I have NEC PC from 1999 with Intel Pentium III 550MHz, 256MB SDram, Voodoo 3 2000 (integrated) and Fujitsu 6.4GB HDD.
Really good PC, with CRT monitor connected it reminds me my childhood in 90's.

bring on the pics! luckier than me my 1st pc was a 286 comodor ... oh wait ... nevermind

aside: i found this at my fav etailer for less than 20$ new boxed and under warranty
http://www.powercolor.com/es/products_features.asp?id=385

i guess it will fit the C2D DC7700P well :roll:

i can even convert that crap pack into a decent HTPC for DiVx/H264./dvd playback (maybe blueray not 3d ofc)

my only concern is the power requirement

400w psu recommended but a DC7700 has a 240w with a proprietary form factor and connector (smaller 20/24 pin and 6 pin EPS12V instead of the standard 4/8pin)

IT LIVVVEESSS
i shorted the clr cmos jumper and cut power to it and actually forgot it for a couple of days

tried booting it a while ago and it started -but back to square 1

Though with that much RAM if i don't find atleast 1GB i might install XP on it ( or maybe i should have done that from beginning

)

oh well my C2D rig (the DC7700) run win xp pro with 4gb ram ... nufufuu (ok 3.50gb

) i still have a license for 7 Pro but i keep it for the X4 9600B once i will recieve my EVGA 580 SSC and re put the 460 HAWK in it ... or ... naahhh too much options ... i have 1 license XP Home 2 licenses XP Pro (thanks my job to send Pc's to the trash without recovering the licenses ... and the DC7700 was fully functional if we except the onboard graphic .. ) 2 licenses Win 7 Pro 1 license Win server 2003 4 CPU 5 CLT (luckily i found back all my disk for XP and i have a iso for WS2003)

Doc41 · Mar 20, 2014

Well i was testing it so windows is not activated yet :rolleyes:

, guess i will install xp for it after I've found a proper HDD and got it placed in a case......
( its just sitting on cardboard now on top of an xbox- in turn which is also sitting on a cardboard box :roll:

)

ohh i forgot my other old P4 rigs, maybe i'll scavenge some ram from them

Keullo-e · Mar 20, 2014

I have 4 P4 cpus right now, 3 to 478 and 1 LGA775, I guess I have to test the max OC of the LGA775 version

I'm not sure what makes me nostalgia the hardest in that pic: the monitor, running the PC that way, or the original UT splash screen(I still play UT99, lol). BTW, if you ever feel like getting owned in some CTF, shoot me a PM. We'll load up Facing Worlds and cause some carnage

I know what you feel. Second machine what I have is my old PC - legendary Athlon 64 3000+ Venice on s754, 1.5GB DDR, Sapphire X800 XL 256MB DDR3, WD 250GB and Fortron PNF 300W. Runs XP and Firefox 3.6 (with adblock, without flash) very well.
This is my most precious machine (after first with Phenom of course ) because this is souvenir from my dad, he bought it 2 months before his death. Whatever, I love old hardware. In wardrobe I have Amiga 600 in oryginal case

well look at my system specs i updated the list according to the nostalgia glory

just realized about the dad part ... indeed that's a thing to hold as a souvenir ... nostalgic hardware hold more importance when they have a history like that... cheers

The mosfet- cooler for the HD3850.

I didn't pay for it it was a kind of a "prototype".

Some DDR500/ 550 RAM. For overclocking you need fast RAM. I prefer & recommend the red ones on the left. Adata Vitesta DDR500, best DDR1- RAM I ever had my hands on.
