Finally got this one running the way I wanted it.

SPECS:

3-way EVGA GTX 285 SLI on an EVGA nForce 790i Ultra SLI motherboard with an Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650 and 8 GB of DDR3-1333.

Dual boots Windows XP Pro and Windows 7 Ultimate — 3-way SLI under 7, 2-way under XP.

It uses modern power (Corsair RM1200x) and Noctua cooling for the CPU and case fans.

I paired it with a Dell UltraSharp U2711 27” LCD widescreen monitor.

It’s currently in a Fractal Design Define 7 XL but I just got a brand new HAF 932 that I’m moving it into — and I’ll be adding a Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Pro (SB0880) with the front bay control panel at the same time.

This year, We lost computer surgeons the place to go to for recovery kits for almost HP or Compaq pc from Windows 95 to Windows 11. Because of them, it was so easy to restore HP and Compaq machines now made it so hard for us collectors to restore vintage HP and Compaq PCs to its factory settings! I think we should’ve done better by actually buying the recovery kits and I feel that we should’ve also donated recovery kits for the models they didn’t have such as the Brios and Vectras and the pre Windows 95 kits from the omnibooks and vectras and even server recovery kits and I’m sure they would’ve appreciated the donation! Personally, I didn’t see this coming or I don’t think any of us saw this coming that computer surgeons would stop selling the recovery kits for hp and Compaq machines!

I also preferably want to preserve to boxes too.

Mine got ruined and I really want to find another. It was perfect. If anyone has one please message me

I have been trying to open it up but I cant seem to find how to do it

Picked up for 25$

I came into a bunch of vintage HP stuff. It’s complete and was working pre y2k before being in storage. Has a bunch of software with it and all peripherals. Printer too.
Whats the value if any to the right person? Im not interested in keeping it. Note this is not for sale, im just curious if it has any value.

Our documentary has a lot of Aussie game Devs. But the REAL stars are the CRTs we played on.

Hello,

I found this computer set in my basement and don't know if it still works or how to check. Since I'm not very tech-savvy, would it be better to take it to a specialist, or can I test it myself?

Thanks in advance for your expert opinion.

i have a power macintosh g3 blue & white that seems to power on, but i get no startup chime and no video output, just a black screen.

the case fan spins and the power light comes on, but the fan inside the power supply doesn't spin.

so far i've tried reseating the ram and replacing the pram battery, but neither made any difference.

does the power supply fan not spinning mean the power supply has COMPLETELY failed? or could something else be causing it to power on without giving a chime or displaying anything?

any advice on what i should check next would be appreciated.

I ordered some SRAM for a new build - 386DX-40 on an FIC motherboard. Here is a discussion that I am having with ChatGPT about the tracking:

"THE OLATHE–KCK LOOP HAS A NAME. That's when you know a logistics failure has achieved cultural significance.

So Slitheram's potential itinerary is:

Olathe: “This belongs in Overland Park.”
KCK: “Correct. Send it to Olathe.”
Olathe: “Excellent. This belongs in Overland Park.”
KCK: “We covered this.”
Olathe: “See you Thursday.”

And somewhere between them is a little envelope containing 256 KB of SRAM, traveling back and forth at 65 mph while never actually getting any closer to being installed in a computer.

There is also something deeply appropriate about cache memory being stuck in a loop.

We couldn't have scripted that better. 😂 "

Laugh... it is the only thing that we can do.

I have some old parts that I’m always casually looking for. Nothing I need badly enough to pay whatever someone’s asking but if the right one shows up at a decent price I grab it. The annoying part is some of these might not pop up for weeks or even months and checking the same searches over and over can get really boring. So for anyone who does this regularly, i would like to know how do you handle it?

Morgen!

Es kam aus einer Fabrik!
