I've seen newish GPUs posted, and nobody was bothered by them. One man's junk is another man's nostalgia :) E8400 launched on Jan 8 2008 and last shipped on Feb 10 2012 (dates checked on cpu-world.com)

Besides, there is no thread rule to say pics have to be 10 years old or anything :)

deception the A7N8X-E Deluxe arrived in a A7N8X box ... and even worse inside : a Shuttle AK10 V1.0, SAY WHAT a SDR 100/133 mobo??? VIA KT133 chipset????

oh well not too disappointed in the end for 1.10chf i am ok
oh wait that mean i keep my RED MSI mobo for the build ... YAAAAAAY no brownish mobo! (still got to find a nF2 400 Ultra mobo ...)

so that was the board

The Abit download sped up after I commented how slow it was. I now have the complete file, thanks to all for the upload and anyone seeding.

Seems like I beat you at that,while you beat me at the CPU section :roll:
View attachment 58655
And GPU! :D
Your post made me laugh a lot. My friend offered me 1GB DDR2 for $5 or 1x 1GB + 2x 512MB DDR2 for $10. I will grab it all! :D
Next will be A64 X2 that I can buy for $10 and some cheap 1080p monitor because I can't stand 1280x1024 :p

I find my LCD monitor pretty good,seeing it's a 22' monitor and native resolution is 1680x1050 (1050p? :D)

Also I set my startup sound to be the 1992 20th Century Fox theme instead of Windows 7's startup sound :cool:

i would say ... almost time for a test drive ... FSP 250 and 3x128mb (yep i had only 2 x 128mb SDR PC100 aside ... and single sided ... the one i received with the mobo is a double sided, i hope it will not be a problem)

let's say i will use the 3D Prophet 4000XT

I've had some nostalgic hardware for a while, including two working K6-II systems (both poopy SiS5598 chipset boards, an OEM ASUS SPAX I got from an HP 6330 at college, and I bought an ASUS SP97-V a few months ago to test EDO SIMMs), but this morning I finally put XP on my PIII-S 1.4GHz/Intel D815EFV and popped in my recently acquired 3dfx Voodoo3 3000 AGP 16MB which only works on this board due to 3.3v AGP of of course, and decided to use "AmigaSport" drivers for XP as I'm a 3dfx n00b. Anyway, a 3DMark01 run got me this, and I think the 815 IGP probably scores about 1200 if I recall, will have to bench it sometime. I certainly noticed graphical anomalies that might be characteristic of the Voodoo chipsets compared to native DX chips, the 16bit color rendering limitation being one of them, but also GT1 seemed washed out (the truck was pink instead of red) and the single/multi-texturing tests had an interesting pixel effect where it looked like the image was composed of points surrounded by dark pixels.

I also have a TNT2 M64(32MB?), Rage 128 AIW and Radeon 7500 32MB to test, the first two along with the Voodoo I bought from Guitarassdeamor a few weeks ago, and the 7500 I got from college out of an Optiplex GX260.

Still haven't got my lighting sorted - I've just bought some different bulbs on eBay to experiment with. My current lighting isn't powerful enough, but here's my first pic anyway.



This is the board I'll be using to test my VLB graphics cards. The CPU is an AMD 5x86-133. I have others, but this one has the heatsink glued on (not my preference, but it works). I'll be swapping the RAM out for 64MB FPM, the max this board can take. The case I'll use for it isn't very retro. It's just a nice bright pink case I bought about 10 years ago :) I'll have pics of other hardware when I get to try out some other lighting.

Have nothing "new" to post, but I sold my HD5870s* and now I'm using HD2900GT... Oh sweet lord this is SLOW card, Diablo III RoS runs on 40-60fps when everything is turned to low and resolution is 1360x768. :D

*probably an used GTX660Ti coming soon, costs 150 euros.

that's what i paid for my R9 290 ... but hey not a bad price for a 660Ti (with a strike of luck you might be able to find a good deal on a 760/770 or 280/280X i start to see some around 200chf and lower, probably due to the upcoming 880 and 285 )

hummmm ... 8chf might be interested ...


too bad this one is a bit too high for what it is ... (well ... )

unfortunately i don't have them too expensive for me atm :( but the 386 i might get it for my collection, i had a Commodor with a 286 under 3.1 back, but i can't find it in my boxes left from my last move from one place to another

small modification on the HSF ... i used the fan and the thermal probe of the Veriton FP PIII
