Not quite vintage, but I bet someone has what I'm looking for. I sold 99% of all my old PC parts and I got the itch to build something again. I have a case a TJ06 but I need the rest. Leaning towards a SK939 7900gtx sli setup but I'm open to other things, only really looking for top end parts. I will also need a dvd drive, floppy, sound card and all the little bits too.

Here is a list of parts I'm looking for.
GPUs something like a 7900 gtx, gx2 or 6800 ultra.
motherboard, anything nforce 4 or newer. would love a DFI lanparty board.
CPU to go with the motherboard.
Ram, something high end. no more then 4gb.
DVD drive.
Floppy drive.
WD Velociraptor drives.
PCIe raid card.
PCIe ssd would be nice too but not needed.
sound card, a X-fi or audigy.
PSU, pc power and cooling or something UV/flashy, modular would be nice but not needed.
fans, UV stuff, coolers, old school water cooling stuff would be nice too.
USB, sound, fire wire side IO board for a Silverstone TJ06 case

​


I'm in muskingum county Ohio and work in Newark, only interested in picking stuff up locally and for cash.

can't edit my post, found a mother board, a NOS 790i, a little newer then what I wanted but I could not pass up the deal. So I will need some ddr3 and a core 2 CPU.
 
bought ram and CPU, the CPU is a hold over but the ram will stay, looking for a q9770 or e8700 or the uber rare e8800
 
bought everything but the USB, sound, fire wire side IO board for a Silverstone TJ06 case and GPUs. looking for 2 2gb GTX 285s, or 2gb 4890s, I need to test if I can use such a new card for my games first.

I have a XP build gamer which has a 5500 with 4GB and all of my games run okay so far. I know one is not supposed to exceed 2GB build but you use what you have. In the event that I find a XP game that balks at the 4GB, then I suppose that game just goes away.

the issue isn't ram realated but rather has to do with glitches with hardware 3d with DX5/6 and older game with 8xxx and newer cards.
