umm what about this one?

One Ancient Commodore Amiga Runs the Heat and AC for 19 Public Schools

Somewhere in Grand Rapids, Michigan, there is an ancient Commodore Amiga that is hard at work. For over a quarter century it has been controlling the heat and air conditioning at 19 different schools and running nonstop. It's still kicking, for now anyway.

I know it's not computer related...or maybe the first computers.

I can't find any informations online about this specific Type W engines.

I am planning a full restauration on this engine that still turn silently after being made in 1933.

Can someone help me out?

Thank you guys.

2 more new PCs:

Gigabyte GA-8IPE1000-G (strangely board says only 8IPE1000 and has no ethernet port)
2x Realtek 8139D NICs (equivalent to
Radeon HD3450 512MB
Winfast TV2000XP Deluxe
Pentium 4 2.8GHz (Northwood core)
2GB Dual channel DDR400 RAM (4x512MB)
80GB WDC WD800JD-55MSA1
Premier LC-B400ATX (recapped and upgraded 12v rectifier,5v to be upgraded later, replaced fan with a AVC 80mm jet engine fan)

Not sure if I can post the desktop of it since it's quite NSW. If anybody of you wants it then ask and I'll try posting it.

2nd:

ASUS K8V-X SE
ASUS A9250GE 256MB (Radeon 9250 256MB)
AMD Sempron 3000+
Maxtor 6E020L0 20GB
Maxtor D740X 40GB
768MB RAM
K8T800 chipset
no PSU atm,trying to fix some of my Deer-based PSUs from my pile of HW.

Also,I need to fix the K8V-X SE as I accidentally broke one corner of the bios chip socket and now it won't POST. Anybody know a fix?

-no pics this time,I don't have my camera with me-

Got some freebies:

PixelView FX5200 128MB - crossflashed by me to FX5500 with custom sign on text
Deer-built (Deer/L&C if anybody remembers them) beige PC case - only one panel is removable
Premier LC-B400ATX PSU - came with the case - had some wires cut (put them back anyways) - modded it by installing rocker switch in place of monitor plug,replaced heatsinks and installed a 16A rectifier for 12v - anybody who has a PSU beginning with LC-LxxxATX (where 2nd L is letter) will know that
Gigabyte GA-8IPE1000-G w/Pentium 4 2.8GHz (Northwood)
Floppy drive
Foxconn 661M04-MX-6L - dead,came with 2.4GHz Celeron D,has corrosion on BIOS chip and ITE IT8705F chip

Years ago when I upgraded a server it was a set of 8CD-ROM drives attached to a single spindle and mapped to be the primary fixed database on a NT 4.0 back office machine.

Holy shit, its this.

I do remember getting a lot of Deer psu's couple of years ago.

Mussels · Jun 20, 2015

its too cold to go out and get pics, but i actually found a PCI VooDoo card in the shed, not sure what model. Might be the original, but it has the 'SLI' cable attached to an S3 card.

btarunr · Jun 20, 2015

Look what I dug out of the closet.

The card I played Crysis with, for the very first time.

Chunky 10-layer PCB, back when NVIDIA didn't cheap out with components on its reference boards.

Don't worry,where I live there are LOTS of them,along with Linkworlds.

My main dual core PC's PSU is a Linkworld I built out of a few scrap PSUs. (a 400W Powerlink,a dead 450W DeluX for the casing and SATA wires)

On a side note,I have my 2 PCs I've built (the "K7N2" rig and the "2.8GHz Project") run on Deer-built PSUs,rebranded "Premier".

The first one (LC-B400ATX) is in my K7N2 rig now. (the MB is temporarily though,I'm expecting to replace it with a S754 Sempron 3000+)

I installed the new one (a 2006 LC-C400ATX,the fan was caked in dust but the motherboard was incredibly CLEAN! Installed a modded Yate Loon fan I had in my pile of PSU fans) in the "2.8GHz Project" rig.

That's a VooDoo 1 card, Diamond Monster 3D. The cable is a VGA pass through cable, SLI was only available for a pair of VooDoo 2 cards, and the relevant cable connected the cards inside the case. The VGA pass-through cable was required to feed the signal from a 2D graphics card into the Voodoo card, which then provided the signal to the output device.

Nice find anyway

ahah... 9800GT 1gb from HP from my side ... well the 8800 and 9800 where the same tho

too bad that one is "FUBAR" (tho i still have my 8800 Ultra with the Prolimatech MK-26 on)

Back when Nvidia made cards with turbines instead of big ass fans.

So i finally decided to build me an XP gaming rig from what parts i got....after some thinking (skt478 or S939) i decided to go with this :slap:

Gigabyte GA-8I945P-G/Intel Pentium D 940/2x1GB 2x512MB RAM/ Creative Audigy (for the few games that support EAX AdvHD) and just for fun.... :rolleyes:

i get to decide between an X1600 pro, a 9800GT and a GTS 250.....well 2 cards are the same just different name :roll:

(sadly that GTX295 poking on top is dead....)

But...i'll need to buy an HDD and find that winxp CD so i guess it'll take a few days to get ready
