THE_STIG's PC collection

Post by THE_STIG »

I have quite a few PC's lying around so I thought I should post pics of them here:

Here are the first two, both AMD systems:

Athlon XP 2500+ (1.8Ghz sktA)
1Gb DDR400
Gigabyte GA-7VT600-L mobo
Nvidia 6200(256Mb DDR2)
80Gb Seagate barracuda HDD

Image

Image
Just ignore the Sahara badge as this is not the original case, got this one from a friend and decided to use it as it had better airflow.

Seperon 2800+ (1.6ghz skt754)
1Gb DDR 400
ECS 761GX-M754(3.0) mobo
Nvidia 9400GT (512Mb DDR2)
80Gb Seagate barracuda HDD

Awesome cable management there. Nice and clean look. I really like.
Even for old machines like those. Not a speck of dust.

Sweet. I have two 486's here (I think), though they don't look very good any more. They have been plundered for screws, jumpers, etc.

Edit: Oh, one of them is a Celeron 400MHz.

Why do you sand your cables? I can't see how that's a good idea. :? I trust you don't do it while the machine is switched on?

Stiggy... next time I go to my dad's place I will ask him if I can get that that 8086 and 486 DX 66 in his cupboard. Then you have two more for your collection. If I am lucky he might still have a 386 that I built up stacked away in the garage.

This is my old P4 which I got in 2006.....and then replaced(in 2009) with my current core 2 rig.

Pentium 4 511(2.8Ghz, 533Mhz fsb, 1Mb cache, socket 775)
2Gb DDR2 667(running at 533 as that is all the mobo will do)
Gigabyte GA-8VM800pmd-775 mobo
Nvidia 6800XT(256Mb DDR2)
80Gb Western Digital HDD(the original was an 80Gb Seagate which is in the Athlon 2500+ now, and the 250Gb that was in it is in my current PC as a backup drive)
Image

Image

This PC was extremely reliable and gave no hassles, but I still cant understand why they sold me a PC in 2006 with an AGP slot :(

:lol: They would do that, but it was Computer connection at comaro crossings.....I dont think they exist anymore though :lol:

I think you might recognise the motherboard in this next PC SB.

AMD K6-2 500Mhz
256Mb PC100 SDRAM(originally had 196Mb)
Gigabyte GA-5AA mobo(which I had to repair as 3 capacitors were blown)
ATI Rage 128 pro (32Mb, also know as a rage fury or something)
Creative sound Blaster 16(it originally had some or other fancy looking Zoltrix with gold plated ports)
HP 10/100 Ethernet card
20Gb Seagate model U6(when I first got it, it had a 4.3Gb western digital caviar)
Image
Image

That Mecer case is not the original one, I sort of threw the original one away after the mobo died but kept all the internal parts(the mecer one was found in a junk pile btw). This was my second PC which replaced my 200Mhz Pentium MMX but it died in 2005(it works now though) so I went without a PC until July 2006........but this K6 was rubbish mostly because of the mobo

Not mostly but completely because of the mobo. My brother also went 6 months without a PC when a capacitor on the board blew.

Seeing this picture it is hard to imagine how I could ever have lived with screwing everything in in those days. Man I love just popping something in an clicking it into place.

Actually at the time I did not really follow PC tech very closely, I knew more or less what was going on and that PCI-E was new and AGP was old. But up till then I had that ancient K6-2 and reading a PC mag was just plain depressing. Also my dad bought it so I did not have much choice in the matter......I would much rather have had an Athlon 64 as it was better for gaming and it probably would have had a PCI-E slot

//And this is also part of the reason why I will never buy a pre-built PC :wink:

So a cap also died on his as well, what a coincidence :lol: if you look closely you will be able to see which caps I replaced. I cant imagine how we lived with all those stupid add on brackets that contained all the I/O stuff and I agree that all those screws are rather painful, thankfully thinks have changed :)

3com 10/100 network card
20Gb Maxtor fireball

Pentium 4 2.66ghz(skt 478)
Abit SG-71 mobo
1Gb DDR 333
40Gb Seagate barracuda
only on-board gfx as I don't have another AGP card for it :(

And an ancient Creative dvd drive, from 1998 apparently

That is the only one. I am currently looking for a better one that supports 800mhz fsb and HT as the 2.66ghz p4 is actually a 2.8ghz p4 hT but 2,66 is the best I can do on that board :(

Carbonate has some skt478 boards but last time I checked none suited my needs
