Hi Folks!
I'm happy to present you my latest system so far. It's still WIP as the final GFX card is missing and the BIOS needs to be updated to support 45nm CPUs (which isn't that easy cuz I always get a "WRONG FILESIZE"-error).

CPU: Intel Core2Duo E6850 @ 3.0 GHz w/ Zalman ZF9225ATH Cooler

RAM 2&4: 2x1 GB Patriot DDR2 RAM @ 800 MHz (5-5-5-15 CL2 @ 2.10 V)
Sound: onboard
FDD: ALPS 3,5" Floppydrive

thx guys.
my collection is not as big as I wish it would be, but I keep on collecting whatever I can get my hands on.
we don't have thrift shops nearby and people don't throw out their stuff like they do in other countries.
and don't try to get some good old stuff from the junkyard, all you get is a unfriendy "keep ya fu... hands of that stuff!"
