Nov. 23rd, 2010 09:09 pmI think I've accumulated far too much random hardware over the years. While searching for a PCI IDE card for a friend, I found the following:
- A pair of thick 2.5" IDE hard disks (maybe 1GB each?)
- A thinner 2.5" IDE hard disk
- Three 3.5" IDE hard disks (smallest is 4GB - remember, that used to be massive)
- A bag of SIMMs
- A bag of DIMMs, plus a SO-DIMM or two
- An ISA sound card
- An ISA voice modem (those were the days...)
- A PCI graphics card (I used to use that for a second monitor)
- A couple of AGP graphics cards
- A PCI sound card
- An AMD Duron, probably a Duron 800
- A small PLCC form factor chip with a "P=" foil sticker on it (no idea what it's far, but it was removed from an old motherboard before binning the computer)
- Netgear WG602v2 wireless access point
- Netgear DG834Gv2 ADSL router
- Netgear WGE101 wireless bridge
- KVM switch (not a Belkin, and so actually works properly)
- Processor upgrade kit (originally for a Pentium 133Mhz system)
- And the PCI IDE card I was looking for
And that's just in the two crates I searched in! I swear, they breed when you're not looking.
