I have an old 5.25" floppy with a game called "Starquake" in a drawer somewhere, along with a set of eight 3.5" floppies with Windows 3.1.  Those were good days.

 

The oldest PC still running here has a Core 2 Duo.  All of our regular and heavier tasks are done with newer computers of course, but that old Core 2 system still works surprisingly well.

Started the overhaul..

Can it be old pictures from when I still had them…?

I’ve got my first computer 20 years ago a slotted Pentium III 450mhz running Windows 95. Then upgraded to a Pentium 4 with RamBus memory running Windows 2000 and from there it only took me a while to start modding and upgrading myself - back then it was really expensive so I wasn’t really ready to risk breaking anything right away.

 

I really enjoyed playing around with it once I learned how to do it and used to get/share my ideas on the www.ocforums.com and if PhotoBucket hadn’t killed my photos anyone would be able to see how gheto my contraptions were lol

Also my first case-mod which I still have the pictures.

Nothing on that case was stock I had to ask a car painter to get that silver properly and my side panel was real glass as I couldn’t get an acrylic one.

Plus keep in mind that in those days RGB wasn’t easy to get and case mods weren’t as easy to get as it is today:

 

(And seeing that now - silver with handles - ain’t no surprise I liked Apple’s design for the aluminium PowerMac which came a couple years after this)

 

 

Then these are the pictures of what I think was my last PC - and I sure did overclocked it too:

 

 

 

 

 

Also had the iBook Indigo running OS9 (purchased fairly recently):

 

 

 

 

And I'm currently trying to overclock a PowerBook G4 1.5ghz:

EDIT: I Almost forgot that I've been playing around with some Linux distros recently (highly recommend ZorinOS and ChaletOS - also MorphOS for PPCs) and my Bluetooth kb+m don't play nice with them so I bought a Apple kb+m (which I don't recommend the mouse for the lack of 2 buttons - but they do look great so I kept them both)

3x Fans at Front,.. 2x 120 in expected positions,.. and another Noctua in the 5.25 bay (Mesh Front)

The HD7870 Myst has more Shaders than typical HD7870's, if only it also had 3GB VRAM.
Currently hooked to my 1080p TV, for Media playback and such offloaded tasks from the GPU.
But occasionally test its prowess in newer things to see how badly it fails, or not...

One step down, I still have a few graphics cards from the by-gone era of AGP. including a GeForce 2. Further step down... well see attachments.

E4500? yum. Currently have DDR2 in my system, so I can't show it off. Don't have anything old because I'm 12.

 

EDIT -- 23-7-14 I do not run my system with DDR2 anymore. I still have a Core 2 Quad Q9500, a E7500, and a E5300.

I was 9 yo until the real YT rewind was uploaded, now I am 12 yo.

[21starsinthesky]

I currently have an old first gen core i3 540 that is being used however I have an Amd Athlon 64 (non working) and an old Intel Celeron which might be working lying around I dont have any pictures yet but I will be taking them soon 

[Kody Priddy]

 

[BrianTheElectrician]

Haha, old tech we have... oh boy. I might have a bit. Oldest machine is a Compaq Portable Plus from 1983 - 8088 @ 4.77mhz, 5.25 floppy and a whopping 20mb hdd. Then a 286, 386, 486 with extra parts and then I don't even know how many Pentiums and Pentium IIs.

 

I have more old motherboards and cards than I really know what to do with atm. I think I like old computers lol.

OMFG. You have no idea how much i am drooling over all those machines......

 

Poor things just sitting there collecting dust  

[BrianTheElectrician]

Haha yeah, and that's not all of it. The shelf goes about the same distance off to the right and left. Right is full of old machines as well. I lost count a long time ago haha but I got in good with a place that recycles computers and they let me come in and take my pick. In exchange I do a few odd repairs and bring some beer every so often. Works out pretty good

 

Lets just say I can fill Anthony's shelf many times over

 

@8uhbbhu8 Are you in the lower mainland?

Lol yes it is that. I meant Lower Mainland as in Greater Vancouver. I'm in Langley, about 10 mins from LMG.

 

To stay somewhat on topic, here's another pic haha

Wow that shot makes my pants happy  

[BrianTheElectrician]

I can't really say exactly, they're not really supposed to let people take the machines... the manager could get in trouble. He likes me though so all's good haha. If your local though and need something ill do what I can to help. Heck, just for ram I have pretty much everything going back to the old 30 pin Simms. Even have a few of the cache ram ICs from when that was on the motherboard.

[lyiriyah]

i have a cardslot pentium II

[waynedalton]

some of my older machines .. , Ill add on some even older stuff later when i can be bothered pulling it from storage 

[waynedalton]

If i remember rightly
Xfx 790ultra sli  mobo 
q4400 core 2 quad cpu or q9470 ?
4 or 8 gig of supertalent ddr3 1333
2 x xfx 9800gx2's
4 x 500gig bara's in raid 0
originally a corsair 850w but ended up with a thermaltake 1200 toughpower psu 
the first one was a gigbyte ga-p35 ddr2 mobo with a 8800gtx 750 ? and i think that still had the q4400 quad in it  that migrated to the next build

Not a computer in the traditional sense, but I picked up this Hewlet Packard vector network analyzer over the holidays. This one specifically is from the early 90s and can perform measurements over a 3 ghz span in it's current setup, or 6ghz with the proper s-parameter test set.
