For that price you might be more interested if they are new

[CNCBCN]

can …. but sylver might want to haggle and the alternate guys :nono::nono:

[Sylver]

Many thanks to both of you :sisi: Tito, good offer, I appreciate it, the bad thing is that I only have two sockets, the inconveniences of the castaña board are... xD
The ones proposed by sir krampak are quite good, although the truly favorable thing would be to find a 2Gb DDR2 module to accompany one of the two that I have that is of the same size.

I am keeping an eye on the forums for buying and selling, and other places, to see if... and I will take advantage, if any of you have something like that or find out about something, I will be extremely grateful if you contact me by private message or however you can

PD: Neptunno I also have a voodoo, exactly the same as CoUgSt, the 3dfx Voodoo3 3000

We should urgently open a thread with all those relics, since they are just collecting dust and I see that we are all very nostalgic, we will have to take advantage of them for a final performance, right??

Best regards!

@Yorus:

Don't bug me that I even have some open branches in H2M looking for a good mATX socket 462 motherboard, because a few months ago I got homesick for the era when I enjoyed PC the most, with my Duron 800 first and the Athlon XP 1800+ later. I've even located on Ebay some motherboard identical to some of the ones I've had :D.

By the way, I'll let you know that I have a book of my equipment pending to post here.

Yorus, I have this motherboard "863G", which is quite old but well. I got it at work with the Sempron K7 that until yesterday I didn't even know what micro it was, because for months I had the "set" parked.

Initially I want to use the Abit AN7 and the Sempron (which is like a k7 2000+), but the motherboard gave me some problems.
If I manage to get everything OK, you can keep it, but you have to give me a good time so I can tinker with what I have, because this is complicated.

Moreover, if I find a similar motherboard in the "junkyard of my work" I'll tell you, ok?

That said, Yorus, you won't get more equipment in the signature

Well yes, today talking to my buddy from work, I told him about my initial adventures in this tinkering with PCs and I got very nostalgic.
Moreover, I think that having a "green" K7, like my first micro that I bought (it cost me €155 +/-), made me super nostalgic.
I remember that with it, and the 6600GT I played Doom 3 and had a great time!!!

Best regards!!

That motherboard looks good, at least for what I'm looking for even though it's SiS, the truth is that it would be a good deal. Take your time, it's something that I'm not in a hurry for, it's more of a whim.

As for the equipment in my signature I've been enjoying the HTPC for a short time and I'm already thinking about how to get rid of it and use the main one as an HTPC too, because the computer room is right behind the wall where I have the HTPC and the TV, and if I fix it well I could pass an HDMI and a USB extender for the wireless keyboard from the other room and without works.

The secondary PC is the one at my parents' house, so that one will stay there, the good thing is that physically that is the largest and it's microATX, the HTPC is also microATX "video style" and the main one and the one for downloads are ITX.

And since we've been chatting for a while without photos here I put one from when I was assembling my HTPC. Right now it has an Enermax power supply that I bought at H2M and the Scythe Shuriken B that I had in the main one when I assembled the E5300.

[_Neptunno_]

The Silverstone Milo ML03B case is really cool, I already looked it up online when I saw your signature :risitas:
Why are you getting rid of the HTPC? Honestly, the whole setup you've put together is really nice.

Well, I'll tell you something about the motherboard, for now I'm busy with my hands full of dust from removing Pentium II-III motherboards, and some Pentium MMX at work. My God, the amount of junk we have and that's after they threw out a lot almost two months ago.

Anyway, I keep on dismantling PCs

Regards!!

[Yorus]

No, it works very well, but I see myself piling up computers and I get cozy

On top of that, I received an MP in H2M that a forum member has available exactly the board that interested me the most, mainly because I had it and because it has two SATA ports (SATA1, of course). It's an MSI KM4M-V. I have no solution anymore, I will end up assembling it and who knows if I will perform a MOD, which is a thorn that I have stuck there.

[_Neptunno_]

@Yorus:

No, si funciona muy bien, pero es que me veo amontonando ordenadores y me acojono

Vaya, menos mal que no soy el único con ese síntoma, jejejeje.
De todos modos hay gente que al contrario que nosotros, vende todo todo, pero a mi es que algunas cosas me da pena venderlas y mas para sacarte 4 duros (por decirlo de una forma).

QUOTE=Yorus;522456]
Encima me han mandado un MP en H2M de que un forero tiene disponible precisamente la placa que mas me interesaba, mas que nada porque la tuve y por que tiene dos puertos SATA (SATA1, claro). Es una MSI KM4M-V. Ya no tengo solución, lo acabaré montando y quien sabe si realizando un MOD, que es una espinita que tengo ahí clavada.

