Clearing out my flat and found a bunch of old gear that was left by a former flat mate. No idea what it's like or if it's even worth keeping... So far identified: PPentium D 3ghz Geforce 9800gt, 512mb with vga, dvi and hdmi output. (plus a motherboard for those two) Also a boxed gigabyte h61ma-d2v mobo, appears to be micro Atx and for Intel core chips. Plus another tower that I haven't opened yet. ▪ ┌────┐ ┌────┐ │ │ │ │ ▪ │ └────┘ │ │ ──┐ ┌── │ ▪ ┌──────┤ ▪ ▪ │ ┌┘ │ │ ▪ ┌─┤ └──┐ │ │ ┌──┘ │ │ │ ││ ││ │ ┌─┐ │ │ └─┼┤ └┴─┴───┘ │ │ │ ─┘│ │ │ │ ┌──────┐ └┬──────────┘ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ └───┘ └───┘ If Feds call you and say something bad on me, it may prove what I said are truth, they are afraid of it.

Other tower appears to be a Dell dimensions 5000 with some kind of unidentified p4 and an Asus graphics card that's maybe an 8500gt.

Unfortunately, a "PPentium D 3ghz" is worth fuck all. If, however, it was a 'Pentium D 3ghz' it would be worth Steve Manthorp travelling to north-of-the-border in order to shag your bum. Thank heavens for the additional 'P', eh? bastard by name bastard by nature

As my TVs are only 720p I might get away with running some games on the 9800. Coupled with an i5 in that mobo and some rams and a cheap htpc case I may have a funky little movie and old games box.

I don't like the power figures for the pentium D - well over 100 watts!

Got me an Atari 2600 emulator and what seems like the entire back catalogue of games. :D I tried MAME in the past for all the 2d fighters, I used to be into them in a big way about 8 years ago. If nothing else it helped confirm that King of Fighters is a shit franchise. Drawings n' that

Put a load of it on eBay will see what I get back for it. Keeping the 9800GT and the new mobo, may be useful.

I love the slogans companies put on these things usually promising way more than they can deliver, or will only be relevant for a short period of time. Guess it serves a purpose at shifting units though. The box has: "the ultimate games console!!!!rar!e2£$"!!!" emblazoned on it in what looks like times new roman (fail) Drawings n' that
