Just cleaned out mt garage, closet, and attic. No clue why I kept every single box of anything electronic/tech based in the last ten years. I just tossed boxes for phones I haven’t had in years, old CPU and heat sync boxes, boxes for 100mbps nics, old modems I don’t have anymore. I’ve never needed any of these and have brought them with me through too many house moves.
Well, I for one am sad I threw out my 90s hardware years ago, including things like a Voodoo 2, Voodoo 3, AWE32, AWE64, SB16 … those things are really hard to find nowadays if you want to build a retro PC.
Retro PC…is that a thing?
Yes. !retrocomputing@lemmy.sdf.org is a good community. SDF.org is worth looking at, as the community there predates the internet.
Of course it is. It’s fun to rebuild the computer of your youth, and run old games on periodically correct hardware.
