She lives*evil Lough*. So, IPS screen and new shell for the new year. UMD drive seems to be non functional. Maybe I can revitalize that as well.

Old but my new main compute to go. ThinkPad X1 Carbon with 8GB i5 3427U and very little wear.

I got lucky, finding a Thermaltake Volcano 7+. Know them from back in the days, and getting good/potent socket 462 coolers these days is so freaking hard. It is not the best one for the socket, but I will not move that system a lot.

Man.. #Fatekeeper is looking good. Hope for that project.

Man.. getting to play with some hardware after a long time, and while installing Win98 the ide drive dies. And the "I might as well" me already bought a 16gig Disk On Module. Anyways, now to F1.

Did just watch Tron Legacy (to test my new beamer) and don't understand the hate the movie gets online. It is nice,no masterpiece but really nice with some impressive framing.

Also, my last three Mainboards are ECS ones.. I see a disturbing trend I don't want to admit 😅

The 3000+ came in. She starts, but the fan is running slow and the system shuts down to prevent damage. No problem with that except that it is not easy anymore to find potent socket 462 coolers. Maybe I will adapt some fan to that cooler tomorrow. Just had to test that the CPU is booting.

So, the fastest 4 core that can run on my ecs Black mainboard is a Phenom II X4 964. Guess what is surprisingly cheap at the moment 😅

Well, The K7S7AG is here. Seems like old new stock. Max CPU is a Athlon XP3000+ with 333fsb (400 is out os spec but kinda supported) so I have some on eBay watch. This might become a Win98, Win XP dual boot. I have a voodoo 2 without a permanent home at the moment, but this seems to be a good place

Ok.. I just bought a ECS K7S7AG with onboard Xabre 200. Someone has to take eBay away from me 😅🙈 but it was unused and with box and all accessories. Strange that the pictures on the retro web show a slightly different layout. Will check that when it is here.

Okay, hear me out. I don't hate the RX6400. Was it peak "not reading the room" for AMD? Yes.. but this is imo the definition for a Display Adapter. And prices are sliding into the right range. This asus has a way to big cooler. Only two display outs is wild tho.

Haven had an am2+ board in some time. It was more of an impulse tho. With box, manual and io shield.

Oh man.. she is here, and it seems like she did not have a tough life. I don't even know how to mangle that slot without other damage on the PCB. But testing is on the weekend.
