This could take longer than I thought.

Been sorting out all my pootery stuff to check it all out and it looks like it's going to take me a while.

There are 6 Full PCs:

A collection of RAM and CPUs:

11 motherboards, 5 PSUs, 5 optical drives, 5 HDDs, 1 floppy drive and 1 card reader:

9 GFX cards, 10 coolers, 3 sound cards and 2 LAN cards:

Goodbye weekend

Bloody hell, that month seems to have gone quickly.

That's a lot!

Kick me when you're done as we discussed

Haly · 23-08-2008, 20:36

Impressive!
Some of those graphics cards look better than ones in most of the rigs here

Stan_Lite · 23-08-2008, 20:48

Pretty much everything in these pictures is up for grabs.

Once I've tested it all, I'll get a list together of everything that's working and post it in the for sale/freecycle thread.

What kinda pcs do you have there? Would love something more meaty than my iBook for video converting, etc.

Mostly X2 AMDs and 1 Pentium D. The better X2s are already spoken for, I'm afraid but the Pentium D 805 clocks like a good 'un and isn't too shabby. Dunno what your iBook is like, performance wise but if you think the 805 will be better, you're welcome to it

leowyatt · 23-08-2008, 21:11

Well it's a 1.4 G4 not sure what that is PC performance

Will probably make a hackintosh out of but not sure what parts are best

<cheek mode>
would it be possible to ask Mr Feek for some suggestions and see what parts you have??

I'll happily admit I know nothing about the PC parts market anymore

EDIT: feek has mentioned something about 775 processor and p65 gigabyte board

Stan_Lite · 23-08-2008, 21:26

Well, the Pentium D is a 775 but it's nowhere near as fast as the Core2 chips. Dunno if it would still work as a Hackintosh - I don't know much about that side of things at all.

Feek · 23-08-2008, 21:31

For a hack it's really got to be a core2duo or quadcore jobbie otherwise kernel hacking has to happen and you really want to be using a vanilla kernel. Any of the Gigabyte boards that we were talking about previously, 965P-DS3 or similar are perfect.

ah well would it run vista??? or should I just stick to XP?
