They look OK atm. Obviously with no charge left in them after so long, they will need changing. 

I've believe they could be soldered on, so I'll take a chance that they'll not leak within the next few weeks. 

they cannot be charged

He said change, not charge.

Bought this system back in 2010. The motherboard and harddisk died so i had to to change them. But this thing runs on win7 perfectly still today and i use it rarely to play games from 5 years ago like fifa 15, nfs the run, COD MW3 etc....just to remember how those days were. I've got a 9th gen core i5 pc as my main rig but i decided to keep that old friend.

 

specs:

- core 2 duo E8400

- 2+2 GB DDR3 1333 MHz RAM from Team

- Esonic G41 mobo (Bought after the Asus G41 mobo died)

- Gigabyte Radeon HD 6670 graphics card

- Valuetop 450 watt psu (overkill !)

- 120 GB 2.5 inch SSD (bought after the HDD died)

- A DVD rom that still works! 

 

There's also a fully working Samsung 18.5 inch monitor of 1366x768 resolution connected to it.

Was cleaning out some drawers and happened upon my old Core i7-920 that originally came in a $2k Alienware system that I bought through my employer's computer loan program over a decade ago. Also some EDO SIMMs. Not too old, but somewhat nostalgic. Think it'll run Crysis?

its nice to keep a old windows 7 system to play older games

this mourning I have been playing star wars battlefront 2 with BFX mods on a i5 2400 running butter smooth

 

in this pic I have my windows 10 machine with music then my old windows 7 system on the desk (that GPU on the desk is a GT710 that prevented Battlefront from running)

Have some old things to marvel at!

A Connor 120MB 2.5" IDE disk from ~1993:

A 486 coprocessor for an ARM-based RISC OS PC (RiscPC). Allows you to run DOS/Windows alongside the host OS, sharing RAM and storage, and ultimately bottlenecked by a woeful 16MHz bus... fun though!

Spoiler

I have other wonders if anyone is interested  

[TwilightRavens]

I wouldn't call this retro but I have a mix of parts that i've collected over the years. Really the only thing i have to be proud of lol as I have all of them and they all still work (except the GTX 660 bottom right gpu on the floor, it reads as PCI-E 1x for some reason).

 Today I thought we would do something fun and different. This is a topic about showing of all your old pc parts (or old computers). Feel free to post some pics:) It will be fun:D

 

Here's some of mine:

 

 

Kingston Hyperx DDR2 2GB 1066MHz

 

 

Intel core 2 duo 2.2 GHz

 

 

Intel core 2 duo 2.2 GHz backside

I had a 500mb ram and 50 gb HDD and a intel pentium 4

[Estiar]

This is the case I built my computer out of. It is a server case, with a Supermicro X8SAX (seen on the floor) This was a board that had a 2009 BIOS, and would be a few generations behind. I still use the power supply, though I need a new one for my new Vega card. The server had a Xeon E3500 in it.

[Rarity]

somehow collecting old  pc stuff is kinda fun , lol .. a gtx 295 in the other system(Fx8320E , 16gb ram , 1 ssd ) and a x1950Xt which is gonna be flashed to a mac version (i have a g5  )

[jake_man]

my model M122. coolest looking IBM ever made IMO

[Estiar]

Around this time, Intel made a series of bugged pentium processors that would calculate the wrong numbers. A software fix was built into windows 95 and 98 to correct for this. I don't know if this is one of those processors, but I do know that this piece of tech is over 25 years old now.

[SimplyChunk]

Hey people.  Just picked up this (from what I remember at the time) very funny laughing stock from my local CEX for 3 quid total.

 

OCZ2N800SR4GK 2X2GB SLi Ready kit

 

and yes the peelies are still on the SLi badges

[Marbo]

Found this under a load of crusty thermal paste. 

 

 

Put back reapplied paste, changed the unusual size cmos battery. My Ast fired up into Windows 95,after a little tinkering in the bios.

An original Pentium chip (that failed QA).  Intel gave these out to industry insiders during original launch of the Intel Pentium in 1995.
