Sell the box to @NinjaCoolI might even have just the big box left.......wonder what that's worth lol
I would go with Socket 754 or even 939, you can still find cheap motherboards and CPUs, great choice for heatsinks too. Socket 478 is a pain to get heatsinks and higher speed CPUs now, getting more and more expensive.Those are not a million miles from me but a starting bid of £100 is beyond what I am willing to spend on retro stuff these days! The Brighton one though is interesting given it comes with quite a lot of stuff.
I'm thinking of pulling together a fast-ish 98 PC and I am not sure if I want to go for socket 754 or 478. I've used both in the past and they've both been fine. It wouldn't be a high end 754 chip so I wouldn't be too worried by my modern power supply not keeping up. What's peoples preference?
Haha was that the one on ebay with £11 or best offer? I went to go buy that and it had gone......SWINE!In the end I saw an MSI 478 board that is quite old with a 533MHz bus, which suits me for my Windows 98 usage. I got it for £8 plus £3.50 postage. Comes with a cooler and I've got a 2GHz Willamette (I think it is) to go in it but I might spend a couple of £ on a ubiquitous 2.4B GHz Northwood.
Install windows 98 and get some sort of rudimentary dos soundcard drivers going and list on ebay for £100.are pentium 4's in high demand? i got some dell machines lying around lol one mans trash is truly another mans treasure lol![]()
It's amazingly how bizarrely true it is!Install windows 98 and get some sort of rudimentary dos soundcard drivers going and list on ebay for £100.
Title it RETRO GAMING PC **LOOK**
Include a screenshot of it running doom.
Profit
eBay is full of those types of sales and they do seem to sell too which I find odd. I guess some people just see it running doom and think yep I can relive my youth on that.It's amazingly how bizarrely true it is!
I was contemplating an old dimension 4000 to build a sleeper in, did it years ago and was great fun...you can fit a 9800GX2 in them. Problem is they are now worth a fortune if you are an ebay seller
The first Quake? I imagine it would be butter smooth tbh with you depending what GPU you are usinghow would quake run on a pentium 4, 2ghz single core?
probably get 1000fps. It runs on a pentium 1 100mhz...how would quake run on a pentium 4, 2ghz single core?
Have you got a GPU to go in it? assuming you need half height and PCI?Agp the good old days.
Just checked its an optiplex gx620. Has integrated graphics but its gonna be flop
ahh yes i have a half height one, nvidia A2000 lol may be too much for it, but do have various other low profile quadro cards. will see what igpu can do, maybe it can do quake with opengl?Have you got a GPU to go in it? assuming you need half height and PCI?
Not sure what OS you were looking at using but I have a half height X1550 PCI (Non e) sat doing nothing in the garage if that was to become of help to youahh yes i have a half height one, nvidia A2000 lol may be too much for it, but do have various other low profile quadro cards. will see what igpu can do, maybe it can do quake with opengl?
