That sucks man. I remember seeing some of your posts. Hope things are better soon.

Yeah, I may or may not have spent 4 hours today just reading about astrophysics at work because I was super excited to see it.

Wouldn’t it be faster to give your kids beer until hey fall asleep? ;D

Drinking wine, folding laundry, and reading about dry cleaning contamination (because that's what I got fixated on at work for several hours).

Impromptu visit to seafood restaurant. It’s my weakness, and I need to try everything. Resulting in a large bill every time.

A retro rig. It would be so cool. The only thing is that I don’t have a case, but...

DO EEEEET. Might I suggest a mineral oil cooled rig with 90s colored LEDs for maximum retro-coolness?

Impromptu seafood is best seafood. Here’s something to help you get in the mood for your meal.

Procrastinating on university, as usual.

Just took delivery of a very expensive monitor, so playing with that this week - editing photos/videos, playing some Project CARS.

I’ll probably be going to see the Martian myself next week, actually.

I’m trying to figure out what to do about no case... other than screwing everything into a piece of wood.

Do it! Any thoughts on a case?

On a similar note, I have these to install tonight:

I’m taking one of those ^ up there to a brewery, where I will drink a reasonable and responsible amount of craft beer, then drive home.

Aw, thanks bud. Move to San Diego. We’re up to over 130 craft breweries in the county now. It’s tough to keep up.

MMMMM Jungle Juice is awesome. What do you normally use for your recipe?

I usually go for Guava Juice and Pineapple juice with gin, vodka and rum.

I didn’t know San Diego had that many craft breweries. The only brewery from SD I know of is Sculpin. The only thing close to that we have up in San Jose is San Pedro Square.

10/02/2015 at 22:37

I didn’t make it, some lady friends did. I believe they put Everclear, fruit punch, and assorted cut up fruit in it.

Do it.

And while you’re at it, you might as well toss in another driven axel to make your own 6X6.

Those are actually RAC RG4s. Apparently they’re pretty hard to find

As typical with older computers, things never go as planned. I forgot that I need to still order a Voltage Regulator Module for the second processor. At least it is now running an 866mhz P3 rather than the original 733mhz P3.

Off the top of my head ...

HP Pavilion 8390 - P2 Windows 98 (formerly Windows 2000), First computer I remember using.

Dell Dimensions XPS T500 - P3 Windows 98 SE

Gateway 2000 P5-90 - P1 Windows 3.1

Leading Edge Model D - 8088 DOS 3.4 (I think)

Dell PowerEdge 1600SC - 2x Xeon, Server 2000

Dell Dimensions XPS D266 - P2 Windows 95 (a friend recently got 2, I still need to pick mine up)

Dell Precision 220 - P3 Windows 2000 (already mentioned)

Dell Dimensions 4700 - P4 Windows XP

Gateway GT5428 - PD Windows 7

Lenovo M58p*- C2D Windows 7, Technically replacement for GT5428, built over the summer for ~$50. *(M58p case, Dell Optiplex 780 motherboard) Planning a write-up in the near future.

2x Apple iBook G4 - PPC G4 OS 10.4

2x Apple PowerBook G3 - PPC G3 OS 8.1 and OS 9.2.2

Dell Inspiron E1505 - C2D Windows XP

Dell Inspiron 6000 - PM Windows XP

Lenovo W530 - i7 Windows 7, Replaced E1505

That’s my personal collection. A good friend of mine has an equally sizable personal collection. All combined, and including our shared collection, we probably have ~80 computers total, both old and new (not including computers donated or scrapped).

10/03/2015 at 09:17

o_O Damn! Where the hell do you get the old machines from?

That’s an impressive lise and from those two posts, they seem to be in good shape as well. I used to have an XPS T550 which I max’d out to 1GHz and 768mb RAM. That was an awesome rig, ended up donating it to a local church.

You would be surprised what people are trying to get rid of. Strangely enough, most people don’t see any value in computers older than ~4 years. Quite often we will get old computer stuff as payment for helping friends and acquaintances with computer issues. (I got the Dimension 4700 for helping someone replace the HDD on their newer computer)

Other than the computers that my immediate family have had since new (Leading Edge, HP 8390, Insprion 6000 and E1505, and the W530), everything in my personal collection was free*.

* OK, so I bought the Precision 220 for $1.

The P5-90 is in the roughest shape (yellowed and cracked front panel, sometimes the 1.1Gb HDD doesn’t start the first time). I have no idea what it was used for, but I think it was used hard.

My friend has bought a few older computers for his personal collection, but I don’t believe he has spent more than $40 per computer.

Thinking about it, I’d love to document and catalog everything, and maybe put it online somehow. It would be a good reference for me, too, since more recently I’m having trouble remembering the specs on everything.

That T550 sounds awesome! The ‘90s-early ‘00s Dells are some of my favorites.
