor tryout,the install HDD atm is a 120gb Barracuda 7200.11... *laugh* IDE, well ... guess what ... on a SATA III the VRaptor get recognized 1 on 5 attempt at POST on SATA I 1 on 10 .... on SATA II it was recognized direct at 1st attempt ...
temporary 3.5" rack for testing purposes

this versus that, i guess i know what will be my install disk, PATA will be only for the ODDs

also that mobo has some nice fan settings ... 4 in total 2 for Workstation 2 for Server (well 5 if i count the "747 on take off" mode, AKA: full speed) pics of it running (yep Ghetto 90mm in the right 5.25" bay)

6600GT AGP (to my #3 pc), HD2900GT and an Asus K8V SE Deluxe (actually, I have an delidded Athlon64 3200+ for that

and some Samsun 512MB DDR's)

Ruru · May 22, 2014

Oh f##k! That 6600GT seems to be dead since it gives no signal.. :|

i know that feeling ... i have 3 card bought for 7chf all together

9800GT 512 Asus Matrix
9800GT 1024 HP OEM
HD4870 512 Asus
all of them are non working but they still fit well on the Shelf of my GC collection

also ... Battle Workstation anyone? (a bit blurry tho ... )

Ruru · May 22, 2014

How much is a chf compared to euro's? I don't know even what currency that is...

Must test the 2900GT when I get sober, I'm going to Muurame (central Finland) to drink beer where I got those sweeties, maybe I'll get more..?

edit: Waiting for the good old stinger's reply for my stuff (even that at least the 6600GT seems to be broken)

GreiverBlade · May 22, 2014

bah ... at last we have a stable currency... Euro ... what a joke currency

(Chf = franc suisse )

(google is your friend .... just type Eur to Chf and you get the change

)
Eur to Chf : 1€ =1.22chf (base change, in fact the Euro is so unstable that this limit is maintained by the national bank of Switzerland otherwise the real change is 1€ to 1.16Chf )
at last England kept the Pounds bahahaha

MUUUHHHHHH i found a seller in switzerland for this ... but he ask for a insane amount for it :cry:

also found a seller who has Panzer Dragoon Orta but the german version :cry:

Something isn't right with the 2500+. 2 possibilities: It's the wrong picture, or it's the wrong CPU. The picture shows an Athlon XP "Palomino". It has a square-shaped core and the "biggest" Palomino is the 2100+. The first Athlon rated 2500+ was the "Thoroughbred B" with a smaller rectangle-shaped core. The 2500+ can be a tbred-B, a Barton or a mobile Barton. The 2500+ mobile Barton (FQQ4C) goes pretty well. Real 2.5GHz are possible.

XP-M AXMH 2500+ FQQ4C AQYHA 0440 500.jpg

AXDA 2700 DKV3D AIUHB 0247 2,6GHz 500.jpg

1st one is a 2500+ mobile Barton, goes somewhere above 2,5GHz. 2nd is a 2700+ Thoroughbred-B. This one runs the "Everest"-Stresstest with 100% load at 2,6GHz.

JunkBear · May 23, 2014

Could probably so à xubuntu 14.04 test on a socket 462 as well.

GreiverBlade · May 23, 2014

AMD Athlon XP 2600 1.9 Ghz 333 Mhz socket A (socket 462) processor

Description... if it's a Palomino or a Thoroughbred B i am happy even if it's a2100+ as i already have a Barton
