The first item is a 5 1/4 inch floppy diskette "Minifloppy" manufactured be 3M, is single sided, coated with 2 µm magnetic iron oxide, and is a high density, thus providing up to 1.2Mb of data storage!

 

The following three images are of an early "Mechanical Sample" from an Intel Pentium "P54C" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P5_(microarchitecture) This chip was released before an actual engineering sample was even made. The retail chip featured 3.2 Million transistors, operated at 3.3 Volts, and had a whopping 120 Mhz clock speed (I kid you not).

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

My school's stationery still sells them. I have no idea why, none of the computers can read them.

my first ever pc

at least what's left of it :D

too bad i didn't took better care of it, i'm regreting it now :/

just threw it in the attic and left it there for about 15 years now :o

and while it was there it also suffered the curiousness of my little bro, which tore it apart completely, all that's left is this :( (mobo and what appears to be a gpu, at least from the output connector :D)

i remember it had 133mhz processor with 166mhz turbo, the turbo button was next to the power and reset switch :D

it had cd tray and 3,5 and 5,25 floppy disk tray!

fun days

you could almost play supaplex in real life!

and the gpu probably :D

20140125165916.jpg

 

20140125165925.jpg

 

it introduced me to supaplex, dyna man, popcorn and awesome games alike, internet was still a wild unknown thing to me, i think it didn't have anything to connect it with anyways

 

p.s.

i think it's gonna be 19 years old this year

placa-video-forsa-8500gt-1024mb-fsxfx850

that's a 8500gt. I've changed it when 4 capacitors exploded. over the course of about 3 months. only then it died

the card is 2 way sli compatible but they "blocked" that function by sticking a piece of duct tape over the connector:p

Finally took apart the Seagate I mentioned earlier and took some photos, The Perfect mirror finish of the disk made for a very interesting subject with a lot of opportunities. Again some links for higher resolution.

Also... why are you using a HD 5670 with a Pentium IV O.o?

because my old gpu(8500gt) died 2 years ago. and since then I have  this card "/

You guys are posting hardware that isn't really retro.. So if it counts I have a Geforce 8800GT 320MB card that I revived, modified, and put into my system. (I revived a second 8800GT and gave it back to my dad too.)

 

DSC00790_zpsef8af996.jpg

 

In stock form with new thermal paste it was running 230F under a benchmark. After I did this and stuck a fan on there it was running 150F under same conditions. But to have it fit in the bottom slot I had to take the fan off otherwise I wouldn't be able to have my ethernet card in there which I need since the onboard is stuck in sleep mode forever.
