Retro Build Help

Go to solution Solved by Mira Yurizaki,

You could try scouring for local mom and pop computer repair shops or other used computer stores. Otherwise eBay or other online auction or classifieds-like places are your only real bet.

 

If what you want is too expensive, you may have to adjust what to look for. For example, if Pentium III's are too expensive, you could try looking for AMD Athlons or K6-2s.

Hello every one I want to do a retro build looking for some help sourcing parts I would like to do a Windows 98 build Pentium 3 but I am having little luck finding a good sorce for older hardware local here in London, ON I any one has any good sorces let me know. I have looked on ebay but pricing is crazy.

 

Thank You

What about AliExpress/TaoBao/GearBest?

Purify your Windows 10/11, don't give Microsoft anything that you don't want to share.

Yeah just seems the late 90s though 2000s tech goes for a mint now a K6-2 or k6-3 or Athlon would work as well it's the clock speed I would have to tweak on the Athlon units but might be a good plan like the Athlon barton 2800+ or 3200 and just under clock it. Thank you was not thinking out of the box
