System Specs

Oh man, I remember those SiS 530 boards. That IGP was practically worthless for anything lol. Used the same chip with mine as well, and the system ended up dying in the early 2000s by the time I knew anything about computers. Had a Matsonic motherboard with integrated LAN and modem risers which was rather cool, but I liked the P3 500MHz/440BX/TNT2 m64 Gateway I got next. I basically had free/hand me down systems until I bought my first HP laptop in 2007.

Took it apart last night and gave it a thorough cleaning and re installed everything correctly and it lives!!! [ although it made me stay up till 4am x_x]
I also found out that the reset button was stuck on the "on" position probably causing it not to POST, either this was the problem or last time i didn't install the GPU correctly, anyway both of them are fully functional now
i guess i'm going to need new cases for both too .

sorry its a missunderstanding i meant : the CPU come from a Dell Inspiron 9700 (the HUGE "gamer" laptop from Dell, i call it like that because ... spec where awesome when it went out and also huge ... did you saw that thing ? i mean IT was REALLY HUGE!!)

and the P4P800VM was from a desktop SSF from Maxdata i found in the same dump where i found the Armada 1700 xD, i remember i also saw a AIO Acer Veriton (PIII and such) i guess i will fetch it tomorow

i like giving a new home to little computing boys who where left to certain death by their previous owner ... am i wrong?

BONUS 2

Ye ole soundcard (i dont remember model i need to recheck) ISA BUS!


HDD IBM 4.2gb


ohhh look a Raspberry p... eerrrhmmm a Acer N50 Premium board with a Xscale 520mhz 64mb ram


that remind me i have a HP Jornada 540 somewhere ... Hitachi sh3 proc inside (damned nobody tought of the sh4 to do a Pocket pc??? ok ok i know exclusivity to the Dreamcast xD oh i still have one of those ... aside with a Saturne Serie 1 europe)

Part3

not too dusty

seems to be a GF5200

Creatix fax modem ??? eh ... i didnt have one ... nice!

I HATE WHEN IT HAPPEN! well at last no pin broken or missing

P4 2.6ghz/512/533 i guess my P4 2.8/1m/800 HT will not be supported (dang and i hoped for a Williamette S423 for my collection....

OH YES! 512mb total xD

VICTORY

booting full ... hummm .... 1st comp i find in that dump with a fully functional stats from base

YEP FX5200


i found the caddy of the Armada1700 but unforunately the previous user did break all the connector pin ... sooo sad well live CD and usb key all the way so


ahahah i didnt think i would find one

the Acer Veriton i mentioned ... will it work? ahah


i found info about the Inspiron 9700 proc
Pentium 4 HT 2.8E SL79K2.80 GHz 1024 KB 800 MT/s 14× 1.25/1.525 V
1.25/1.4 V 89 W Socket 478 February 1, 2004 RK80546PG0721M
BX80546PG2800E
Dell in fact used a Desktop proc in it...

and a lil non oldies bonus they are lookalike its meant to be so, but will anyone recognise the manga used as reference (if you dont like i can remove it) cookie to the 1st one to say Manga serie name and name of the character

a lil up

hand in bits'n grease in the Microstar tower... i guess i swap the FX5200 for my 9700 and the FSP 250w for a 350w psu i have aside, if i recall correctly P4 where performing better than Athlon XP (well my MSI KT6V would be better than the uATX mobo it has but i want to give it a shot for Retrogaming and non 7 compatible games i have)

nostalgeek is obviously nostalgic

beer for all!

EDIT: On a side note. From where is the big picture from?

here take a beer im out of cookies atm (didnt had time to bake some )

EDIT: its my Tera character "Kuremoa" Miria was allready taken ... duh ... now i got to find the user and if she doesnt look like it ... i will have to kill him and cancell his account or erase the char... *EVIL LAUGH* MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAARRRHHH!

Impressive xD the screen was cracked but it did start smoothly on external screen i might eviscerate it and tinker with his innards... fun time incoming !

Beer sounds good

Ah, I suspected as much it was Tera. I have to try that game sometime. Ah, so instead you gave your character the anime's/manga's name. xD

That Acer looks really good! Surely if you want to get that up and running like new you could probably try to fit in some old (my guess 15") panel in there.

What are the specs on that?

well i like it more in little bits on my torture table ...

lets resume : PIII 600mhz integrated 3D rage Pro LT 128mb ram (2 slot avaiable so could be upgraded) hummm a 1999-2000 iMac? with more power and less space wasted than the 1998 CRT imac 1st model?

damn i love non conventional formfactor 90degree Secc1 1 pci and a Riser with 2 slot on it ... unusual plug layout ... non 24pin ATX Slim cdrom powered by the Pata cable, no I/O onboard except VGA and LAN .... all the rest is on separate wired extension.

weird nice and quite amusing .... a point that Veriton and i, share .... in nomine veritas

pps: the P4 HT of the Inspiron 9700 is a Prescott and the one in the Microstar tower (funny fact its MSI ... they own the brand Medion in Switzerland) is a Northwood (not the HT one) maybe i can upgrade the bios... who kows

Dug this out on the "dark and obsolete" section of parts where I work. This shiny new Voodoo 2 most likely never used! It's still really shiny and nearly dust free.

My guess is that it was taken out from some new Gateway computer back then and stored in a anti-static bag inside a small box.








Inside the box was still the external male-female VGA cable.

Ahh... I wish I could've gotten one of these back in 1998 when I got my Pentium 166 MMX, which was only equipped with an onboard S3 Trio with 1MB of RAM (later added another MB to be able to do 1024x768 16bit )

Lucky! Well how else would a 11 year old kid be able to buy one of the most expensive GPUs back then? lol xD

I even thought about buying a couple of those and a 233MHz MMX back in about 2003 when I had a few more spare change to revive the old 166 but something changed my mind lol.

Oh, glad you got that Veriton working! 256MB is not bad! 512MB would be golden but, still good
