The Dayton Hamvention has brought some great computer Goodness to me. Let me count the ways...
- For only $5 I picked up a K6-2 300 and baby ATX mobo with 2 sticks of SDRAM
- For only $2 I picked up a geForce2 MX and for another $2 a CL PCI128 4 channel sound card
- For only $5 I picked up a TV, FM, S/Video, and Composite input card
There are other good prizes, but those are the biggies. I had a lot of fun wandering about, and it was just plain goodness. I also acquired a XP 3000+ to replace my fried CPU.
I saw, for the first time, a motherboard with a directly mounted processor. It was a XP3100+ with AGP and 2 PCI slots, integrated assortments, and 2 DDR400 slots. The price: $109. And yes, this was the little Indian man who doesn't understand the principle of sales tax.
I am going to have lots of fun projects to work on when I get home. The only problem will be finding the time to do any of them.
