Show off your old and retro computer parts

[WhitetailAni]

I have another goodie:

A 1GB IBM 45G9467 hard drive that uses 50-pin SCSI.

No idea if it works - the computer that it came from didn't power on. When I plug it in it draws power, which is good, but I don't have a (working) SCSI controller to test it with.

Going to get a PCI SCSI controller card eventually.

I have many more things to show, so if you want more I will gladly produce:
72-pin SIMM memory

Power Mac G4 (PCI)

Crap ton of Dell QuietKey keyboards

Windows 10

A FireWire 400 cable

A 25-pin parallel to printer cable

Crap ton of Dell Intellimouse mice that use trackballs and PS/2

A stationary trackball mouse with 3 buttons, no scroll wheel, and a 9-pin serial interface

MS-DOS Plus Enhanced Tools 6.21

And maybe some more things that I don't remember

One of my better kits. Pretty rare now.

Anyone ever seen a set of these before?

Did I just see someone putting potato chips in an 8800 GTX? That hurts to watch.

Reminds me of that guy who scrapped a (fairly high spec) Pentium III for gold. 

Yeah that video is so painful to watch, when I first watched it felt like someone hit me in the gut with a sledge hammer.

Off topic alert! Off topic alert!

 

That was my job in middle school and it still sticks with me.

AT power supply.

Yes, AT.

Enjoy

 

P.S.

Flipping that comically large switch is so much fun...

For AT power supply, I have one too but ATX form factor with power button that can to put in modern case

 

 

 

[WhitetailAni]

I do too.

I've got a power strip that's got current sense to turn outlets on and off with the control socket. My Hitachi receiver and sub turn on/off when the monitor turns on/off.

- snip-

Now THAT is a sound card! Those are worth a lot now, and I need to add one to my collection one day. Oh man, original manuals and disks too and card looks to be in fantastic shape! 4mb 30 pin ram is pretty rare in and of itself as well.

Yeah, I got mine second hand. Didnt come with the display sadly, but not why I bought them.

 

225 to 250mhz at 2-0-0-5 or at higher speeds 3-0-0-5. Damn decent set for sure. 

And also have some BH5 here as well.

Raise your hand if you have all of the following types of memory (capacity does not matter):

72-pin SIMM

DDR1 DIMM

DDR2 DIMM

DDR2 SODIMM

DDR3 DIMM
DDR3 SODIMM
DDR4 DIMM

 

I have 4 of each (except for the DDR3 SODIMMs, only two. They are in my Mac Mini 2011.)

[Bitter]

Anyone remember when Nvidia and OCZ had SLI Ready RAM? I also seem to recall some other Nvidia SLI branded stuff back when I was running SLI and trying to look up every little thing to make it work better.

Does a 5450 count as retro?

I would say anything 25 years or older is vintage

Retro, I'd say is 20 years old.

I raise my hand to all of them... and will add 30 pin SIMMs to the "I have it" list too. Don't have a ton of the SODIMMs or DDR4 but the rest I literally have handfulls...

 

*Edit* Oh yeah, also have tons of PC133 and some PC100 SDram too...

I forgot about PC100/133 SDRAM.. oops.

I have 4x 1GB modules (PC133), 2x 128MB modules (PC100), 1x 256MB module (PC133), 1x 128MB module (PC133), and 1x 64MB module (PC100)

Woah not sure I have any 1gb sticks of SD but have lots of 128mb and 256mb modules, with some 64mb and 512mb thrown in. Even have a 32mb module or two, might even be PC66
