I always used to lust after needless gimmicks like these when I was younger, still fun to look back them.

Why did it have SODIMMs?

To be fair though, I dont see how a lithium Ion battery that big can keep a decently specced out system for the time running long enough to allow for a safe shutdown.

Fucking SLI 8800gtx and this board was a fucking concrete shitshow. 2007 set my expectations for computer building. Apparently helping my dad build his old DOS, computer for 3.1, 95, and 98se was fine back in the 90s; I guess his computer to me wasn't a big deal even with the high level of danger from sharp corners and shit. At least it worked when he upgraded the ram. After hitting the computer hard of course :(

Maximus VIII Hero.

More like VIII Zero GPU Sag, among other things.

Why the fuck is it "DOGFISH" on the far one and "DOG FISH" on the near one

>>59130593
phew good thing those heat pipes are offset like a car engine as to prevent any destructive harmonics.

That mobo is as lame as the one with the gun on it

I can pick one up for $80 where I live (store going out of business) and an FX-9590 for $100. Should I pull the trigger for the lulz?

>>59131793

If its for lulz then sure - but cooling such a beast is no joke.

>>59131793
If you want an over-glorified space heater, sure.

I eventually removed all the heatpipe stuff and fitted a full set of waterblocks.
