🖥️ i super lucked into getting a CIB Logitech G15 keyboard so I'm not going out of my way to snag a dream mouse. Most likely just grabbing an Intellimouse, keeping watch for an aqua mouse, and if i find a neat razer/logitech one in the wild i'll snap it up.

🖥️ Got the new mobo in and tested a quick lil turn on with the old PSU and it works! Done for now until next week when I get the new PSU and a SATA HDD, then I'm all set for XP & booting it up! Wishlist rn is an IO shield and the matching Soundblaster front IO drive, it looks so beautiful 😍

🖥️ Have some anti static bags getting here today so i can properly store all these spare parts & index them instead of have them scattered around the room. at that point im gonna build up the new mobo in the case so all i'll need to do is put whatever new parts in next week & im set!
#1 Ran Kotobuki Appreciator (@poobisok.bsky.social)
computer update 🖥️ the mobo that was being used is clearly earlier on in SATA taking over, it has 3 IDE ports and 4 SATA ports. The one I'm swapping to has 1 IDE port and 6 SATA ports. There's 2 DVD/CD drives and one 80GB HDD that are SATA only. So either I'm getting adapters or upgrading HDD!

learned that the new mobo (last pic) supports the 6000 series core2duo but NOT the 8000 series. there's not too much of a difference between the c2d E8400 i have & the core2quad Q6600 on the mobo, thankfully! So I'll just use the core2quad and keep the e8400 for a later project.

I do now have an LGA775 chip set mobo that while it is too early to be a real good late xp gaming system mobo I could scrounge up a 98 build or whatever earlier I want with this tbh. Need to figure out the parts in here and keep a ledger of parts. And tons of various ram kits!
#1 Ran Kotobuki Appreciator (@poobisok.bsky.social)
I've got the old system mostly gutted yesterday. Learned this morning I do need the mobo I bought to use the core2duo, so I'll be swapping that over. Thankfully that gives me an excuse to airdust the system. Now we're just waiting on paycheck for the psu and we're set!!

I'm loving the top mounted PSU it's so fun. The temp reader on the front is fantastic. I can take the ram out of this mobo and move it to mine (wild that a windows xp build even has 8gb ram!!). Looking into the rest of the cards to see What's Gucci
