I'd keep the monitor. Toss the optiplex, unless you need a server or are in desperate need or a desktop.

Would be pretty cool though if you added some ago card and delt with driver hell to get 98 on that.

>>61766529
not in this area, Thrift shops are always selling them at 30-40 bucks and never went to go down on price, so someone must be buying them. That'd the cheapest computer i could find on Craigslist for a months that doesn't evolve driving 5 hours round trip.

To be honest I'll offer him 5 bucks. Collecting vintage computer stuff is really scarce in my area, although it could be that I'm not looking in the right places. I feel I would be just getting that to mess around with it for a bit and then store it in my closet. I always have a soft spot for old tech that still works but isn't very wanted as well, because I can still see all the engineering that led up to it.

It's a backplane module. In a system using these your processor/memory would be on a different PCB and would connect to that one in order to get access to expansion ports.

No. It's common on older boards for the solder to get weak and break. "Reflowing" briefly melts the solder in the hopes of making the connection solid again.

>K-6 2 on a SiS chipset

I am so sorry.
K-6 2 had external L2 caches, and budget mobo manufacturers (which this one is, otherwise why use SiS) liked to omit the cache entirely to save money.

I'm getting flashbacks to playing Deus Ex at 16 fps.

>>61772650

I hear ya anon. I just remember being 14 and saving up birthday/chore money to buy myself a new 'modern' computer. It was a barebones K6-2 450 with this exact motherboard and case, and 64 MB RAM. I think it cost me like $400 at the time.

>>61769428

No, that's not me. That thread was somewhat enjoyable, this here is pure cringe.

>>61772639
Heat-abused GPUs tend to have delamination problems inside the package rather than cold or cracked joints at the PCB level. Baking them can work for a while but the "fix" eventually fails as thermal expansion works things apart again.

t. made some good cash on craigslist catering to the reball fad

>>61772814
It's too even to be discoloration and they were probably yellow to begin with. Colored PCI slots are a thing.

>>61772835
This literary depends though on so many things.
I've done my own laptop that worked over a year afterwards until I sold it.

>t. made some good cash on craigslist catering to the reball fad
I bought broken GPUs that where on sale for cheap (5€, 10€ etc) and if they worked I sold them for twenty fold profits usually, depending on the card. Most worked and those what didn't, didn't matter much in the big scale.

>>61772835
Meh I had about 60% luck with the baking the board with a dime on the GPU fixing it. One of them is still working to this day in fact.

Calm down, no need to get all defensive because you heard this "old" shit in "cool" and try this hard to fit in now.

>>61772952

It's an old virus protection for BIOS chips. IIRC it was implemented because of the CIH virus that literally burned out a shitload of computers back in the late 90s.

>>61772943
Cancer from what exactly? the oven doesn't gwt hot enough for solder to flow off the board, that would be counterproductive.

You're right... this one might not be the LAN version, but it's definitely got the headers for the other stuff. I was basing it off this listing:

In any case the vast majority of my misc parts are either boxed up or already at my storage shed in preparation for my move, so it looks like this will just have to sit as is for now.

Well, LGR is pretty much hipster trier.

>>61774241
VMs are terrible for older PC games. Especially with graphical glitches, mouse sensitivity problems and sometimes the mouse being locked to the right side of the screen.

I really enjoy some of the content in these threads. I'm pretty sure I have a problem. I can't seem to stop myself from hoarding and restoring old hardware.

So fuck it, here it goes...

>>61774374
Hes boring, lacks knowledge and ruins more then helps with his videos.
But to each their own I guess.

Nah anon, that's pretty normal.
Nothing to worry about.

>>61774406
Can you use all those monitors at once and if so, why didnt you when taking the picture?

>>61774444
Nice digits.
If he's going to do that, turn them on one by one and not all at once, else you're going to black out the whole block.

>>61774374
He's fine, of course some people will hate him, you can't please them all. Some people don't like him because he drives prices up for the rest of us.

I'm not speaking to his merits beyond the fact that he has 670k subscribers, which runs counter to all the naysayers who claim "nobody cares about this stuff".

150 MHz? are the clock multiplier jumpers properly set on the motherboard?

>>61774551

kek, no. this was the first boot after the reflow. Nothing had been set yet.

>>61774231
I wouldnt know.
I run linux + kvm so I dont have those issues.
Was sitting there playing gaymes from the early 2000s with no issue on win 7 with gpu pass thought

>>61774396
kvm runs a guest os without any lag.
pci passthough allows you to give complete control of a dedicated graphics card to the guest os.
usb passthough allows you to hand complete control of your mouse and keyboard to the vm. This will make the mouse handle just like it was plugged into bare hardware.
If a vm can handle vr games then it can handle a 90s game. The only issue I can think of may be windows 98 being unable to use a 1060 or something, just find a pcie graphics car that does support the older os and pass it though instead, youre buying old hardware anyway.

>>61774551
Maybe he likes to play it safe

>>61774556
It's true for most late 90's Win9x games onward.
Not true for anything mid 90's and before that though.

