WTB: Vintage Computer Hardware, Apple, etc

[kvanderlaag]

I have the unfortunate distinction of being both incredibly nostalgic, and interested in computers. More specifically, the history of computing. As such, I'm looking for any of the following:

- 8086/8088-family computers
- 286/386-family computers (preferably DX rather than SX processors)
- ISA expansion cards (video, audio, etc)
- Old, lower-capacity hard drives
- 5.25" floppy drives
- 5.25" and 3.5" floppy media
- 486-family hardware. CPUs, motherboards, etc.
- 30-pin and 72-pin RAM SIMMs.
- Motorola 68000 powered Apples. (Macintosh, Mac Plus, Mac SE, SE/30, etc)
- PowerPC Apple Hardware (pre-G3)
- Apple II-era hardware
- Monochrome CRT monitors
- AT (not ATX) system cases and power supplies
- Commodore 64 accessories and software
- Amiga systems and stuff. (Long shot, but hey)
- PCI 3D Accelerator cards - 3dfx, Nvidia. Voodoo 2s would be awesome, Voodoo 3s would be cool too

And so on, and so forth.

Basically, if it's old and taking up space in your basement/garage/attic/whatever, or if you're a vintage computing enthusiast looking to thin their collection, let me know!

Thanks!

Added a request for Commodore stuff.

Added a request for PCI 3D cards

i dont know what any of that is.... but i have some possible old computer stuff laying around... depends on what you would classify old as.... 1995... or more like 1985?

[kvanderlaag]

Moreso on the 1985 end of things, but if you've got a pile of stuff from ~1995 lying around, I'd be interested to know what's there.

[kvanderlaag]

Givin' it a bump - a couple hours early, I hope the mods don't mind.

I'd REALLY like a smaller (9-14") monochrome CRT.

[kvanderlaag]

Bump. Looking for some PCI 3D accelerators!

Too bad you didn't have this a few months ago. I was hoping someone would snag up an old 286 with that 5.25 floppy! hahaha I was originally just going to keep it and make it a solid Commander Keen machine, but the fans were noise as hell, and the 13" monitor used to get crazy hot after about 5 hours. LOL it had windows 3.1!

CURSES!

I threw out a pile of Voodoo 2's, Voodoo 3's, really really old HDDs (largest was 50MB) etc...

[kvanderlaag]

You guys are killing me!

[Phuqu]

I've got a C64 in the original box with all manuals, etc..

I also have the modem to go with it. Not sure if it's 300 Baud or 1200 Baud.

Bought it on a whim. Never really used it.

le bump.

[clem24]

Need a Pentium Pro 200?

I have an old Microsoft two-button mouse that's made in the USA. Late-80s era I think.

Might also have a Bernoulli 90 MB cartridge, an Apple Lisa keyboard and a PC game in the basement somewhere.

Also have an analog pay TV descrambler from the late-80s if you're interested.

I know you don't want any G3 stuff, but I do have an old Powermac G3 that has a ATI Rage 128 PCI card in it, not much ram (but I think I got loads of SD ram sticks still.

I also got an old AMD K6-2 500mhz PC that I'm currently turning into a linux box, but may sell, it comes with 3x 128mb SD ram (think there PC-133) also a Creative Sound Blaster Platinum with the bay controller unit, a 52x cd rom, a kick ass floppy drive, and a Voodoo3 3000 graphics card, also comes with a standard network card (10/100) a 56k modem (not plugged in right now) and a Belkin wireless G network card, I might let this go at the right price, but I'm kinda attached to it as its my 12 year old computer (has changed a bit over time) and still running strong without any hardware issues, this is housed in a cheapo looking powermac g3 style ATX case just so you know, all the HDD I have though are not old, I MAY have an old 200mb drive kicking around, think I have an old TV tuner as well as some other network cards, I know I had about 20 SD Ram modules (dunno if I still have).

Also have an old AMD Athlon-M 2200 cpu, but not 100 sure it works, and not exactly "vintage".
