Was searching for some tools in my closet, found some old OC gears in the shoe box here that is long forgotten.

Really, suddenly I feel very old now ! :(

Guess some of you might recognize some of this stuff don't you ? :)

Ever seen CPU HSF assembled in India ? This is it ! Again, another favorite HSF since it's so quite and effective at that time.

now THATS some old stuff. looks pretty cool too. Not too much old gear for me.

Note to you; this should be in Computer related discussion. Mods: dont delete this, just move it, id like to see some pictures of older stuff :D
 
Don't hate, I sold my main rig and pressed my collectors items back into service. I'm typing this on a Maxtor 80 gig IDE, a A7V266C board, XP2400 (not so out dated) 768 megs of Corsair XMS and its cooled by the upgrade PAL8045 or whatever the heck the bigger 80mm one was called, I actually have 2 of them.
 
Uhh behind me I have a functional board with dual P3 450's on it.

File server is Dual p3 800's

Laptop is a P3 500
Oldest laptop is a OLD Dell lattitude with at best a P2 in it.

I have a P1 sitting on the shelf beside me, I have a Slot 1 adaptor in my toolbox, need I keep going?

my main rig uses a maxtor 80 gig IDE for storage :(

While they of course don't have as low of a latency as a Raptor, they are good for what they are!

They gotten good benchies for 7,200 RPM HDDs.

In fact, Maxtors can kick a Raptor 36GB's arse when it comes to STR!
 
Haha, 300A, the chip that revolutionized overclocking. I have an S3 Savage 3d sitting in my room I realized a second ago, for another piece of throwback hardware.
 
Guys, pic please ! Just the OC stuffs part, not the stock one ! :)

Indeed, that legendary 300A ignited the explosion of the mass OC Community world wide. :D

@speed bump, what OC gear you used on that beast ? Non stock HSF ? Mind post the pic please, just the OC (non stock) stuffs from that rig if any ! :D

Talking bout 300A, mine is gone now and still feel sad for throwing it into the garbage years ago ! That is still an OC collector's item. :(
 
I'm going to dig some of my old stuff out and take pics and post too I see. I've had some of those heatsinks that bing posted myself, including the Agilent Arcticooler (which was good for it's time) and the Alpha PAL6035.

So only after-market or non-stock stuff allowed BING?

Sure MM ! :) C'mon that ain't rule ! As long it's old enough prolly 3 or 4 generations maybe? Just OC "related" stuffs only.

So please, expecting your pics here ! :D
 
well.. no pic, but i haven't visited or posted here in 3 years and the gear in my sig is turning vintage.. kinda.

i just ordered new stuff from newegg and am glad these forums are still around (-:

LOL, check out my sig, I feel so dated.
 
I guess this counts, running a 386 caseless. 1996 Putting down SUSE 2.4 or some very early version. Had to uses a German dictionary. Poor picture because taken with one of the first digital cameras affordable at the time the Kodak dc20. Notice the boxes of floppies!
