I'd like some input about what you guys would consider as to be retro as far as PC hardware goes.
Got only s939 DFI LanParty (woot my fav board ever) and M4A785G for sAM2+. Both are good boards, never seen chilled temps and may keep it that way even though I always get that stupid itch.
So I do have an Opteron 170 http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K8/AMD-Dual-Core Opteron 170 - OSA170DAA6CD (OSA170CDBOX).html
Dual core Denmark. No idea how it'll clock up, it's never been posted up yet.
Or AM2+ I have a 6000+ and 6400+ and 3400+ and 3500+ ect... or should I find a Phenom I Agena and call that retro enough. I'd like to stay cheap as heck on the Cpu if needing to buy one.
Going to stuff this into a TJ07 case. A couple of Samsung SSDs so it can be snappy.
8GB GEIL DDR2-800 and I'm not sure what DDR1 I have. G Skill I thinks....
Going to likely use my liquid cooled GTX 480 BUT do have 8800 Ultras at my brother house. Need advice there. Those Ultras are Ultra HOT and Ultra OLD! Maybe stick with the 480 huh?
My case is not really retro, but that's what I have and I like it, but how can I make it look retro? I've never done decals or anything like that. Used to play CSS and HL2 a lot. UT and so on. What would be a cool scheme? Deep Metallic Blue paint I was thinking, but I'm open to suggestions. There's tons of case surface area to work with!!!
