Greetings to overseas fans of old computers.
I decided to experiment and post a post with cc on com. sorry for grammatical errors, translated by Google.
I'll show you my little collection.
Photo of a friendly team 11.2022.
How did this even happen?
Three years ago I took out a 775 motherboard with a core 2 duo from the closet, someone gave it away a long time ago. The idea came to mind to assemble a computer and sell it.
At that time, I only knew how to reinstall Windows and clean my cheap laptop.
After running around the city and collecting everything I needed, I used logic to understand what to put where.
I borrowed my grandmother's TV (plasma from 2009 from VGA).
Using a hint from YouTube, I learned how to turn on a computer without a start button (there was no case).
And this thing came to life, and a picture appeared on the screen.
At that moment I was already jumping for joy.
I started collecting cheap PCs and selling them on Avito.
It went very badly, the goods in my city were not liquid.
But I really liked the process itself.
Gradually I began to collect and buy old computers, I always loved retro.
That’s how I came to live like this)).
I am gradually learning the components and software. I'm developing in general.
The goal is 35 system units to cover the most popular generations of ibm-pc compatible machines from 1982 to 2010.
And how it goes. I don't plan to stop.
In the process of development, computers were assembled and reassembled, here is a recent photo.
And of course, like any assembler, a warehouse of components appeared.
From the software box
Small collection of video cards
Sound
Few drives
HDD IDE
Radiators and coolers
AT and ATX power supplies
Plugs of all shapes and factors
Just a little bit of ide cables)
40 pins 106 pieces. 34 pins 43 pieces.
RAM from different years
processors
And also a bunch of LPTs, Coms, Molexes, buttons for the front panel, speakers and screws. only there are no motherboards. As soon as I get my hands on the board, the computer is assembled on the same day.
The spare parts warehouse contributes to this.
Not that this was a necessary supply of components for assemblies. But once you start, it becomes difficult to stop.
thank you for your attention.