Also I guess actual Glide, A3D and EAX make it worth also for those games (the ones you can play in your VM too).

>>61774576
Yea different clock speeds and shit, good point.
Ill have to look up whether or not kvm can emulate different clock speeds. I know there is an option to pretend to be using a different cpu

>>61774595
I don't think so. You need a whole system/CPU emulator for that, like Qemu or DOSBox.

>>61774611
qemu uses kvm so I just say kvm instead of going full "if i can interject... kvm + qemu" mode

found this:
>e.g. cpulimit -l 5 -s qemu-system-i386 -cpu pentium -m 32 <iso> does emulate a Pentium 166MHz quite realistically

Im actually interested in this subject now, no so much playing the games but actually making them work correctly.
If you are setup for this, maybe you could run the command and see if a game functions correctly

>>61774629
>qemu uses kvm so I just say kvm instead of going full "if i can interject... kvm + qemu" mode
No. Qemu has also full system/CPU emulation, for several platforms and architectures.
You just said it also yourself right now.

Qemu itself has nothing to do with KVM, it's a fully standalone program.

>>61774629
>qemu uses kvm so I just say kvm instead of going full "if i can interject... kvm + qemu" mode

QEMU (short for Quick Emulator) is a free and open-source hosted hypervisor that performs hardware virtualization (not to be confused with hardware-assisted virtualization).

QEMU is a hosted virtual machine monitor: it emulates CPUs through dynamic binary translation and provides a set of device models, enabling it to run a variety of unmodified guest operating systems. It also can be used together with KVM in order to run virtual machines at near-native speed (requiring hardware virtualization extensions on x86 machines). QEMU can also do CPU emulation for user-level processes, allowing applications compiled for one architecture to run on another.

Learn something ever day.

>>61774680
>>61774713
Thank you for the information.
Ill read though everything again. Ive sat here this entire time thinking that qemu was just a wrapper for kvm that added some nice bells and whistles

>>61774737

Oh shit nice quads yo.

I they're all completely functional, and they all work with the machines on the rack. I couldn't have them on because I don't have enough outlets for the cords, I'm all out of power strips for now.

>>61774453

Actually they only draw about 500mA more than my flat screen LCD's. They draw about 2A each on 120v.

Initial startup takes the most power, running power is actually very low for CRTs (depending on size).

>>61774843
I'm only glad that kid didn't listen to the asshole hipsters telling him to take the keyboards and dump everything else. One more XT saved.

>>61774952
this. gamer fags are the worst

>>61774947
Gotcha, see I forgot to read about the "All at once" part. That would pop a few breakers LOL.

Sorry for being literally retarded, but how should i go about troubleshooting my dead eMac? When i press the power button nothing noticeable happens.

>>61775087
They are a bitch to work with.

>>61775087
It doesn't power on you mean? Could be a dead power supply. Powers on but doesn't do anything? Could be any problem under the sun. I'd tell you to open her up and check if theres anything wrong, like bulging or leaking capacitors

>>61775087
Trash it and go take a shit on Steve Jobs grave for the thanks of that abomination.

>>61775087
Explain. Pictures.
I used to have one. Dropped it on my foot when I was drunk, thank God I had shoes on.

>>61775268
Did you have metal tipped shoes when you were drunk? That thing weighs like 50 pounds.

>>61775466
I got really drunk messing with a emac. I videotaped myself spending 45 minutes swapping out the ram.

Last time I got drunk I installed msbob on my pentium MMX setup. I selected the launch on startup option and now I feel like I gave the computer an STD.

>>61775466
I didn't say it didn't hurt.

>>61775510
>Last time I got drunk I installed msbob on my pentium MMX setup.
stop drinking

topkek

>>61775131
Its the 1st one.
On the 1st try of pressing the power button, i hear the THOONG of it degaussing but nothing, not even fan movement. After that nothing happens at all, even if i remove power completely.
I visually checked caps, and there arent any that look puffed or burst, even on the down converter (listed in the apple troubleshooting chart i found)
I have a 2nd lower, but both the down converter and mobo have burst caps.

Seems it was the down converter, or the down converter just dieded. Something sparked over there this time. Oh well.

I tried the board with the popped cap just for keks and it fucking works

>>61775772
Change the caps between them.

>>61775788
I will once i into soldering and get some more parts i need to get it to full mediocreness.
Its weird though, that eMac went into storage working and that board was pulled from a dead machine and sat loose in a box for like 3 years.

I didn't remember CRTs looking so good. I had not really used one for ten or so years, and I sold my old CRTs a couple of years ago when I moved to a smaller apartment. I recently bought one that was made it the late 90's and it rivals my IPS screen in image quality, it's amazing. You guys probably use CRTs daily so this isn't that surprising for you.

>>61776336
>tfw I never thought they looked good because I lived next to high voltage power lines so the image was always wobbly
One hell of an eye-opener when I moved.
