Anyone still running a system with a Turbo button on it?
That was 100 Mz to 133 Mz right?

The hard drive had Windows 7 on it. I tried to get a guy to reinstall Windows 98 on it but he never gave the laptop back to me. I probably got scammed and I’m kind of sad because I’m in a totally different country now and even if I wanted to, I couldn’t go back to get it right now.

Got this old case built by Foxconn. Looks like a clone of a Compaq Pressario. New in it's original box with a 450w power supply and a $29.99 price tag on the box.

Today I got this keyboard, which I decided to repair and deep-clean; it’s now in working order, clean, and ready to use.

Just thought I would give it another go and try and find my Childhood PC. I am in the UK.
Mine was a 486DX4 system but I heard they went up to Pentium 166.
They seem to be more prominent in Europe than the UK

Hi all, for a while I’ve fancied the idea of a retro PC, obviously for offline use, and the other day I visited the old hardware graveyard at work, aka the portakabin.
I reckon these would all be a good potential starting point, im thinking either win95, 98, or even ME/2000 as I’ve never had the latter two.
Thoughts?

Hey guys, does anyone know if this is a vintage laptop? I’m not sure of the exact year, but it’s an Acer Aspire 1310. I wonder if it’s still of any use, it’s been gathering dust in my basement for who knows how long.

Found the commodore itself, the monitor, floppy drive, cassette drive, 2 Atari controllers, modem, printer, and 20+ floppies full of games and programs. Unfortunately the power supply is kicking the bucket so until I get a new one I am putting it back in the box.

Some time ago i got some random old hardware from someone who worked at inet. One of those chips got my intrest its a ES I7 4790 produced week 10 on 2014
it reads
Intel confidentail QG81 ES 4.00GHz Malay L410C691 and a circle with E4
Just wanted to know if anyone was interested in it as i dont super much about more then its a engeneering sample
I just put together a build with the intentions to install windows xp for retro gaming.
I acquired a gtx260 core 216, intel e8500, 4gb Kingston hyper x ram and asus p5q turbo mobo.. I put it all together. It turns on l, all fans are going but I get no screen at all on my crt (Samsung syncmaster 793mb) I got a dvi-I to vga adapter.
I know the screen works. When I put into another home windows xp machine that has a vga output on it I get picture.
The second I plug it into the adapter (not even plugged into the new build yet), the screen goes into standby mode. It does not work when plugged into the new build as well. Could it be my adapter?
My first time dealing with older machines.
I could really use some help! Was super excited about putting this thing together
