No.

 

[CrackRabbit]

The Only thing I still have is the original CPU from my first computer. A 486 SX-33.

 

[meltdown75]

Yes, and it is all very poorly organized and I get nagged about it on a weekly basis.

PS: If you're reading this, I love you honey!

I took one of these and modded it to have:

-Pentium 4 2.8
-Intel 865Perl mobo
-DVD/RW with black 5 1/4" floppy face plate stealthed on front
-A few other things I can't recall a.t.m.

I'll get some pics up soon.

As for the Voodoo, my friend still has dedicated Voodoo boxes just for old Unreal and Quake. He has the top of the line for his main pc always, but never gets rid of the Voodoo boxes.

 

[Zap Brannigan]

I have a GeForce 256. Also some strange PCI graphics card circa 1996 I recently bought for troubleshooting.

 

[Toastedlightly]

I have a voodoo 2 2000... a Slot A athlon (not in a system...) yea...

 

[Schadenfroh]

i still have 2 voodoo5 5500 AGPs

 

[TallBill]

nope, sell it or give it to family as soon as i get new stuff... used to pack rat stuff but realized that it wasn't worth it.

Ancient antiques I usually don't keep, unless it was a piece of history. I would have kept a V5, if I had one.

It would depend. If it was about 2-3 yrs old and i didnt think i could use it, but was still worth a few bucks, then i'd sell it. However, if it's about 1 year old an i may use later i'd keep, as would i if it was 4-5 yrs old and not worth anything.

 

[Kenji4861]

haha, I sell them ASAP, but my brother is the type that keeps EVERYTHING for sentimental value. He has a 32" LCD TV, but keeps his 15-17" TV sitting on the side. Told him to sell it, he won't.
