Someone decided to drop off some older hardware at the shop...



Oh did you think i was exaggerating?

I've got not one... but THREE Commodore 64s, 2 disk drives for them and a printer, I've also got a few cartridges too! And... I even have a Commodore 128 with a disk drive! Kinda curious if they even work...

A quick setup guide of sorts...



Here's a fancy flight sim that came with them...



It even still has the registration card lol



Not sure if software or hardware... a bit of both I suppose?



MOAR software... and some power bricks.



3 C64s!



A printer... probably won't be printing high quality photos with it though...



disk drives and things... for the C64s



Its a C128! If any of them work... I hope its this one!



Specs! Don't think it'll run Crysis though...



Might need this to load the software...



... and the software... well some of it.



I would run that windows experience index thingy... but for some reason I doubt it would work...

I kinda wish I had a controller and a mouse for them. I'm sure I'll track them down at some point. I'll let you guys know if I ever manage to get one or all of them working!
ooooooohhhh the jealousy is taking control of me .... RUN!

Good point. It's the older benoulli boxes that are relatively rare. I think I might have a zip drive someplace too.

ah yes indeed ... oh ... well

and ... the 8800Ultra (and her Prolimatech MK-26) in the 4U dual Opteron rack ... uuhhh i couldn't close the panel like that :roll:
sample001.jpg sample006.jpg sample004.jpg sample005.jpg
i need to figure out why the Ram amount vary from 3900~ to 2900~ (yep i never seen 4096 at POST like any of my other computer who had 4gb ... maybe the ECC works differently or i have some faulty stick ... i already checked similar issue on the SM H8DCE FAQ page but ... nope every answer given by them to a almost similar problem is ( i do a quick sarcasm ) "nope you still have 4gb ram, you are just freakingly stupid and installed a 32bit OS"

Been installing Test Drive 5 & suddenly this notification appeared in front of me ... I feel like a lucky winner!! :D (nah, just kidding)



Currently working on an old P4 build, Socket 478. I've had this one for a while now, but I had to replace the case, which means I've had to pull everything apart & back together again, to make a whole new cable management... It's quite unusual system, with the talking motherboard! The ONLY talking motherboard in my entire collection actually, and that means a LOT ;) Not sure what to think of this arrangement though, especially IDE & floppy cables, I want to hear your opinion. Is it a total disaster, complete mess & should I pull everything apart & go from scratch, or is it a cable-management masterpiece? Seriously, I want to hear your opinion on this one, I'd say it's probably somewhere on the edge between brilliant and terrible!



This is how the system looks from the outside, lots of IDE drives! 4 in total + FDD.



I also got this video card recently! Not sure if it works or not, but from what I understand it's somewhat rare. I've never heard of Kyro brand before, but from what I can tell, they've suffered the same fate as 3dfx :(

My A7N8X-E Deluxe has that feature in the BIOS too,but how do I activate it?

And about your WM: I like it,but here's a hint: hide the IDE and the main 20 pin ATX cable under the motherboard. The ATX cable will flex the board a little,but it's going to be safe. I've did that too without any problems.

Thanks, but I'd rather not :( PSU cable is pretty thick (it's even sleeved), so I'd have to strip it apart before it would be able to fit underneath. Not only that, but the soldering pins (under the mobo) might punch through the insulation at some point, causing terminal damage so to speak. Same thing with IDE cables, I've never really put anything under the motherboard, in either of my 27, 28 builds. With the exception of a sleeved case fan header, but only because it was small enough to fit.

If your A7N8X-E is anything like my P4B, there should be a 3-step configuration for speech POST feature. First of all, there should be a feature in BIOS, for enabling or disabling speech option... 2nd, there should be a jumper or a DIP switch of some sort on the board itself, for turning the feature on or off. In fact, you should also be able to find the jumper for configuring the sound output (through the internal system speaker or 3.5mm audio output jack on the back) I used to have mine routed through the internal speaker, but now that I've replaced the case I had to switch the jumper to on-board sound card, because I can barely hear anything from the internal speaker due to system noise coming from the fan(s) & hard drive.

Try DOWNLOADING the manual & see if you can work it out :)

I figured it out. I just plugged in my headphones and I could hear "POST completed. Booting from OS". Funny that it said it boots from OS when I boot from CD :roll:

Upgraded the CPU to a Athlon XP 1900+ btw. Now just to get the SIL3112 drivers for my SATA controller so I can install Windows Vista SP2 on it.

This old enough, it's an old Illiac Ii Computer board

I was looking on my local Site and a guy is selling this old piece of a computer..

this is what the add says and BTW he's asking $2000 for it.

THIS IS WHAT A MUSEUM SAID TO ME

You have a very rare piece of computer history there!

This is a circuit module/chassis from the University of Illinois ILLIAC II computer (1962).

We have several in the collection. There are 6-row units and 4-row units (like yours). (I’m calling the vertical busses running the length of the module “rows.”)

Here is a photo of our ILLIAC II 4-row unit

Congratulations on a real find!

Good guess @Mr.Scott but it is the awesome Msi Ms-6167 and it does have Amd (750) chipsets, Irongate northbridge and Viper southbridge.
Ehh.....was going mostly off the board color. KX133 is the chipset to have for slot A. ;)

This old enough, it's an old Illiac Ii Computer board

I was looking on my local Site and a guy is selling this old piece of a computer..

this is what the add says and BTW he's asking $2000 for it.
