Build: 2 Motherboard freak PC !

[tatsurou]

Sup! Here I will be trying to post my build-idea I had on my mind for few months already - a 2 mobo PC. Aim is to get a PC which will be able to pull a Fallout 4 on Ultra settings as well as put text logs onto a tape memory writer (useless, is it not? ) - pretty much to have a compatibility right down to late 70's with both software and hardware.


It wont proceed fast, because I do it in free time and using spare money. A "thing" will be hooked together with crossover lan cable to enable exchanging data between each other.

Also I was thinking that I will make them both dependable from each other, so one could be steering another. We will see how it goes anyway

I wished I could witness beginning of pc master race. However my first ever cpu was q6600 which I just got 4 years ago. This staff looks so different compare to what we have today.

My first build was an AMD K62-400, hardware was indeed very much different than what we have now, was a lot less user friendly on setup.

Going to watch this build, be interesting to see how it turns out :

Slot processors, ha ha. Remember them well.

Don't think this was the slot revision, I think it was a socket, maybe it was replaced by the slot. Was def in the time of sims, dip switches, IRQ's and ISA slots

Ok here is the case solution I have on my mind recently.





Basically two merged Antec One cases together.
Firstly, I was thinking about employing some 19 or 21 inch server rackmount, but they are very expensive and usually too small for the job.

Here is my quick Photoshop vision, just for you to see what I imagine.

This whole thing will be lying horisontally like it is shown on white picture.

Position of them may vary a little depending on tools available atm.
