I have a Enermax PSU from 2006 in one machine still going strong. And a couple others from the mid 2000’s. Although the Coolermaster 1000w has been recapped and has a recent new fan so not sure that counts…! Also a couple of Dell’s with their original PSU’s from 1999…

Maybe a silly suggestion but have you tried changing the volume on the one speaker? Through my surround configuration on my AVR I have the centre channel boosted up to help with dialogue.

Maybe upgrade to the 256MB version

I need to take them all out and get a big picture at some point!

I think I’ve got 100+ at this point. But I wouldn’t really call them backups although they can be used for that. Just more about collecting…

It would *work*, it might restrict how much it boosts?

If you are doing a whole new build it may be worth hanging on to see 5090/Zen5? Neither are supposedly too far away and likely to launch this year

Arrived today, I know this isn’t the right thread for it (couldn’t find another one) but couple of thoughts about the white Performance 1: Build quality is really nice, a very solid case. Glass is thick, steel panels are nice and solid, overall the case feels quality. I’m used to buying Fractal...

My favourite too, hence the name. Hit after hit.

I ended up buying a white one coming tomorrow just because I wanted to see what it was like. My only complaints before even seeing the case are the lack of a GPU support and glass rear panel. But I like the look of it so that swung me.

Soft brush if it is dry

Blue or don’t bother.

Hasn’t stopped the 4090 selling so well…

A Q9400 will work with a 560 well I would think.

Depends, if it’s built specifically for Windows XP how is it not retro gaming… I have a similar system I built specifically for XP with a 980Ti and a 4790k and its XP performance is insanely good (as expected haha).

After the last one you have to ask why.

Probably my E30 325i sport with a 2.7 conversion. I was about 19, cost me a fortune to insure even back then. Not only was it an absolutely superb car that I dreamed about (and still do) because I was young me and my friends were out driving in it just generally having a great time. I miss those...

Thanks for the tips mate I appreciate it. I think it may have been driver related - I obtained a Vista 64 with SP2 ISO and that has just installed fine - woohoo! I think that original release of vista was temperamental at the best of times…

This could be an option, if all else fails. Didn’t think of AHCI, is it a known issue with Vista? I probably wrongly assumed that it supported AHCI but it’s been a LONG time since I installed Vista

I tried to install Vista today from a retail disc on to period correct hardware (Striker II Extreme, Q9650, GTX 285) and it blue screens after the installation process. Amazing really, if a retail discs and period correct hardware doesn’t work no wonder I remember it being so badly received in...
