I decided to look through some boxes of my retro PC stuff I've collected up over the years and I found socket 370 boards with ISA slots on them that I didn't even know I had but unfortunately the capacitor plague has got most of them apart from one 370 board that looks ok'ish with just two slightly bulging caps...
I also found a socket 462 board with its processor and AGP plus DDR RAM... This board looks very good, no bulging caps but I have no CPU Cooler for it or PSU. The PSU that I was going to use is dead and has leaky capacitors... god those capacitors
lol.
I will need to look through some of my PSU's next... hopefully I have something...
So here is what I have found so far...
Retro beige case
3.5 Floppy drive
Optical Drive
Motherboard
Processor
AGP TNT GPU
A bag of PC screws & stand offs
A 64GB SSD
I am almost there... I just need a cooler and a PSU and some suitable capacity RAM. Something like 128MB will do. I will also need an IDE to SATA adapter. Oh and some thermal compound, can't forget the thermal compound.
Its quite funny looking on ebay at the DDR400 RAM... the lower capacities cost more than the high capacities.