¿Que micro tienes para poner? ¿El Duron 800?, yo creo que optare por el Sempron 2300+(que veo que mas que un K7 2000+ es un 1800+), en lugar del Duron 700 ya que se parece mas al primer AMD que tuve.

¿Que gráfica vas a poner?

Sobre lo del Mod, yo alguna vez lo pensé, pero no soy nada manitas, tengo poco tiempo y hay que gastarse algo mas de dinero que comprar una cajita "chula" :risitas:

Saludos!

[Yorus]

Well, my intention was to put something similar to what I had, since I have managed to get an identical motherboard, but I would opt for an Athlon XP 1800+ Thoroughbred, and if not, then I would go for something higher. As for the graphics card, more of the same, I had an MSI GF4 Ti 4200 and a Hercules Radeon 8500LE, which would be the candidates, and if I don't find them, I would look within Nvidia for a suitable option or I could opt for a modern Radeon (HD3000 or 4000 series, which are available in AGP) that are sure to be much more efficient.

Little by little.

I think we are going to have to open a branch about our "vintage" projects, hehe.

Reading you, I realized that the micro you mentioned (Athlon XP 1800+) is the one that is still giving a fight in the PC at work and is having marathon sessions of Autocad 2D, Office, Firefox daily, in addition to withstanding kilos of accumulated dust (every time I open it, I am amazed that it still resists, sometimes you can't even distinguish the circuits of the motherboard :chuckles:)... how great those micros are!!! they don't make micros like that anymore :nono:

Best regards

[Sylver]

I also have an XP 1800+ lying around, it was the main PC for a while due to inactivity of what is now my firm's PC2, but one bad day a couple of capacitors on the motherboard blew and it was left by the wayside… :nono:
A shame, although the micro is still intact, if I could get a motherboard like that I could revive it

+1 to the "vintage" projects branch, I've been saying that for several days

Best regards!

[Tecnho]

Let's see if you upload the photos of the new damn gadgets XD

Here's my new monitor and the swarm of cables that I will organize someday :facepalm::troll:

[incrediboy]

is that a u2711? let's see how long it takes you to put another graphic in it, I already know what happens with those screens... :troll:

[Tecnho]

If you have read other threads you will see that it is already on the way, everything is thought out before buying XD

[Yorus]

Without a monitor to go with it, it seemed pretty normal to me, but when I said "Incredi" the model I searched for... oh my god!

http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&cs=04&l=en&s=bsd&sku=224-8284&redirect=1

With that resolution, I now understand why they added another graphic.

This week I might post pictures of the little guy, which is just a review of the one I've always had. If I feel like it, I'll take some pictures of the Athlon XP even though it's parked until I finish other things. Here's a preview of the laptop with its setup:

[Obione]

It's the monitor I wanted + a 670, but you have to keep your feet on the ground (and this is coming from someone who has a pair of Beyer Dynamic MMX-300s on the way xD).

[Tecnho]

@Yorus You're missing USB ports, you have it collapsed XD
@Obione some beyer XD must have broken your pocket, you'll put some pictures and tell me how they sound, I want to put either audio monitors for music and something decent 5.1 for games, I'll look at thomann to see what's there.

[Obione]

The Alesis M1 Active MK2 are very good, with 4 bucks that you leave in cables you have free shipping, or for 40 bucks more the Fostex PM-1 MKII that are a little better. I got mine to connect the play as well and when I connected it, the PC made noises xD

Now I have an S&M Pro Audio M-Patch 2 controller that I wanted to have an output for headphones (normal amp but at least an amp for headphones) and gain/mute of both signals, which also has a DI that saves you from noise but with the new headphones (the HD-25 destroy the ears after a while) and the PS3 now in the living room I won't need it :ffu:

Sorry for the offtopic.

[Tecnho]

Let's see if my colleague stops by my house for my MOTU since I already checked out Obione, and for gaming let's see what I can find there, I mean some hd25 for gaming XDD

[Yorus]

@Tecnho:

@Yorus Te faltan puertos USB lo tienes colapsado XD

Ya te digo, y el portátil solo bien con dos. Tengo un pequeño concentrador que es el cable blanco, pero necesito uno con alimentación, que si no de vez en cuando se me piran el teclado y el ratón :ugly:

Edito para añadir las fotos de mini-server:

Tiene la placa de siempre, la mini-itx con un VIA C7 a 1ghz, y el disco duro es IDE que ya lo tenía de 250gb. Aún lo tengo sin sistema, ya que me gustaría ponerle Linux pero de momento no he conseguido instalar ni Debian ni Ubuntu 12.04 server, aunque no tengo problemas para instalar XP.
