I think we need to have a whip-round and get this man a new camera!  

 

Looks interesting, but it's all blurred - can you try with more lighting, and better focus?

Retro camera is all!

Although those lovlies being on carpet freaks me out!

 

Some more of mine.

Is that a FX 5950 ultra?

All those cards are so clean though, also guessing those Hercules cards are rare?

Yes a 5950 Utlra!

The Hercules cards are, PowerVR Kyro II, and the other ATI 8500LE.
Not so rare, loads have started popping up on ebay lately.

I miss Hercules, I really liked their box designed.

The ATI, FURY RAGE MAXX cards are far more rare; more so than most 3DFX Voodoo cards.

I have an old copper-full motherboard. Can anyone tell me which Pentium processor this is? I have no idea. (This has been answered)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.

I believe that might be a celeron early model, because it doesn't look like a Pentium to me, or maybe its just the cooler that makes it look like a celeron, but dont take my word here.

ive been meaning to build a new rig for all my cards, but my god is it hard, to find boards that support AGP 3.3v, with Universal AGP.

 

I found the alpha and omega for Epox with Via KT333 chipset, but now I’m struggling to find a socket A cooler than can handle the Athlon XP 3000+.

Most out there still being sold top out at Athlon 2000 for compatibility and thermal dissipation.

 

I’m so close to a peak all rounder that’ll handle All my PCI and AGP cards. Including a very special Voodoo5 5800 special edition 

[CorruptedTech]

I have a windows 7 Installation dvd

 

OMG

 

We used to have a Windows Vista workstation. I remember the bubbles screensaver, but it wasn't the best OS

 

Also I have a old dell square monitor.

 

Now i use a 24 inch Lg monitor with Amd FreeSync and it has a high refresh rate

I have a virgin Windows Vista installation DVD and some Windows 98 and 95 installation CD's. Might even have some AOL cd's or cd cases floating around.

[Takt1kal]

My current setup and half a GB ddr2 RAM.

[looney]

I actually use this at lanparties, when people are still setting up that rigs I'm already playing Tetris
Plus its fun to mess with the crew asking them where the coax is so I can install my 10BASE5 tap/transceiver.

That's quite the machine! I'm betting it's got a dual scan (passive matrix) screen though so probably has a lot of ghosting in tetris Very cool!

 

I brought home a neat machine a couple nights ago, along with the original guts. Those of you who have Floatplane might recognize this machine... It's an old Micron Millennia MXE. Was a Pentium 166MMX, but someone kept that (Believe it was Colin) since it had a cool blue Micron cooler on it. I put in a 200MMX instead, a 4GB Quantum Fireball hard disk and a Sound Blaster AWE64 CT4500. Got the original motherboard and video card though... S3 Virge DX and brought the ram down to 64MB of EDO as a lot of the pentium chipsets had issues caching more than 64MB. You really don't need more than that in a Pentium 1 system anyway.

 

I even managed to score the original Micron keyboard...

 

I installed Windows 95C on it for the FAT32 support, as well as Office 97 Pro and Visual Studio 6 Enterprise and a few games like Anno 1602, Railroad Tycoon II, Age of Empires Gold and SimCity 2000 Special Edition. It's been a lot of fun to play with so far.

 

This machine is back how it should be, and all is right with the world lol. Now I just need to make a cover for the fan hole that was cut into the bottom...

From what I can see in the picture, there is plastic channel that is used in controller cabinets for routing wires on both sides of it. If I had to guess, I'd say it looks like a PLC or micro controller of some sort. It's mounted on DIN rail and I can see a circuit breaker behind it as well mounted on the same rail.

Correct, it's a Eaton / Delta PLC. 

And to answer Brian's other questions, yes the ghosting is atrocious on that laptop when playing tetris.

C64 stuff anyone?  

[Valentyn]

This is my crown jewel! I had to play detective and deal with someone in a micro state to secure it.

Now THAT is a video card! Now we just need to see it in a build, preferably with benchmarks

 

Pretty please?
