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
 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   Spoiler

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 Spoiler
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. 4870x2
4870x2 back

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.
