TPU's Nostalgic Hardware Club

Pretty much as the title states, this club is for TPU members that have some nostalgic hardware they want to share pictures of


Nostalgic Hardware Information

3DFX Identification site: http://www.falconfly.de/identify-3dfx.htm



I will start this out with my old Asus P5A Super Socket 7 Motherboard and AMD K6-2 350mhz

I purchased these items on 02/02/1999. I paid $199.99 for the motherboard and $149.99 for the K6-2

Put up your picture and I will include you in the club on the original post


Okay, I know these next items are not really what could be called "nostalgic" however they are getting rare and getting pretty old in computer technology. My Grandson and I are going to build this for him (he is 8). He is just so into computers and all the gear that goes along with it. The motherboard is an Asus A8N-SLI Premium s939 sporting a dual core Athlon 64 3800+ with a Thermaltake Blue Orb II and running 2gb's of crucial DDR400 ram.

The video cards are of course EVGA 8800GTX SuperClocked. One of the cards I picked up from the original owner with the original box and all the accessories, and the other is a matching card but no box.

When the grandson and I get this together, it should really be a pretty sweet system. Will be putting Windows XP on the system, since that is what the little guy is used to

Thanks to our very own member LiNKiN I now have an awesome ATI 9800 Pro AGP to add to the collection!!!!! Thanks a ton man.

Spoiler



Wow, just about forgot this crazy 5 1/2" Quantum BigFoot 1.2gb hard drive! LOL. God these things were crazy drives in their day! Heavy as hell.

Spoiler


Now here is a couple of items that I found yesterday that I just had to share LOLOL

Spoiler


And some DOS goodness:

Spoiler



And thanks to our own member ThE_MaD_ShOt I now have an awesome Abit NF7 with a mobile XP2400+ to add to the images!!!! Thanks a ton bro!!!

Spoiler



Okay not really what one would really consider "nostalgic" but more like "epic" So I figured I would include it for your enjoyment.

There was another thread about nostalig hardware long ago (thats where I posted my pics first), but it wasn't a club Bump the thread from time to time, some threads are just made at a wrong time, and drown amogst other "more important" ones.

Yea, I can't remember who it was, but there was someone on TPU that had a thread in the hardware section showing old hardware. I remember seeing your pictures on that thread, and remember that a lot of people commented on your pics

Bonus point if you can name every processor... HINT: One is a Pentium 4 with HS removed. The earliest processor in the collect in a Cyrix @ 66mhz.

Looks like the one on top without the HS is the p-4. The Cyrix I am to assume is the one that has the pins pointed up. Looks like there is an AMD Duron, several socket 462 chips, a p-3 several P-2 slot cpu's. Looks like several early pentiums, and some EDO ram sticks in the foreground.

Part II. Grabbed some more items from the closet.

SCSI RAID controller I pulled from an old Compaq server.


Dual 486 motherboard I found in a case on the side of the road a couple years ago.

Got the computer I was promised. I might have misunderstood something as there are no Voodoos in SLI Only one Try identifying it, its easy. The other card is a Diamond Viper 550, I even found a review of it! Consider them as a sneek preview on the comp, as I'm going to bed now

Moar old stuff!

You know what this is...


Yes you do!


I didn't know DFI was around since the PII days...


Top one is a SCSI controller, below that is a soundcard and a network card at last. The GPUs are missing here, they're the ones I posted above.

It's a mix of old and not-so-old hardware, but mostly obsolete.
(It's not very tidy I know)

My Pentium II Mendocino @ 333 Mhz isn't here because it's running at the office.
