AMD Phenom II x4 955 BE

AsRock am2nf3-vsta

2x2Gb corsair gaming ram

Samsung 860 Evo 1TB

Soundblaster sound card

A psu

Lian Li O11 air mini

 

I still need to a cooler 

And add rgb

The case is worth more than the rest of the PC

Does it run Windows 98 ?

Is the PSU invisible or just hidden?

It's a so ancient tech is doesn't need power

That's a nice VGA cooler on that card. Aftermarket?

picopsu in the atx-20pin
I thought it would look neat, just 12v going to it from the psu and then it powers the board and gpu and ssd.

stock cooler, its a HIS brand.
it's the holy grail of agp gpus, the best one anyone ever made

I'm confused rn because I bought a 955BE cpu and the board and windows are reporting it as a 980 BE which is a much more expensive cpu lol
too lazy to clean the thermalpaste and read the cpu physically so I'm just going to go with it

the mb is one of the best agp mb so its worth somthing like $200 probly

sorta is lol, sometimes they go for cheap sometimes $200+
the gpu also isnt cheap or apparently the cpu now
whole thing would be like 600-700 bucks to replicate lol but of course I didnt pay nearly that for the lot

one downside, no hardware acceleration in firefox so scrolling the web is kinda junk.
but it gets 250 lows and mostly stays capped at 299 in cs:s
Hanvnt tried any other games yet but no doubt it will play anything and everything that lets you open it with directx 10.

so whats the story on it? how did you come across it?

imo if you really dont care about its collector status you could sell it and build a faster cheaper xp pc if thats what your going for?

 

a gtx 275 would be a good mid xp gpu or even and 8800 but i think thow are collectors too

I got the gpu for $7 from a thrift store about 2.5 years ago and just started looking for something to put it in.
Eventually settled on this board because it supported the agp gpu without also having pci-e slots (which ruins the soul), and supported quad core cpus and 1066mhz ddr2.
then came 2 years of waiting for one to come up for a reasonable price which one finally did at $79.
Then I got the case as open box for like $110
got the cpu for $20
got the ram from the side of the road for free

I kinda wanted basically this so I dont really plan to sell it but I definitely want to find a more appropriate retro case
Sure you can make a faster xp computer, but you literally cant make a faster AGP only computer than this.

I saw that yeah, its an interesting build. at that point the hardware is more than capable of playing modern games but without dx11 support. youre going to absolutely dominate dx9 though

One thing I don't like about this case is to get the wires up to the ssd and have it on display like that, I had to bend this part which is stupid, what's the point of these trays without a way to get cables in there?
