hand splitting 80 pin ide cables into uniform 8 wire chunks so they were """"""rounded""""" the home assembled computer scene came into its own with celly 300a's @ 450mhz on bxboards, and died when core2 came out. i'm not bagging on c2d, but it murdered upgrade-itis. add cheap SSD's on top and the build-your-own scene died imo. my NAS is a 1.83 c2d downclocked to 1.5ghz and passively cooled, with a 120gb system SSD and some new platter drive that can push 120MB/sec all day, and i just don't. think. about. it. saturates gigE all day long and runs for free

Father Jack posted:you think? i tried it out under emulation a while ago and felt hugely let down. maybe i just expected too much from it based on my memory of playing it on the ps1 and being blown away by how good it was for the time it's a racing game - you don't really have time to look at graphics quality while playing. the handling feels fine to me. don't play on a big-rear end flatscreen though that'll melt your eyes.

Jonny 290 posted:hand splitting 80 pin ide cables into uniform 8 wire chunks so they were """"""rounded""""" to be fair the e4300 core 2 duo, the cheapest and slowest of the range at launch, was an even better deal for the home builder than the 300a binned for 1.8ghz, i got mine to 3.2 with a little goosing of the voltage using the retail fan, in a case with no additional cooling other than the psu fan. it ran perfectly as my main desktop for at least 8 years. then i came across a free q6600 and ran that for a while before doing a whole new build. for my main desktop i went straight from something that started with a cpu from 2006 to a 7600k and gtx1060. yes, the price of progress is fast hardware obsolescence, but the fact a budget home build could still be hanging in there after 11 years has it's appeal too

i still fire up ut99 from time to time and it still rocks. over the last few years i've probably spent more time playing stuff in mame than modern titles, but yes, for me at least the original GT is one to let go.

Sweevo posted:"this webpage is best viewed at 800x600" the first 19" crt i ever saw could only do 8*6. i was still astonished by a monitor just being that big. at the tail end of the crt era i had 2 sun branded 22" trinitrons that weighed 30+ kilos each. i was always a little nervous stretching my legs out under my desk.

the days of crt monitors that were always smaller than the advertised size because they measured the size of the tube including what was covered by the bezel, so that 17 inch monitor was only 15.9 inches of usable space there was a time when a 21" monitor was a sight to behold, mainly because it often cost more than the computer it was connected to

i still have a large 20" sun compatible relic. still has a good picture and i see no need to get rid of it, so it stays in storage mostly and sometimes i'll play 90s games on it i don't know about actually using one regularly in 2k19

Super hyped CD games like 7th Guest and Phantasmagoria being pretty hyped by audio tracks playing from ps1 CDs. “na na na na na” tony hawk developing an early and long lived desire for more ram. when my friends dad gave me 4x4mb simms (?) so I could upgrade my 486 DLC-40 to 20mb I was so excited then later attempting to use some weird riser board so I could insert those sticks in an early Pentium with EDO ram Buyin a 4x CD-rom, loving up installing it, then the nice peeps in the shop fixing it and replacing my 170mb HDD with a 540mb
