No idea on the K7 board, but it doesn't state Athlon XP, so possible it's an early board, something like:

Has anyone found a cheaper supplier for the trigger butters for the RG35XX? Etys seller are selling it for $30 + another $30 shipping..which is insane.

Got a picture of them?

If they are what I'm thinking I have an stl for them and could break out the resin printer for a set for people.

That's a good spot as there are a few bits there I'm after so I've put an offer in!

Top left I am certain is "Geil Black Dragon" RAM with an LED!

Mine been fantastic so far and will only get (much) better now that the GPU has been unlocked allowing Batocera and native N64 Mupen64 core!

There are so many systems it can run perfectly for such a small, cheap device. It makes them look great too because of the good quality screen.

My stock (2100mAh) battery lasted 6 hours 15 on PSX 3/8 brightness, (low volume) which is damned good really. I have a 2800mAh on the way anway

I assume getting Batocera on is pretty straightforward?

I got the bundle for £40 plus postage. I'm particularly after the Slot1, 754 board, am2/3/+/-/? Board and the basic ISA sound card which works out alright value. I'll shift the PCI Radeon 7000 for a few quid and maybe the 754 Athlon as they don't seem that common, I'll put a basic superintendent in there.

Yay I have a few project(s) finally

Yep, there are issues though. One being a bug where the motor stays running on really low

"Rare gigabyte k7 motherboard opened but never use very good condition box has some scuffs because of age selling as untested (no posting)"

Shame the board in the box isn't a K7 board ,so why it's in an Athlon/Duron branded box is anyone's guess

Installed Batocera Alpha 0.2. The menu looks fantastic but controls need some work with certain cores and performance isnt great still (at least on PSX and Amiga)

£20 loot crate!



Most of the loose GPUs are bent to pieces and have surface mounts knocked off.. But not all of them, and some were boxed
Also the PSUs are FSP oem units with 27a 5v rails and weigh a lot! Am I right in thinking FSP were a good oem?

 

[manisses]

FSP were the good ones back in the day, they made solid PSU's. Really good for systems with Athlon/XP.

 

[almoststew1990]

my eBay job lot arrived today with a bonus board - a Socket A Mercury KVT400aX-L (blue and yellow looks weird). Quite interesting though. Now to test everything before the wife wakes up properly and wants to do House Stuff!
