Post Pics of Old School Hardware "hard to find on the net"

Okay, upon DaMultas request, here are the pics of my wall deco:

Not all of them are old boards, also some "newer" stuff like a Gigabyte mobo and a X600 are sticked up there.

This is an EDO ram for older computers and WTF are yuo really having a Britney Spears pictue sticked there? lol :roll:
 
I wish I saw this before sending stuff to the recycler. :(

I had an AMI Enterprise 2 motherboard (back when AMI was in the motherboard business), Intel 486DX, Adaptec SCSI-2 (I think) controller, SCSI 4xCD-ROM drive, and 1.5 GB (it was HUGE) Seagate SCSI HDD that took up 2 5.25" bays. The motherboard was about the size of an ATX Extended today. Oh, and of course, it had an AT power supply.
 
My 1st HDD, well kinda it was my brothers 1st ha. I just wish i kept the WD 800MB HDD i had and a few other things although i do have a few items around and will post them when i find them unless they got lost when we moved a few years ago.

If some one wants more pics of it just ask lol.

My whole computer is vintage...should I post pic of it ? lol Just take a look in my specs ;)
 
IMHO, it is not yet vintage Eric. I think that many people still work with machines like that.

This was actually my first graphics card ever. It was placed in the second hand pc I had in my later secondary school years (~ 2003 through 2006). It lacked 3D acceleration, and it is quite a big card (getting near my HD 4850 in PCB size).

i want to buy a 387 math co-processor for the PC i've posted pics of, but i am not sure what it should be. A specific one to correspond with the 40mhz AMD cpu, or any 387 could do. Can anyone give me some advice

Thats not Britney Spears, thats some model off a Skateboard Clothing catalog. Until now I never thought about Britney when looking at her, thank you very much for ruining this picture for me. :laugh:
 
Here is a Pic of the 40mb Seagate ATA drive that was originally in the 386PC. Unfortunately it was not always starting. More like 2 out of 20 times, so i no longer use it. I atached it to a PC just to chech the size - 41mb... :)

I also have a 433mhz Celeron Socket 370, with 128 ram, which i've tried to install windows 7 DNA project release on, but windows boot manager on the installation CD poped up an error 0xc0000017 due to insufficient memory :( I don't know what will happen with 256ram, but i think the bare minimum for the setup to boot is 512, since i've watched a video on youtube that showed P1 90mhz, 512mb ram, booting Windows 7

Did not realize that I still have this baby:D

K7_950.jpg
 
It is not that old, as far as i can read the label it says K7 950MHZ. What slot is that ? I've heard there was AMD on a slot, but i've never seen one!

Slot A, CPU was released in 2000 so you're correct that it is not that old (but rare);)
 
@Chevalr1c ... I still have this Hyundai 64megs ram at home and planted it in a computer. Still runing a socket 370 :P
 
Hyundai is nice stuff. ^-^ Now the name Hynix is being used, and that's a "famous" brand AFAIK.
 
Yeah Hynix was the name of their chips and they still used Hyundai as brand name back then because they produced chips for them only. Now they sell for lot of people I think.
