Maybe someday I'll buy something similar but modern, and build a properly specced Steam Machine 😆
added a front SATA SSD drive bay, replaced the NB heatsink with a cooler

I thoroughly enjoy how this trailer for the inclusion of the Armed Forces of Ukraine into Squad shows a Stugna-P slapping russian armour. Iconic.

Well, The K7S7AG is here. Seems like old new stock. Max CPU is a Athlon XP3000+ with 333fsb (400 is out os spec but kinda supported) so I have some on eBay watch. This might become a Win98, Win XP dual boot. I have a voodoo 2 without a permanent home at the moment, but this seems to be a good place

I'm glad I kept this 12V PSU after it died. Replacing the output caps fixed it right up 👌 I also replaced some 100 uF 50V cap and checked the mains caps - fortunately, they were okay, as I don't have any in this size

this made me sad and angry: adding a fan to a closed side of a heatsink - is just fucking stupid 😵💫

The Radiacode sellers lifted a video from a friend of mine and used it in their advertising without permission or attribution.
Days after hearing I'm still pretty angry about it. They could have at least sent them a free detector, or two, like they seem to with many other internet personalities. :|

Probably the simplest way of getting clean 6V DC from a 2S Li-Ion battery: two 1N4007 diodes in series.
(I got tired of recharging AA batteries every 3-4 hours 😆 and I keep it playing in the background way more than I expected)

Ok, this is getting ridiculous. I had to heat both halves, and now it freaking works. First, I heated the top half - it got rid of artifacts, but WinXP would restart. Then I heated the bottom, and now it boots and passes 3DMark06 🤯

Added heatsinks to the VRM (as per tradition) and put it in my Shuttle SG31. I also replaced 2 x 2GB DDR2 800 6-6-6-18 with Geil 4-4-4-12 (the motherboard doesn't support DDR2 1066, and I don't want to OC on a 250W PSU😅)

anyway, I really love these Zotac 9800GT cards:
- they are low power and don't need 6pin power
- they are mostly quiet(if fan isn't cracked) and cool
- they are single slot(fit small PCs like Shuttle)
- they have audio input and HDMI output! - you can have hardware EAX audio and video in one cable!

- they are mostly quiet(if fan isn't cracked) and cool

Well, it survived the wash and drying 🫣
