[KirbyTech]

Mine would be the original iPod, don't see a need to replace it. Works great for attaching to the boat stereo system.

I have an old hp pc sitting the corner of my room but I don't use it. An xbox 360 is over there with it too . I guess I should just call it the "crap corner."

[Dabombinable]

I still use an old AMD Athlon XP computer from around 2004. It's in my signature.

 

Infact this post was typed and posted from that exact computer. It runs Windows XP like a BOSS!

^Just told Microsoft to get fucked with their newer OS and enforced hardware upgrades.

VGA cable connected to my 1680X1050p monitor.

My PC case is from 2003. Please send help.

I have this S340 sitting right next to me, but I don't really want to put this old AM3 board in it when I'm days away from getting new parts to put into it.

 

Also I have an original Sidewinder flight stick that I still use and still works well.

My keyboard is a 1990 IBM model M (grey label). It's more than 5 years older than me.

[flibberdipper]

My old Compaq ProSignia 165 laptop, Latitude E4300, parts for one of my old builds, soon to be a dual PIII board, and maybe something like an ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe... My OptiPlex 760... OptiPlex 170L... An old Lenovo LGA 775 board... Maybe an old Socket 939 board... I still use a lot of old shit.

 

EDIT: Forgot about my PS2 and GTX 480.

[SuperYam]

Really only still use two daily.

 

1987 IBM Model M- Great story about this. Found it in a electronics dump at the university, was just walking by and I noticed it was lying there, along with some old servers. There were two of 'em, I picked up the newer one and a friend took the other one. Guess the uni just wanted to upgrade and didn't realize the value in them. Dusted it off, cleaned it up and now I use it almost every day.

 

Sony Walkman (Still listen to some old tapes on it)

 

 

Plus all the old consoles-

Super Nintendo, Limited Edition Gamecube, original Arcade XBox 360 (gift from a friend)

 

Don't use them on a daily basis though.

I keep my old Toshiba A70 laptop which runs a nuclear-powered Pentium 4 desktop chip. It's down to four minutes of battery life but I keep the old girl around for tuning my Firebird's EPROM. Need the serial connection for the ALDL cable and Windows XP.

 

I also have an assortment of Athlon XPs; AMD K6-2s; Pentium IIs; S939 Athlon 64s and Core 2 hardware that makes it's rounds across my test bench when I get bored and feel like tinkering. Oddly enough about 90% of it is stuff that used to be my main system at one point in a decade or other.

 

Ugh I feel old today.

wait did i read that correctly a "nuclear powered pentium"

[shredderman]

1989 IBM Model M. Best keyboard I've ever had.

[ApolloX75]

Average core temp runs about 105C. Toshiba thought it was a great idea to jam a desktop Pentium 4 Extreme with hyperthreading into a consumer grade chassis. It weighs a ton and is slow as shit.

Gets about 7 minutes of battery life too. 30 when it was new.

Ethernet cable

Reliable connection. Best for live streaming.

I was handed a box of old computer parts to do with as I pleased. I figured, for fun, I'd share the GPU's I pulled out of the box.

 

These are all way before my time as a computer builder, so they are really fun to read about and look at. I should also mention that I'm pulling images from Google.

 

In no particular order:

 

1. Nvidia P73

 

 

2. 3dfx Voodoo 3

 

 

3. Trident Daytona 64T

 

4. MSI G4MX440

 

5. ATI Mach 64

 

 

6. STB Nitro 64V

 

 

 

7. ASUS AGP V7700

 

 

8. GAINWARD GeForce FX PowerPack

 

[Zach's Tech Tips]

did u happen to find one of these in that box?

[MattTheMayor]

mess around with them and try unscrewing them and see if you could put it back lol

[GigaSnow]

Yeah, but I thought they were CD Rom drives, so they went out with the morning trash.

[GigaSnow]

Also found a Pentium 4, and an AMD Athlon Classic.

 

I've never actually seen a cartridge-style CPU enclosure before, it's pretty neat.

I started my own thread, and a mod merged them.

I got some old towers laying around: (Excuse the horrible image quality of my 3GS)

 

 

1. Dell Optiplex GX110

Looks really rough but still runs like a top. This is the PC that got me into PCs! I did my first upgrades on this thing like

doubling the RAM to 512MB (WOAH!!!!) and adding some PCI GPU I can't recall the name of. This thing has a P3 @ 1 GHZ

and I remember when I saw that in the BIOS I started jumping up and down while screaming at the top of my lungs, I thought that

was just the most amazing thing EVER! Sadly I don't have IDE cables or RAM in it right now but I can add that easily.

 

 

2. Some other random old PC (Pentium 2 at 266mhz? Can't remember the clock speed atm)

 

And of course, my trusty GBA!

Nothing can kill this beast, not even going through the washer and dryer! That's happened to it twice, you can see how it

warped on the left.
