i seem to recall that at least some of the slot-1 motherboards required you to plug in an add-on voltage regulator board if you wanted to run a second CPU. also uhhh obviously you should be going slot 2 and dropping in some sw8 xeons

Welp I'm watching an auction for a pair of 933mhz P3s with some rambus as well. the wait is killing me though. there's a different seller with a stock of the 1ghz/133fsb P3s at a decent price so I could just buy two. I'm gonna guess those are better anyway? havin a hard time dropping the hammer on this one

ebay is such a loving scam these days i mean, it always WAS, but now its real bad. you have all these two bit con men trying to make a few ends by inflating prices and motherfuckers dumb enough to furiously slap at the "bid" button. it just plain sucks. sure you can find something reasonable but you gotta hunt like a mofo for it

it is incredibly simple to own balls on ebay 1: Does the thing exist on amazon prime? is it at an ok price? loving buy it there you idiot 2: ok ebay. can you spend some time losing auctions before you get what you want? if not, go up to step 1. 3: ignore every single "buy it now". 4: you never bid before the last five (ideally two) seconds of an auction. snyping is literal victoryville. use completed auctions and set hard price ceilings. only bid that. never more. dont get emotional. 5: use a snypebot or tool to accomplish this while remaining objective. 6: if somebody sells a broken thing as "used", it has to work 100%. you can gently caress a seller + get your poo poo for free if its low value, or get a full refund if it's high, if they arent smart enough to mark its condition as "for parts or repair". 7: if you get a thing and dont want to pay for it, open an "item not as described" dispute. Ebay will ask you to provide the tracking number and ship it back to the seller. Put a brick in the box and send it back. once they have signed for the package they have literally no recourse and can't even give you negative feedback. the last two are suggested as a joke, but they are also real.

as someone who has dropped a humiliating amount of money on amiga/atari/apple gear it's hilarious and a bit sad that pc gear of the same era is worth anything at all now, it sure wasn't 10 or even 5 years ago there's literally 15 times more of it out there than said commodore etc stuff too, so it's not like it's even remotely rare. i guess some pc parts are high demand/rare, like the gravis ultrasound, but there's no reason why putting together an average AT system with average parts shouldn't still cost peanuts Slow-Scan Shep fucked around with this message at 10:08 on Aug 5, 2016 |

dont get anything more modern than one of those chieftec/antec things that were common as dirt in the early 2000s. you know the ones alienware used originally, only get a big-honkin beige fulltower version (CHIEFTEC DA-01W?) fill up all the drive bays. 2 optical drives, a fan controller, one of those clunky as hell things that gave you usb ports in the front by dragging cables all the way through and out the back of the case and plugging them into the motherboard, couple hard drive trays (so u can swap hard drives like a l33t hax0r, one has win2k another has win98 and another lunix, preferably a dead distro like mandrake). ooh, and a tape drive, gotta back up all those critical game save files and then mod the living poo poo out of it, old-school style. self-cut acrylic window, blowhole for fans, dryer-hose fan ducts, THE WORKS

mine is in a giant full size antec case that has a front that rolls down slowly when you press a button on the top to reveal the cd drivers which for some reason it could hold like 8.

atomicthumbs posted:i pull expansion cards people can use out of the bin and buy them by weight before they get ground up and sell them to people with old computers I grew up garbage-picking this kind of stuff, and can still get it for free/next to nothing thanks to recycling connections. I resent the upward trend in prices because - from my experience - they aren't worth remotely that much. I grab things purely for personal use, but if I were inclined to sell them I certainly wouldn't charge two hundred united states dollars for a seventeen-year-old motherboard.
