Really impressive collections you have! I was one of the PC hardware enthusiasts back in my highschool years (2002 - 2006), and your collections bring back so much precise memory, especially that "cpu burning without fan" part - I was crazy about that video clip from tom´s hardware, fantastic to see somebody was recreating it :)
Its great to see this beautiful and awesome collection, my hearth got strong when i see the tomshardware simulation... Personally i have 2 retro dream builds: 2x1.4Ghz Tualatin P3-S + Server board with ddr1 and AGP, and second one is an socket 423 willamette build with 2GB Rambus + P4 2.0Ghz...
Info around my "THG" scenes. Pentium 4 My scene is without any edit. Clean demonstration with some FPS drops. Believe me - not easy to do it. I tried many resolutions and settings. Quake went down many times. Original THG video has edit every 4 seconds ... so you can think anything where is true. (nothing offensive) Athlon 1400 This is only fun of course. If you want to see smoke :-) Make your own video with your HW ... this CPU is quite rare these days. Still you can enjoy similar setups in HD quality.
I hosted a few LAN parties in my time and some unfortunate soul brought his XP1600 tower - the weight of the heatsink cracked the CPU when he shifted the case from horizontal to vertical...
Fantastic collection. I myself am a huge fan of classic air cooling, so seeing so many golden orbs and many others made me teary eyed. So many fantastic items....
Best collection i've ever seen. I'm trying to limit my collection to few completed builds so I sell unused components.Your collection is worth a fortune :D
Really awesome collection. I applaud you at keeping this stuff when most people throw it away to be forgotten. This is like a time capsule of the late 1990's through 2000's of computer hardware galore. I recognize some of this stuff just from remembering it from old PCGamer magazines. Beautiful hardware.
I want a room filled with PC parts just like this so I can look around and do shit, ya know? some people might want to build engines, but this takes the cake for me.
I have been 26 years on IT since build my first PC with Intel 386DX. Looking at your video, its like found a warehouse with a lost treasure, very awesome collection!
I think that there used to be a lot of different experimental styles for pc hardware, (colours, shapes, etc). Now it is either minamilist or super angular. Outside the box designs now are hard to find.
I had that drive bay cig lighter back in 2003. one day it shorted out and smokes coming out of my pc like hell. i unplug power cable and ran such a dangerous contraption
You should seriously create a museum! Imagine setting up different system sorted by performance and age and be able to compare it to a modern machine with games or benchmarks. Would be so cool. I would pay 35-45 bucks to play around in a place like that for a few hours.
When you have so many ram sticks you just weigh them in kilograms instead of counting them. How do you keep track of everything? Do you keep lists? Looking forward to future builds.
Просто потрясающе. Я всё видео сидел с отвисшей челюстью) Кстати, хорошо, что ты не сжёг тот Атлон). Prostě úžasné. Všechna videa jsem seděl s prohnutou čelistí) Mimochodem, je dobré, že jsi toho Athlona nespálil).
Nice collection dude! :) I also have a long history with pc hardware. My first processor was the 166Mhz Pentium MMX. I tested the jumpers' position by accident and overclocked it to 233mhz. After that, I had given a little finger to everything. AMD K6-2 500mhz -> Athlon XP 1800+ (Intel Pentium 4 2.6Ghz HT for a short time) -> Athlon 64 3200+ -> Intel Core 2 Duo -> AMD FX 6100 -> Ryzen 1700 -> Ryzen 2600X and the latest is now Ryzen 3600. There's even more story to tell about video cards, but that's not enough. I'll lift the hat for you! :)
7:30 at first I thought, oh, so it's the CPU's last frag? How sad. But then awwwww, you didn't burn it! Of course, with so much love for the retro hardware that the videos show, you wouldn't just destroy a working device.
Just 3 seconds shy of prue awesome footage of retro parts. Funny when I saw the the ram stackers for the older Pentium MB, I remember seeing them advertised in old computer shopper magazines(back when they were so thick they could compete with Unix books) it's awesome to know someone does own a few of such neat/odd hardware from the past. Thank you for the video👍.
it's an "audiophile" motherboard. ...Really. And I wonder why there's only one, maybe for mono sound... But I recall a modern motherboard that had a couple of valves as a replacement of power regulation MOSFET/voltage regulation stage for an AMD Opteron 8-core. it did get the job done. Even my Tyan with dual opteron took a few seconds before bios screen to get all the caps loaded since it ate hundreds of watts.
@@OsmosisHD I'm starting to get how these things were designed, actually operates pretty much like ICs or op-amps, where you need a galaxy of caps/resistors around your transistor to amplify, this is something else. Still it's really for the branding. My monitor, an excellent HP LP2475w managed to get his PSU fried. Been looking for a proper Schottky diode (regulator) and a tube almost would do the job. It just warms up and reaches the right voltage too slowly the system refused to even power. I finally ordered a schottky diode and wait.
Pha Q it's not that interesting, just a gimmick on the sound output stage, a quick Google search will get you all the info, no need for videos, much less any depth as there simply is none.
Don't worry about the length or quality, it was an excellent slice of nostalgia. Didn't keep any of my older stuff I think 939AMD is the oldest thing I have, though started P.c wise with Slot A AMD rival to Pent 3, I loved my time with that, seemed to last for years before it needed to be replaced.
I'm very jealous of your collection! I wish I had the space and patience to build a collection, is that a cigarette lighter on the front panel of the first computer? I know your channel will blow up soon enough, 100k will be here before you know it.
OMG, what a collection!!, i was in total awe at seeing almost all of the items here, nostalgia rabbit hole!. DFI Lanparty boards kicked ass both in performance and it's sexy looks, i had one way back then lanparty nf2 ultra :), sadly amd socket A (462), but i sure did the pencil trick on my athlon xp. Thank you for sharing this epic collection.
Yea, I had socket 754 one. It was so ultimate and original, I couldn't sell it for long, was on that platform like 2 years longer, that was healthy, and could not switch to socket 775, just because of lanparty motherboard. If they would continue to doing them, I would switch to socket 775 immidiately. 939 one was draem thought, who had DFI lanparty NF4, with Athlon64 3000+ overclocked to high planes, could be happy.
Some of the motherboards and other retro enthusiast level hardware you got will easy sell for 500 - 700 $ now and 1000$ in the near future. Amazing stuff
i admire everything you post and collect, you help me figure out what Parts i wanna put together with the small collection of Old Retro hardware that i have.
What a wonderful (and massive!) collection. I very clearly remember the infamous Tom's video you referenced, after Intel added thermal throttling, and I loved your take on it. Nicely done.

