I am in the US. Illinois, Chicago area.

Me too actually, about an hour south of the city and I work in Hazel Crest which is by the 80/57/90/94 clusterfuck bermuda triangle of interstate highways.

 

If you want me to lob it at your from a safe 6-18ft distance I'm sure that could be arranged, I've got some other semi-old stuff that needs to be re-homed as well but I'll be honest most of it is junk.

I have a 2004 blue Dell Inspiron 4000 laptop with a Pentium 4@2.8 ghz, 384 mb of ram, and a ATI Radeon 7500 (unfortunately the drive is dead and I can only get into the bios).  I also have a Lenovo Thinkpad T400s that I upgraded to win10 (It auto activated a PRO license!). It has a Centrino Duo p9400@2.4 ghz, 4 gb of ram, and a 240 gb hdd. I use it as a secondary machine (My main is a Thinkpad L380 Yoga with an 8250u and 256 gb ssd).

My primary system: Core I7 10700k, 32 gb Trident Z RGB ram@3200mhz, EVGA GTX 970 SSC (will upgrade), NZXT N7 Z490 motherboard (Black), Samsung 970 Evo plus 1TB SSD, NZXT C850 PSU, Hyper 212 EVO cooler (getting new water cooler soon), NZXT H510i case. 

 

My secondary system: Core I7 4820k, 16 gb quad channel 1600mhz ram, GTX 780 reference, Asus PX79LE, SK Hynix GOLD s31 500gb SSD, some 10 yr old Cooler Master 750w psu, Hyper 212, old Cooler Master case.

 

Laptop: Lenovo l380 yoga I5 8250u, 8gb ram, 256gb ssd storage)

3.2 is more common than I thought, then.

My (sadly now dead) Seagate ST33232A Compaq was 3227MB, or 3.227GB.

Yeah 3.2gb does seem to have been common. Quite a few of my Fujitsu drives are 3.2gb as well.

 

When I was in high school a little shop I helped at had some of those old Dell's but the desktop version not the tower. I remember them fondly but never came across one myself to own. If I do I'm planning to grab one to add to my collection.

I don't know if this counts as old but I have two HP Z400s. I don't know the exact specs but this system supports a variety of Xeon W processors ranging from dual core to quad core. It also has six dimms of 24GB ECC unbuffered DDR3 1333MHZ.

If it's not LGA775 or older, then no. It doesn't count.

Did you want that drive? PM me if you do.

Brian has me covered on drives, but if you're still willing to give it up, I might take it.

absolutely you can have it! want a nice Asus P4 3.4E (does 4ghz OC!) system with one little catch? How about a Soyo Socket 370 I can't get to boot? lol. I do have a solid Enermax 500W PSU though, super skookum for older systems.

I'm not sure if I need it - do you think a 250W unit will be fine?

Probably, but you can just have it anyway. It's older than I need, it's got a very strong 5V rail on it which is ideal for old systems and is an amazing 70something percent efficient (which was good for those days).

 

I also have a complete (I think) P4 system (2.8ghz I think) with a Geforce 3. I'm trying to shed myself of all my systems running DDR and DDR2. I've got a few complete Core2Duo system sans case and drives (board, cpu, ram, gpu). Whatever you want is yours for the taking, come and get it (at somewhere reasonable and safe to meet and make a socially distanced covid safe hand off).

Diagonal Mario 2 on a yellow 3.5" HD floppy disk:

Yes, the ROM is 2K, but I removed the 700 or so bytes of padding data. It works fine.

Late 1980's Atari full chipset. Ram is obvious, small chip with pins below is floppy controller, long chip with pins below is keyboard controller. Top left is CPU, then one of the smaller square ones is GPU and the other I can't identify.

Ooh, 30-pin SIMMS!
I've got 6 72-pin SIMMs (2 4MB modules, 4 mystery modules) but no 30-pin.
What are the other chips?

An ASUS motherboard, with 4GB of RAM and a Phenom x4 9000 series from 2006 (unknown model). Bought it on ebay for one cent. Yes, one cent. Am planning a retro/Windows Vista build with it, featuring a Radeon HD 4870 x2.
