Post Your Old Hardware

I just got this one back from my mother's PC that I had built for her a few years ago. She now has an HD5450 in her refurbished box that I got her for Christmas this year.

This served me well and was still in good working order when I got it back at Christmas.

Thanks for the reply, grog, I didn't know dummy cards used to be required on older boards when not utilizing multi GPU.

@Dyre: Sweet card! It came out during what was a hardware drought for me (between my 9800 Pro and the 4670).

We used this card for a very short period, my sister needed one urgently for her old PC and, as it was already really old at the time, someone just gave it to us and it remained in the house:

 

I had one of these many moons ago

 

I can't post pics (due to the nature of the building they're in), but I have five old 733mhz Intel Celerons (512 megs of ram!) on proprietary mainboards running a few voice recording modules that are still in daily use.

I recently had to replace a CPU card (MB/CPU/RAM all in one), and had to ship the card back to the OEM for reman. Ultimately they had to source another part because the mainboard was clocking the CPU up to 748mhz (and crashing!)

 

About 5.5 years old, dual Xeon E5-2670 (8 physical cores per cpu, 16 physical total, 32 logical total) with generic motherboard and 128GB ECC-DDR3:

Nice collections :O

Ummm... define "old hardware" .

Tighten the heatsink on a bench vise and use a screwdriver and a hammer to nudge it a bit. Just hammer on the screwdriver a bit while it being inserted between the CPU's PCB and the heatsink. I know this looks a bit savage, but it works .

 

You've got bad caps on the card.

 

Oh yeah, those are bulging. I don't know if the card is still at my mom's home or not, though.

 

it's the nvidia way.... they've always had inferior on the edge of passing/failing hardware components.
