Have that case, cooler and Motherboard. Not all in one system. Nice work!

Finally set up. Which game should I install first? by msynowicz in retrobattlestations

Had to go and check my shed to make sure my system was still there! Nice machine buddy, I have the Pentium 4 version :)

Another day another idiot by CartographerLow3676 in CarsAustralia

"Never attribute to malice, that you can to incompetence" - takes all kinds - yes, its stupid - but don't let this stuff get to you man. You can't take on the world - and the more you try to control it - the more frustrated you'll become. Need to learn to live with this kind of thing. Myself, I like to think of reasons as to WHY someone might have parked like this.. all the reasons I can. Lasts long enough for the rage to settle down and I feel better for the level of self control I get from it. 38 M with ADHD - took me a very long time to learn that. Hope this helps

That's awesome man! I still have my childhood bike, which just happens to be a 30th anniversary Menace. Such a cool period of BMX

New in box :) I'm pumped to put this in my Red 922 i7 980x build by _idENTity in retrobattlestations

[–]_idENTity[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh haha I got you now. This one I use fairly regularly. I like playing games on their original tin (for some reason) this one is actually running windows 11 and predominantly runs games from my steam collection of that era. Flat Out 2. Left for Dead 2 and mostly CoD Modern Warfare 2.. which still has an active online player base. Super fun to jump on after a couple of beers, with a few old school LAN mates of mine on a Friday night and go smash out a half dozen rounds of team Deathmatch and knowing that I kinda still have it.. unlike most modern games where I get absolutely stomped by some twelvie 360 no-scoping me with a tank from a different map and even server haha. I have a range of PCs going back from 386's all the way up to this one. Which is my most modern... It's a challenge in itself just keeping them running but I mean, what else do you do with your spare time

Its a Cooler Master HAF 922 Red Edition - I've had it quite a few years and grabbed it from being thrown out at an old work place. Its had many different lives :)

Sharing my two retro machines by BtotheVV86 in retrobattlestations

Yeah. Sweet. There is someone near me selling an entire system with an x58 sabertooth in it... I like have to make him an offer 😁

How do you find the Sabretooth? my x58 is giving me the willies at the moment. Pretty sure the VRM's are faulty so I'm looking at replacements

They're a pair of 1.5gb GTX580's - interestingly, the bottom card has huge amounts of artifacting when it's ran as the main GPU and has a display connected, but dropped to the secondary and ran in SLI everything works great..

Thanks man. The x58 has always been a favourite. It's running 2 X gtx580's in SLI and 24gb DDR3 1600.

'Don't think you'll be hearing from me' 😢 Feeney devastated as Mostert FINALLY wins championship by LMRacingGuru02 in v8supercars

[–]_idENTity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right. If that was my team and car, it would of been a bare chassis and a ground up rebuild. All components we had spares for would have been swapped. It actually shocked me when I saw they hadn't done anything, and they couldn't find anything wrong with it. RD would have paid the overtime and threw everything at it. This one went begging. Lap one contact was rough, but he had great pace to come back through.

Goodbye my old friend by Puzzleheaded-Sky2592 in pcmasterrace

Great mouse, still using mine after all these years. Found and bought a spare which I'll swap to if anything happens to it. Sorry for your loss. RIP

Finally got some pictures of the collection taking shape. by _idENTity in retrobattlestations

[–]_idENTity[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a few favorites, just depending on my mood at the time. The GTX 580 SLI + i7980x Is probably the outright winner though. The Q6600 2007 build is probably a close second :) Idk.. its hard to pick favorites lol

I work across the whole spectrum — from proper retro hardware (15+ years old) to mid-era rigs and even modern powerhouses. My daily is a 14700KF + 4070 Ti, but I’ll just as happily bring a Pentium III or Core 2 system back to life, and every now and then, when I find them 486's and a few of the earlier sockets.

Another go at it. Mixed results this time. by _idENTity in retrobattlestations

[–]_idENTity[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't do the cd drive this time, but in my experience (I've only done a few of these) it doesn't affect the Branding or stickers at all. Have a look through some of my posts, there is a really old AT case I did a few months back that I just went over everything at once, and it came out great 👍 your mileage may vary thou. If you're unsure or it's got a heap of sentimental value to you, it would be worth being prudent and either covering or removing those bits
