Yes, more Vista. This is good.

I have that board, great overclocker, paid $75 bucks for mine (US) a few years back. Pick up some 775 chips and some good cooling and go crazy with it

133mhz Hitachi SH3, 16mb of ram and a 128mb conpact flash card. There's very little detail out there on much else about it.

Fun fact, this is the only version of Windows that runs on a RISC processor without x86 emulation.

I remember Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 can also to run on a RISC processor (WinNT4 : DEC Alpha, MIPS, PowerPC and Win2k : DEC Alpha)

A Pentium III 650MHz

I love the giant AT&T chip on it.

A year ago, my old 20GB IDE hard disk drive (release in 2001) became defective. It was display on POST. It was first time I see it. The motherboard is ASUS P2B-F (release in 1998). It's really good to inform the problem of hard disk drive when you boot your computer

some of the old random tech in my collection.

I have an old copper-full motherboard. Can anyone tell me which Pentium processor this is? I have no idea.An old Hard Drive I had found in a large metal server next to the trash.

 

Part 2 edit on 1/7/18 because this topic seems popular. 

I've got a couple other things not in the pictures, didn't want to drag them out of storage. 

 

 

 

 

 

Original Pentium in a socket 7 motherboard if memory serves me.  Part of the reason intel went to slot 1 aside from the fact they needed to split up the Pentium Pro to a chip and board format so they could solve yield issues, was because AMD was making k5 processors and the upcoming k6 used the same socket.  And Intel was sick of this.

these are parts for an in progress retro build. i'm gonna assemble it tommorow when the PSU i ordered for it arrives

 

excuse the dust. part of assembling will be blowing this stuff off with compressed air. 

 

If you can find a good old Celeron you could have fun overclocking it using modern cooling.

Updated pic of the duallie now that it no longer needs the 140mm fan to keep the 9600 Pro cool (needed to steal the LNA for the front fan to swap out the CPU fan to a Beta SL, aka the front 80mm fan goes full send now). If I end up keeping this rig in this case I'm definitely going to have to grab the best 80mm fan Noctua makes because while the front fan does move a ton of air, it does so while sounding like wind tunnel.

Not that "old" but I just finished tearing down my old Ivy Bridge daily driver I built back in 2013 (granted it had 2x GTX 770's originally, not a GTX 1070). I keep my boxes, so I did a box family photo after the teardown.

Does that sticker say it COMES with defects noted on it?

WOW

Love my 840 Pro, didn't the regular 840s have issues with the firmware or something? I remember picking up my 128gb Pro back in 2013 for $111 exactly at Best Buy

840 EVO's did yeah, like a performance bug with old data or something like that.

 

Also remember getting my 120GB 840 EVO in 2013 for 100 bucks exactly.

[SPARTAN VI]

Yup, there was a firmware patch for it. Still using it to this day in my wife's daily driver, through it's taken a backseat to the 950 Pro overkill SSD that's in there now.

 

Some other photos I recently found:

 

 

From what I can tell:

• CPU: Athlon 64 3700+ (San Diego)
• GPU: 2x 3DFuzion GeForce 7800 GT's
• Memory: 1GB (2x512MB) OCZ Platinum Edition DDR-400
• Case: Apevia X-Dreamer II

I even still have a screenshot from 3DMark05

 

Purchased the videocard from Monarch Computer and they accidentally sent me a box of 4 when I only ordered 1:

 

Took this today because I'm finally selling them:

I have some old Corsair DDR-400 too. Guess "Platinum" stuff was really popular back then:
