pc components you regret getting rid of.

My 3DFX Voodoo 5500 PCI - because it was awesome and had two fans on the VSA-100 processors. I also have some weird nostalgia for 3DFX and remember the excitement of un boxing my first Voodoo card...

Sold my Laptop, bought a netbook. It's not bad, but going from a 17" dual-core bluray laptop that can play quite a few games on high to a 10" netbook maybe wasn't the best move i've ever made.
although i did get £450 for it.

None really, as they were sold on to provide funds for newer parts.

I miss the CPU I sent out to someone by mistake

I used to have this mahoosive pc case. It was a big ugly purple eyebleeder but it had room for a ridiculous amount of drives, was sturdy as a rock and had a locked front panel, necessary if you have a younger brother!

I usually sell stuff I know that I am not going to use ever again and keep all the rest just in case or for the boring days.... got rid of some pentium P4 PCs and P4 bundles

My old 19" 4:3 TFT monitor and my 19" CRT. Both were perfect for older games. Hate having to use widescreen with the blackbars on each side for non-widescreen games.

sapphire 4870 1gb. Not sure why, just really liked it! spot on card that never caused me any issues and ran all of my games on full.

My N64

I bought a second hand one a year back or so but somehow it just didn't seem the same so I sold it.

Come to think of it I regret selling that one too...

saintdefender · 8 Mar 2011 at 21:34

Not to bothered myself, if I don't want it to go I don't let it go really.

My Juno P6. Many's the time on a hot summer night I'd chuck my pillow and a sheet in that bad boy and settle down for a cool but horrendously noisy night's sleep.

My Q6600 fo' sure!
(Although 4GHz dual core is far better for the games I play which don't use more than 2 cores).

On a seperate note - Legend of Zelda & Super Mario All-stars on SNES

My Sound Blaster Audigy SE because i got rid of it for a Creative X-FI fatality champion that worked half of the time because of crappy driver support .

^All of them. ¬_¬

I still have this though, 2 of them but I miss it on modern hardware.

My 21" CRT monitor, sure LCD monitors are thinner and less likely to break your desk, but the IQ still isn't as good...

martynpd · 9 Mar 2011 at 02:00