man you're crazy. I was in heaven for those 30 minutes. Greetings from Poland
Absolutely amazing collection,man those sets of unusual RAM modules are really an eye opener,gotta love that LED display on Corsair XPERT modules.
Fantastic collection. I myself am a huge fan of classic air cooling, so seeing so many golden orbs and many others made me teary eyed. So many fantastic items....
I'd almost forgotten all the crazy RAM coolers OCZ produced over the years until they went out of business
It was great, unique time. Thanks for memories 😭
Best collection i've ever seen. I'm trying to limit my collection to few completed builds so I sell unused components.Your collection is worth a fortune :D
OMG best collection, hey do you open museum ?
This channel is already a museum all-right. Just make more videos :) The benefit is that we don't have to drive anywhere to visit!
this museum channel is open 24/7
I wish I had your collection. You can literally make a museum of PC parts over the years.
seeing this makes me regret selling my old stuff in the past... lovely collection :)

here is some extra for this scene:

Here's to another 20 years of collecting! I still need to expand my Precision collection but finding high-end old school models is hard.
17:22 seeing all those matching PCBs is as satisfying as finally getting a good matching set of armour in Diablo 2!
Best 25min 56sec i've ever spent on a youtube video. Only love reaction for this amazing collection!
This is what absolute happiness looks like!!!
I never thought I would see another aero, blower style heatsink again. Socket 462 was the jam
yooo,A Glow in the dark Motherboard 🤯
Freakin' Awesome,
You're an electronic historian.
No wonder retro stuff is getting scarce... you have it all all at your house :D
I want a room filled with PC parts just like this so I can look around and do shit, ya know?
some people might want to build engines, but this takes the cake for me.
My God, I miss the '90s..
They were nice and good days..
Because of you I went to get my old computer and install Quake.
I have been 26 years on IT since build my first PC with Intel 386DX.
Looking at your video, its like found a warehouse with a lost treasure, very awesome collection!
its crazy to see the different design philosophy
I don't know what to say.
So much cool old and rare Hardware i've never seen.
I liked it so much. Especially the coolers and Mainboards.
This is like a huge investment, the value of this hardware will only raise
I think that there used to be a lot of different experimental styles for pc hardware, (colours, shapes, etc). Now it is either minamilist or super angular. Outside the box designs now are hard to find.
I had that drive bay cig lighter back in 2003. one day it shorted out and smokes coming out of my pc like hell.
i unplug power cable and ran
such a dangerous contraption

No lists. 90% I have in my brain and 10% exploring by accident again an again :-)
Thanks for sharing this amazing collection. Looks like you will never run out of content for your channel with all that stuff.
Special thanks for not burning your Athlon like in that video!)) Great video!
