The motherboard I just picked up for my xp machine.

 

DFI LANPARTY  nF4 SLI-DR

1GB OCZ DDR 400 Dual Channel

AMD athlon 64 3000+

XP Pro

 

Will post pics of all my other stuff when I have some time. I have a Pentium @ 70mhz, Celeron 333MHz, Pentium 4 2.66GHz, Pentium 4 HT 3.0Ghz in various msi, intel and gigabyte motherboards. I also have a bunch of AMD processors and boards as well.

-snip-

That's a really nice XP rig, I've got one myself. Looking to replace the PSU on it so I can use my HD 4850 with it at some point.

 

Not looking forward to having to reinstall every 30 days though...

Thank you, I quite like it. I am running a BFG 450W PSU and a zotac nvidia geforce gt 610 2gb synergy edition.

 

I agree, having to reinstall that often is a pain.

It looks a heck of a lot better than my rig does. I'm thinking about getting a Corsair CX450M for mine since the case I'm using is really unfriendly for non-modular units.

 

I do have a 500W PSU that I would be using, but that one died on me which is really annoying, it was a fairly okay unit.

You really need to find some 80mm UV reactive fans for that case to go in the back (though they can be pricey-at least the 120mm ones I got my hands on are. $30-40 AUD each).

 That would look amazing!!

I actually have a neon blue and neon pink fan to put in the back of the case, just haven't gotten around to it yet. It will look awesome though. 

 

EDIT: I also need to do some cable management, I have some uv reactive IDE and SATA cables as well.

These were the fans I'm talking about, the impellers are made of UV reactive polycarbonate:

I do need to get myself 1x 80mm and another 120mm for my 2004 workstation case. Its the perfect colour for UV lighting (shame UV C tubes aren't safe to use).

Ok that's a lot cooler then what I have, I may have to go for that. Thank you for the recommendation.

Yeah that would be cool. I have 2 blue cold cathode lights in my main rig, their not bad. Would like to go full RGB strips though.

Got these drives today at a thrift store for ~$5 each  

 

1 6.4GB Ide drive for my ibm 300GL

4 9GB SCSI drives I'll be putting in my Pentium 3 Righ alongside the others that are in there. IF tthey work  and I can get my hands on another SCSI cable....

Sadly that would require America starting a few wars in the middle east and that in turn would raise the oil price and then maybe just maybe I would hopefully be able to get a job offshore again. But for now I am working as a forklift operator at B&Q which is the uk's equivelent of Home Depot and the money is utter pish.

 

 

or the Donald can just start WWIII....

Not nearly the oldest I've got, but it is hard to believe this stuff's 10 years old

going on ebay tonight (for the second time)

 

Speaking of which anyone else having problems selling tech on ebay uk with 0 bidder bots ruining all the auctions, seems to be a major problem ebay seem to be willing to do fuck all about and all they need to do to fix it is add email/cc verification.

The IT guy at my school has an old Apple II and some manuals so we talked about it for a bit.
