Show off your old and retro computer parts

[Ceatra]

I think it is the integrated one, but there's another on there[cnet like 4 different models].  I'll have to check when I boot it up later.    Cuz the link in my sig might be the wrong one.  I just know the processor is a Pentium 4.

Mine had a ATi X800GT

 

(can't stop saying it )

 

Also... Shin Chan

Farty mcpoop fart, and I'll find out later tonight when I dl steam onto it again and load some games on it from there.  

@iHardware Shelden

 

Looks like I had a Dimension 8400

 

EDIT: Nope

Me thinks it's a Sempron 2200+.

It is, yes.

 

Shame I don't have a working board for it  

[cocochubu]

wow those are all new computers compared to my old 50 pound pc and parts collection from the 80s up to the 2000s. and my only laptop i have is an old toshiba from 1999 that is 10 months older then me running 98se. it still works great! lol i still also have a box of about 20 pounds of ribbon cables for who knows what.

[mluton]

A couple of bits of my old tech, don't seem that old to me though.

 

[GriffGourd]

Here's the story.

 

I got an old crap pc from my father when he moved offices. He found it in his storage closet, and I believe at some point it was the server for his website. It was super dusty and chances are it's probably just totally toasted (every single component) but I am just trying to set it up as a super basic PC for watching movies and stuff.

Specs:*

Pentium (idkwhich) 2.0Ghz

WD1200 caviar enhanced IDE HDD 120gb (possibly replace with a wd green drive)

 

1 gb of ddr2 ram (idk what kind or speed or anything, because I can't even BIOS.) hys72t64000hu-3.7-b

(I can upgrade that to 2 gb for 9 bucks, or 4 for 18, so this is changeable)

Basic LAN card

 

some weird card that IDK what it does, refer to photos

Hyper212 evo attatched with zip ties to the cpu socket.

 

basically, the HDD spins up, the led flashes, and then nothing. no output to the monitor. no anything really.

I am trying to fix this up. 

Plz, if anyone knows anything about this hardware, I would love it if they would just drop a comment.

[Atmos]

OH, so there was intended to be a story behind it. 

 

Lol...

 

 

And coolio OP, loving the modern heatsink on the old hardware. I'm blind, ignore that

[Aniallation]

Why is it attached using zip ties? 212 EVO has brackets for 775.

[Guest Johnny5g]

i like it what are you going to do with it? my company recycles computers.

I lost the mounting hardware

just like a basic media pc hopefully. I am NOT going to overclock, and i am probably just going to hook it up for things like document editing, internet browsing, music, and movies. EDIT: i might put some emulators on it as well. NES, SNES and gameboy type stuff.

yeah, for some reason, I cant do anything on the other post. It is weird, all I can do is like, not even respond.

Yea you didn't do anything w/ it for almost 17 minutes so the mods thought it was just a shitpost and locked it.

I may have accidentally closed the window, and thought it didn't post

[RollinLower]

all pics taken in low light conditions with a HTC One M7, so sorry for quality!

 

2 sticks of 512MB DDR RAM:

CPU+GPU from an old laptop. not entirely sure what they are, but i think they look pretty cool (GPU did not come off the MOBO easily)

Pentium 4 @2.8GHz (some pins broken or bend )

this is historical.

I currently own four Nvidia 8800GT/9800GT graphics cards for some weird reason. I dont know how I got them because I have no use for them but I could try a SLI setup for the fun of it.

Might use them for PhsyX

 

 

or give me one   

[The_Stig]

I might, assuming they work.

[Ceatra]

You mean, giving them to me, right???       

 

 

 

use them all for PhsyX

So my dad has worked in IT all his life, so I've always had old parts lying around.

 

One of my first computers had a pentium 3, and windows 95.

 

I still run a linux server with a cor 2 duo, and 4 gb or ddr 2 800, which I overclocked to about 915. (FSB overclock) (and the stupid motherboard dosn't boot of usb, so I still have to burn CDs, and wait a day and a half for them to load in the molasse slow IDE cd drive. (and its hilarious, 'cause I have a 64gb ssd for a boot drive))

 

I still have a dell Latitude D630, with a core 2 duo, and 8gb of ram as my regular laptop.

 

And, I have an old IBM Thinkpad T42 with a pentium 3 mobile edition, and 1gb of ram, running linux as a backup somewhere.

 

Also, I have the first MacBook Pro from like 2002 with a ufi loader, and linux mint on it, just for kicks and giggles to show my apple fan boy freinds. (they get really freaked out when text flys down the screen when it boots!

 

I also still have data over 10 years old sitting on various IDE drives around my room.

 

My proudest moment as a kid was overclocking a pentium 4 to just a little over 4Ghz.
