Chaintech makes pretty good boards.Sadly they don't make boards anymore,and their site is dead
Before this Chaintech board,I went through 5 Socket 478 boards which didn't work right,or lacked AGP.I need AGP since I use this retro PC on my TV (a Magnum CRT TV,I guess it's retro too)to play PSX games,SNES games and other retro systems.Right now it runs XP SP3 and I have installed pSX 1.13 and Abe's Oddysee.Next to get are SNES,Megadrive 1 and 2,Genesis, and NES.
I noticed pSX 1.13 runs really nice on a TV,just need to see if ATI Tray Tools can make my card use PAL60,as normal PAL is slow for pSX,and NTSC gives a B/W image.

Well,my cellphone has a camera that was even worse (2 megapixels) than the tablet,and it uses IR to transfer pics,which I can't use as I don't have any system that uses IR.Weirdly,the tablet makes videos in the best quality possible.Sadly I lost the USB cable to it.
On the other side,here's the wallpaper I use on the Chaintech rig.
Fits just nice on the TV screen I use!

Edit:Just installed the PC in my bedroom.I need to find a power cord though.

Is it wrong to want to play nostalgic games on the hardware they were designed to run on?
ahahah Random Murderer i like you! (wait is it not the second time i write that?) in a nostal'bro way.

fun things: i noticed a TY-147 140mm Thermalright fan fit right into the 5.25 bay of the rack ... since it has a 120mmx140mm dimension and the best : no need to fix it, it's so tight that he hold in place perfectly
IMG_20140117_224549.jpg IMG_20140117_224725.jpg IMG_20140117_224747.jpg
bonus pics the cover and a pics thru a hole of the cover ... i love my SIII :D

since the In Win was a bit overkill i think i put the CM GX lite 600w for the moment, also back to standard heatsink, the Kama is really too big even for a 4u rack :D waiting on the 2 250 and the 2nd copper server heatsink

Changed the CPU on my Chaintech system.Back when I used the 1.7 Celeron I experienced a whole lot of freezes and system was running like a snail.Installed a Celeron D 2.66GHz and now I don't have any freezes,and Windows runs perfectly.

OK, got XP on it and the machine seems capable of using it as is.
Seemed to take forever to do the install but now it's done - Just a few more details to sort such as digging out a mouse that will work with it. :laugh:

also you mean the time where even a PGA940 with DDR1, due to the Hypertransport and integrated memory controller, was on par with the whole new LGA771 with DDR2 and woodcrest Xeon when using less than 6gb ram and unbuffered stick

in addition of the 250 i might be able to get 2 275 and 8x1gb ECC more but i have to wait on answers ... about shipping :D not UK this time .... Australia and Japan ...

i .. i .... i .... i ..... *faint*

also you mean the time where even a PGA940 with DDR1, due to the Hypertransport and integrated memory controller, was on par with the whole new LGA771 with DDR2 and woodcrest Xeon when using less than 6gb ram and unbuffered stick

in addition of the 250 i might be able to get 2 275 and 8x1gb ECC more but i have to wait on answers ... about shipping :D not UK this time .... Australia and Japan ...

so you can use today hardware with older one
PLX chip ... i know you can bridge a pciE to a AGP so i came up with the idea that nearly every bus can be bridged ... tho it's quite expensive even on ebay ... specialy the PCI-X to X16


1.93$ atm ... got it ... oh well that might do it till i am back in business for a PLX PCI-X to X16, PCI XFX FX5200 128mb still better than a RageXL 8mb :D

Got a mouse that works with the Premio today from work and the only real detail left is to either find my PCI slot USB add-on card or get another one. Although I could load the needed programs and transfer screenies as is, would probrably take all day to do it that way.
Otherwise it's ready to go.

Where can we buy these? Do they also make it to put agp on newer boards?
EBAY : expensive and i did not see PciE to AGP (no real purpose i assume since its easier to find a cheap PciE gpu than a AGP and even the cheapest would be on par with a high end AGP card or slightly above... unlike PciE on PCI/PCI-X)

update: received the ECC ram and the Xeon. while the ram doesn't fit for 128bit dual channel in 64bit single channel they pass fine but i get 3072mb at the post instead of 4096 i think one stick is defective i need to identify it

that's a relief those are 32bit crap pile of silicon from Intel : i don't need to find a board for them ahah :roll: :D still they make a good addition to my cpu collection.

and since it's my free day and i am bored let's do a recap:

i guess i install WinXP on the server for the moment to test the hardware.

Spotted it in one of your pics and thought I'd ask:
Are you as bummed as I am that the Hellgate servers were taken down and there are no private servers?
