I recently felt into the mood of building an {{old}} computer system, preferably a 4-way Pentium Pro. I found a place that sells the 512KB PPro 200Mhz for $17, I found an appropriate motherboard on ebay for cheap here but now I need an appropriate case for it (and 72 pin DIMMs)

Anyone ?

don't ask me why, I just have the urge towards nostalgy

I wanted an 8-way system, but it seems like only newer Xeons support 8-way and I don't wanna pay that much money on em.

desktop, midi or full tower? We have about 50 cases. lol You know that tho.

Don't think we have any simms left tho. It went fast. He says give us 250 and you can have all the spare stuff we have but YOU haul it. lmbo You Need van!!

Tons of MB's, and all sorts of other cards.

Gemini · 03-18-2002, 10:49 AM

I was gone so long and forgot so much, I had to write our phone number on my hand for a week to remember it! lmao

Yes, buy a cobalt then kick yourself in the balls on an hourly basis. Those are the biggest pieces of shit known to man.

I wanna keep it as low budget as possible. I have a dual PIII 1Ghz 1GB RAM as my main computer but I wanna build a linux-only box that's gonna work as a router/firewall/SETI machine

Since PII XEONs / PPros are cheap as shit, I can buy tons of em for an apple and an egg. Fuck cobalts !

darksoft · 03-18-2002, 03:26 PM

Bro, you'd be better off finding a machine that works woth DIMMs as those 72 sticks are hard to find and prolly not as cheap as you think. Shit, a K62-500 machine would work wonders for what you wanna do and prolly run a couple hundred bucks or so.

dude, you don't understanr my fetish with SMP machines !

darksoft · 03-18-2002, 04:43 PM

Ah, my bad :D Well, get some cheap ass celery processors and make one then. They aren't too badly priced these days if you can find the slower speeds...
