I found a computer in my house which, if I remember correctly, was the first one my family had. The parts are all dated 1994 or 1995 which would make sense with what I remember. I am scrapping it so I wanted to remove the hard drive and figured I would share some of the interesting finds.
 

The motherboard had two Intel PCI chipsets and a Cyrix processor. I found it interesting that the CPU used an AMD style mount but the board had Intel chips (if anyone has an explanation I would be interested).

Memory was in the same format as the modern DIMMs but they were labled as "SIMM" slots and went in on an angle and then stood up instead of being pushed down into the slot.

I'm not sure who made the video card but it had a single RCA style video out, along with a S-Video and VGA.

The sound card was actually the largest add in card in the computer. It had three RCA outs and a serial connector similar to a VGA but bigger.

As this was the mid 90s, there was no onboard ethernet (there actually was no IO on the board at all) so the computer had this PCI ethernet card. I was also amused that it was made in Canada.

In addition to an optical drive, the computer had a 3.5 inch floppy drive and this 5.25 inch floppy drive. I actually remember "gaming" on disks that size.

We had the hard drive "updated" to this massive 8.4GB drive later in the life of the computer.
 

I don't think Dropping tech is going to help me here...

Dennis coming in to work 

SPDIF Digital Audio and what it's good for

Look...


If you had....
 
One shot..
 
Or one opportunity
 
 

To seize everything you ever wanted
In one moment

Would you capture it ?...
 
 
or just let it slip?
 

 
 
480 mile..
 

 
His palms are sweaty
knees weak
arms are heavy,
Polaris is on the floor already ,
NVIDIA Spaghetti ,
 
 
But on the surface he looks calm & ready to drop specs..
But he keeps on forgetting what he wrote down
 


The whole crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth, but the 480x won't come out

$199 , He's choking now, everybody's joking now
Crossfire clock's run out, time's up, over, blaow!
 
 
Snap back to reality. Oh, there goes 480..
 


Oh, there goes 470, he choked..
He's so mad, but he won't give up that
Easy, no
He won't have it, he knows his whole back's to these 14nm
It don't matter, he's dope
He knows that but AMD's broke
He's so sad that he knows
When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's
Back to the lab again, yo
 

This whole rhapsody
He better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him
 
Linus You Better...
 
 

Man, I almost missed this one!  

"I don't even have to touch anything and I'm already breaking things"

They found Linus in a factory.

 
 
 
 
 
I wouldn't be surprised if this is where Linus films The Wan Show.

Thanks for your help guys. I didn't even think of the SATA I vs. SATA III.

Linus wanted to stab you for not doing your job.
