Puck Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 I'm a huge component hoarder. Just in my junk drawer near my computer I found a Pentium 1 MMX, Two unknown P1's (listed 92-93 on both), a 133mhz IBM 6x86, a 486DX2 66mhz, Two 8mb sticks of EDO RAM, tons of various other DDR1/SDRAM sticks, a Netgear wireless b laptop card, a PCI modem (not PCI-E), and a couple of pieces of a passive P1 heatsink that I cut up in 2005 to use as ramsinks on a hardmodded 9800 Pro AIW. Also a bunch of mobo wires like LED lights and switches. Pic so you know I'm not just making this up No clue why I have all that ancient junk lying around lol. That is just the just drawer at my desk too, I have TONS more in boxes. Off the top of my head I've got some graphics cards - TNT2, 9800PRo, 9800 Pro AIW, X1900XT, X1900 Crossfire Master, and a 4870X2, probably 15 HDs in sizes from a few MB to 160GB, bunch more CPUs like AMD Applebred Duron 1800, Athlon Winchester 3500+, Athlon Barton XP2500, AMD Venus Opteron 144, stack of Motherboards in sockets 370, 478, 939, A, multiple CDROMs, floppy drives, and Burners, 15-pin Serial Game port, typewriter with LCD editor display (which is pretty damn coo,l from right before computers really became mainstream, can type out on LCD then hit a button for typewriter to quickly type it all up), handful of monitors from 15-20", box of like 10 OEM Windows 95 install discs...probably a ton more I'm forgetting. Heck, now I want to build a retro rig for some Arcade emulators and DOS gaming. Wonder if I still have my Gravis Gamepad and Joystick?

Black64 Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 My Seagate 500GB from my first custom PC, it was a dell with a 5770. It's the only part that I still have from upgrading. You should be ashamed of yourself Why? It's the only part of that dell that still works! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IVIYTH0S Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 The oldest hardware I have is now my current(signature) rig since my other one bit the dust,glad I held on to it... Man I haven't seen you on in a while, props on the 4890! I forgot about that card, and I had owned one for a little too! I also used to sport the P5W DH Deluxe board back when I used to run an E6600!! Seeing your rig brings back so many fond memories of my Core 2 Duo era. Thank you for that 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IVIYTH0S Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 I have a 4.3gb Quantum Fireball in my parents storage unit. Still has some old crap on it I think, most likely vintage porn circa 2000/2001 lol That's the best kind of porn, best music scores! I think I may actually have a Fireball in my basement too!

RayMark Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 I have boxs & shelves with old stuff. A TriGem 6.4 ide, Fujitsu 8.5 ide being the oldest ide drives. Lots of SCSI drives. Complete Dell Poweredge 2300's. Pounds of sdram. Slot 1 CPU's. Box's of old heatsinks. Box of 1mb to 3mb video cards. Plus more all the way up to socket 478 stuff considered junk. Socket AM2 & Socket 775 stuff still sells. Time for a trip to the scrapyard. I always thought to myself that some things would become a rare collectors item. But the only value now is its weight. Buying used PC's from school systems when they upgrade by the pallet load usually nets still viable Socket 775 stuff for the lesser advantaged people, and will get them up & running surfing the internet with YouTube capability. Many are donated to individuals with disabilitys such a Autism also. I've also learned alot along the way... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puck Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 Certain old CPUs have ~$20 worth of gold content, most notably 6x86 Cyrics and IBMs like the one I posted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onion Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 I checked my garage and I'm trying to get some of my old DX2/DX4 rigs going but can't find a working CPU. A couple of them have bent pins because I took out the CPUs and never put them back in. Anyone have a few DX2/DX4 processors I could buy?
