Memories! The first computer I ever self-built was a Socket A AMD 3200+ (I think) with 1gb of RAM. I wish I had a screenshot of the system specs.

vettnerk,

I for one like these builds. Partially because I had a similar one myself (Although I went straight from Socket 7 to Socket A… never had a Slot CPU in my life.), but also because the same reason why older car engines look cooler than those feom today: When I see under the hood or in a modern computer case, all I see is plastic covers.

Besides, cable management with PAATA cables was no easy feat.

boggsman,

Thanks ❤️ I agree. I love socket A also.

SpaceNoodle,

I think the '90s might be retro now, though this barely squeaks by.

tmjaea,

What are the two big interconnected extension cards for?

SeaJ,

I’m going to guess that is a couple Voodoo2s in SLI.

boggsman,

3dfx Voodoo2 SLI

Wow, I remember those. You’ll need to see if you can find a Gold Finger Device so you can overclock it. They were little daughter boards with DIP switches that let you set the multiplier.

boggsman,

I actually have one. I tried it on my 900MHz processor and could only reach 950MHz. I don’t want to crack open the 1GHz cpu 😀
