What retro things have you done today?

Got a socket 754 board that looks completely undamaged but the get no postcodes and the CPU remains cold. Any ideas? Its a fairly nice board so hoping its just a dead cpu but I think it would still at least warm up??
 
got this immaculate 19" 1280x1024 Fujitsu from fleabay for£35 inc next delivery. not a single scratch or mark on the screen, the seller also fitted protective film over the panel and it came in an enormous box, i think they were one of the last brands to keep with beige colours

ignore the ghosting, i had a duff VGA cable which ive now replaced

Really nice.
What game is that please? Looks familiar but cannot place.
 
GF3 Ti 500 and Voodoo 2 but looks like they have been spotted already.

At least 1 other gem in there ;)

as well as the:
Number9 Revolution 3D
and 2x Number9 branded S3 Savage (probably fairly rare cards, as most seem to be the cut down Savage 4LT)


The £3.79 economy delivery is a concern - what's the betting they'll just be chucked in a box :)

I have purchased from that seller before iirc and it was packed really well. business seller too so should be fairly easy recourse if its packed like crap

There's a Voodoo 3500 in there too and TNT M64. The Voodoo 2 might have some bent pins, all the other cards should be ok, I guess...
 
Just noticed one of the caps on one of my boards has literally **** itself so now its a race to get it off the board before it eats any traces. Its already covered some of those tiny surface mount resistors/caps.
Any recommendations for decent Irons sub £50? happy to go slightly over if thats a real quality boost. I think my one is only 30w as as I have mentioned many times doesnt get nearly hot enough for caps on modern boards
 
I've been after a DB15 Gamepad for Dos gaming for a while now. Always been on the lookout for a Gravis pad but i didn't want to pay much money for one. This one popped up on eBay looking a bit grubby but i offer £4 which the seller accepted. Straight in the bath for a clean and it cleaned up really nicely.

Had a pair of those for fifa back in the day sold them for a tenner at least they aren’t worth a fortune! I literally binned an original 3dfx card and a a voodoo 2 as I was sick of moving them around! (Before prices went bonkers)
