Define "reasonably priced".... :P I love my Model M. And I don't think you will ever find a new 1:1 replacement. At least I never did. I did find the Corsair K95 with BROWN switches. Its much quieter than the M, but feels about right. Yea, I'm not a fan of the RGB, but you can easily...

My usual attempts to find documents have failed, so I fingered I'd ask the wise gurus here. :) Its a really clean RCA Videotek data terminal VP3501 I had a peek inside to get a handle on what I was dealing with. Make sure nothing was leaking, or anything had let the magic smoke out. I...

I've used a Supermicro motherboard for years. it would NEVER complete a warm-reset from Windows. You had to pull the power to reboot. Made windows updates an utter nightmare. retired the system to the garage a few months ago. Works fine. I eventually fingered out, it was because of the...

I have one of their earliest boards, a socket 5 VIP board. I also recently upgraded my garage PC to this xeon board: https://www.ebay.com/itm/305232515563 95% of what they do is whole-server racks. but they also still make the standard E-ATX boards at a bit of a premium. Now TYAN was big...

i have the processors (4x 900/2m) and ram (16gb). I thought I had a case for the big bastard, but i dont. I do have a ePay saved search, and occasionally I see some candidates

Well. You're no fun. Also, i cant put Pii's into my 6x6. I do have a quad slot-2 I need to build too... So many projects. too little time.

Not to change the subject, but the cost of p-pro overdrives is nucking futs. I still need to get two more for my system, and at epay prices, i'll need to win the lotto to get them.

true, but the 8-way slot-2 xeon is a supported config. the ppro 6x6 was not supposed to work afaik. as i recall, it was supposed to cap out at quad processors. the fact ALR dropped the mic on everyone and made a 6-way that worked with the overdrives... nothing short of awesome. I really...

Oh, you're no fun anymore. https://www.ebay.com/itm/196082738184 https://www.ebay.com/itm/134143181391

the fact he is selling the REQUIRED memory board separate pisses me off to no end. To say nothing of the silly price.

If you want a slot2 xeon, the only practical way tog et one is so hunt down a full rack server. not unlike how Victor Bart did very recently. and you will quickly find out, it is not designed for first-time users. they are very picky about hardware.

well, every decade or so, the ASUS XG-DLS ( https://theretroweb.com/motherboards/s/asus-xg-dls ) will pop up on ebay. its practically the only dual slot-2, non-oem, ATX board that I know of. If one does pops up on ebay, make sure the cpu brackets are included. they are unique to the...

i'm curious about the electronics microscopes. I know if its trash I can just return it. but after the knee-capping I took buying xmas stuff...

oh yea, all kinds. Nothing too specific, just the jelly-bean parts. Everything i've gotten has been within spec, at least as far as I can test them. Most of the parts I get are for troubleshooting and repairs. Replacement USB sockets, switches, etc. I tested a few the 2N2222's I got and all...

There is a MASSIVE amount of scam items on the site. They sell flashlights that output 10,000 lumens, as an example. which is obviously impossible. But with a bit of scrutiny, its pretty easy to avoid the worst of the scam items. All that said, i've probably spent about $500 on the site. I...

well, it looks like someone bought it. Hopefully they chime in and let us know where the card is going.

An mach32 on a 386? That just doesn't feel right.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/386124874883 Ok, i've been around long enough, to know all the major ones. And this card has been keeping me up at night. I know its not VLB (Very Long Bus), but it looks like whoever made the card and subsequent motherboard, didnt have any of the typical pci card...

WAIT WHAT? *2 minute google search* now I want one. I'll put it right next to my ALR 6x6.

This is personally what I am running with freenas right now. in a slightly smaller version of this chassis: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/lian-li-mini-itx-nas-pc-q26,27950.html The whole setup is practically silent. the motherboard -...
