My old Computers

pictures of computers I used before...



Dual P3 1Ghz - Watercooled

 

 

Geforce 2 GTS 64MB - Overclocked , with home made golden heatsinks on RAM on both front...

...and back

 

Geforce 3 Ti-500 + Modified with huge green heatsink on GPU

 

...and a temp sensor on the back

 

Early version of DC-DC voltage regulator (partially linear) for PC-In-Car project

 

 

Home made water reservoir with pump:

 made of 11mm acrylics , the electronics on the bottom is just a reflection of an ancient IBM token-ring card that hangs on the wall above the tank..

Home made water reservoir, air sealed.  
Filled with Water  , I mean *water* , pure H2O from a hospital's laboratory , not the water that people gets "dripped" with , this water contains no salt , no minerals , nothing. I have been running it for months , there was no sign of any "life" in it , it's perfectly pure , both the surface and the walls of reservoir are perfectly clean. cleaned with acetone before sealing.
(the white stuff you see above waterline is reflections of hundreds perfectly round small drops of water that have condensed because of temperature difference.)

Thanks goes to Ulf who provided the H2O.
 

 

Dual P3 1Ghz , air-cooled.

 

 

DUAL P3 500Mhz , once this was an incredible computer !

 

9x120GB


Dual P3 500Mhz with 512kB L2 Cache per CPU:

..my third computer, 2 tape devices CD , 3 HD's - everything is SCSI


is 1.3TB enough ?  (not anymore - this is OLD-stuff)

hardware 12-port RAID controller: 3Ware 7500-12 with 12 120GB drives.

The drive-case is made of 11mm acrylics and is now a part of the Chieftec tower, there is room for 12 drives.

There's a hole in the bottom of the tower, so all cables can go stright thru.
The cables are home made, extra-short with 2 connectors only.

and finally a picture with the front mounted , two  12cm fans keep the drives cool.. ... (and, on this picture, all 12 drives running)


Old home-built SCSI CD-Tower - Some of you may recognize the old NEC 3xi  players, using caddy - pretty expensive equipment at that time.
