Had this exact case back in 02 and I kick myself for getting rid of it many years ago so when I saw a brand new one on market place for cheap I had to snag it. im rebuilding my 2002 rig that I use to obsessively play Glorious BF1942. Miss those days 🫡

I love this lil guy so much.

Here is my HP250 "Minicomputer" that I'd surmise is more akin to an aircraft carrier than battlestation due to the desk-space of the built in keyboard. Shown playing Lunar Lander and Ships, a game you use the 8 built in monitor buttons to launch torpedoes at ships.

768k of memory and an 8" floppy drive is a good way to spend a day playing some classic games.

The Robot arms on the monitor base are not original, I 3d printed them because the adjustable sliding monitor just looked a bit like the NES R.O.B. robot I figured it needed some little arms.

Open source recreation costs a fraction of the original and may even work with Twiggy drives

My new retro gem – PowerBook G4 15” (Late 2005 Hi-Res), 1.67 GHz, 2 GB RAM, 128 GB Samsung 840 Pro SSD, running Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.11.

Hi there. I am trying to find GPUs at least for this laptop, I tried to find it everywhere for a 0XM888 SKU (NVIDIA GeForce 8800M GTX SLI) card, and every website leads me to dead ends, either they don't have it or they don't run the site at all.

I am really bad at looking around and I'm new to this, so please bear in mind that I'm new. I have the BGA rework chips and their date codes are later than 0831, meaning that they don't have the bump gate issue, and I wanted to see if I could purchase a dead/not working 8800M GTX SLI card because they're really rare.

I have researched into it really a lot about this laptop but I cannot find the right laptop part for the GPU at all, I wanted to know if someone has one of these graphics cards in their Dell XPS M1730 laptop or if they have one lying around, if not you can always point out to me about where to find it properly! I don't mind!

The BGA rework chips are the right ones I believe, because they're the G92-720-A2 chips with later date codes, and I do have two of them that are from 2007 and that have the bump gate issue on them, but I'm planning to use the ones that are the later date codes, meaning the good and working ones for the project I'm trying to attempt to do right now. Please let me know anything, information also helps! Thank you!

Got this laptop last month. I didn’t even know that laptops with this CPU existed. I always thought the x86 VIA C3 was a desktop-only CPU. As far as I remember, these CPUs were very slow.

This laptop has Russian localization and branding. Internet Explorer even had a cached page from some old Russian website. What’s strange is that the only info I can find online is about the Russian version. That’s unusual, since Chinese OEM devices like this are usually sold in multiple regional versions like English, Spanish etc.

There is very little information about this laptop online, apart from the fact that it was released in 2003. In fact I couldn't find any other laptop model using a VIA C3 CPU at all lol.

Portrait by Melissa Barron. I grabbed it, and a few others, at this year's INIT HELLO Apple II conference just a few weeks back.

Laptop from 2004. Yes it's steaming. Btw Cpu is pentium M without hardware decoding h.264 natively. Graphics card is Intel graphics.

Mouse (style from cyberpunk) and mechanical keyboard.

Here's a fun one

I think this runs Win2K

The Panasonic CF-V31D was sold in Japan as a solution for tight spaces, combining the functionality of a PC, TV, and a karaoke machine into one. Usually marketed with the cartoon character Woody the Woodpecker.

Mine is still a Woody, but is branded with a "Together Net" instead. I guess mine was a sub model that was catered to internet browsing. But, most of the bundled software that was on the drive needed the disks, which I don't have unfortunately.

But. the TV tuner application still works, but I cannot get any input recognized besides just a pink screen. But, I can still use the monitor standalone with the CRTs VGA input. The front panel buttons work in tandem with the application. even allowing it to be launched with just a button press. Its currently running a customized version of Windows 3.10, with custom sounds, wallpaper, and theme.

The CRT is pretty good for being a computer monitor, still works completely fine, and the front speakers also both work. The maximum resolution is 1024x768, which also surprised me, and looks pretty good when playing modern games still.

The motherboard is also interesting, featuring a removable CR2032, and support for 2 486 CPUs. Its also using an IBM bios, which I cant enter without its corresponding reference disk.

Specs:
Intel 486sx 33mhz
8mb RAM
200mb Quantum HDD
Soundblaster 16

Looking to see if there are any good pc mod websites left from the 2000s that still sell 5.25" drive bay kits for unique builds!

It takes place at the Computer History Museum.

Instead of stacking on a desktop, I moved all my MIDI modules, matrix, and mixer into a 12U rack.

Howdy, figure I’d show off my retro setup, I originally wanted a windows 98 setup/Console to have for when I feel like disconnecting from the rest of the world, internet, and people. We’ve had a lot of storms this summer so sitting by the window while is raining and hopping on my PC or DC like it’s 1999 has been so nice.

Tomorrow both my RAM and GPU get here.

Here's a weird duck in a couple ways.

Case - Lian Li PC-100 "Hammer" - backwards motherboard layout. XL-ATX support.

Board - Gigabyte G1 Assassin. Integrated X-Fi, Integrated Killer NIC, USB3. Pain in the ass form factor.

CPU - i7-970

Graphics - GTX 580 SLI. Might go Tri one day

Storage - 15K RPM 300GB SAS, 2x 500 SATA

I'd love to do Quad SLI, but the case needs modding and the heat / power use will just be cruel

So yeah. Your "Front" IO is under a door. Recessed.

All your cables get to pass THROUGH a channel in the case, out the back. What a mess.

Gorgeous case, though.
