in computer tech class, i just found a spare motherboard lying around and decided to build something out of it. it's an old server board running dual SEC slots for pentium II or pentium III processors, 4 DIMM slots supporting up to 1 GB SDRAM. it has 3 SCSI channels, 2 IDE channels and 1 FDD channel. no integrated video, no integrated sound, no integrated network. all it has as far as I/O goes is keyboard and mouse ps/2 ports, 4 USB 1.1 ports, 2 serial comm ports and 1 parallel printer port.
the current setup is like this:
dual pentium II at 400 MHz each,
512 MB SDRAM
18 GB, 7200 RPM SCSI hard drive,
300 watt fortron power supply,
16 MB nvidia TNT2 video on AGP 2x interface,
cheap 16-bit sound card,
10/100 network card.
that's the setup. all out of parts around that tech room.
if the BIOS has any overclocking features, i'll probably try overclocking it.
it's in the middle of a winXP pro install right now.
so once i get everything running i'll report as to how it's going. and i might even post some pictures, just for the hell of it.
i had a computer set up in the back of the tech room for me and a few of my friends to use. that one was a 500 MHz pentium III (if we can find another pentium III of the same speed, we'll be putting those in the dually) with 384 MB SDRAM. it eventually was affectionately nick-named "the assboat." now i'm using the RAM from the OG assboat and building the "assboat 2."
i'll get some pictures of both setups and post them later on.
