I'm looking to buy a working pair of AMD FX-74 processors please! No cooler or anything else is necessary; I only need the processors. I'd listen if you happen only have one of them, too. EDIT: Would also consider FX-70 and FX-72 pairs My new project is to get a Quad FX system up and...

Hello! I'm looking for a Dell Dimension XPS case of a specific era. I'm looking for the one from the mid/late 90s that was used for the XPS D series: D233 / D266 / D300 / D333 Compared to other Dimension XPS cases, it's a beige case distinguished by two vertical stacks of horizontal vent...

Hey guys. Sorry for the bump, but I wanted to announce that I am selling this machine, if you're near Chicago. The motherboard can easily be swapped out with any MicroATX of your choosing, and the CPU water block is compatible with most Intel & AMD sockets (full list here) Here are the specs...

Sorry for the massive delay. The project is finished now! I recommend visiting audio.toddkumpf.com for higher res and many more photos & info, but here are some selects below. There's also a video of it in action on the site. I guess the wood is thick and sturdy enough to absorb most of...

I definitely hear you guys in regards to the vibrations. That thought has certainly been in my mind. In a couple days time I'll be doing the first fully powered test. I'm prepared to modify the turntable mounting with some kind of vibration resistant feet, and/or installing some kind of sound...

Borrowed a Canon 5D from work this weekend and took some shots of the progress. These are mostly just beauty shots, rather than documentation of new progress. A few new shots though. Got pretty much everything wired up: all the input and output switches are good to go, and built the back...

Hah well that is indeed a concern, but I did a test in the very beginning with the record player literally sitting on top of the subwoofer, along with multiple speakers surrounding it, and it seemed ok. Hopefully that holds true through to the final assembly. The sub has an independent volume...

Just a couple of pics of the completed and functional turntable: Testing, hooked up to ye 'ol Yamaha CA-2010. And here's a sneak peek of what all the power cords will look like. The power strip for all 6 of the powered devices is exposed at the back of the case. I'm...

YES! Progress! Finally it's taking shape. This weekend I set a goal to do a test fit of all electrical components, making as many of them permanent as possible. There's a ton of wiring I need to do, for all the front switches and such, so the sooner I can get everything mounted permanently in...

October 2013 Update: PROJECT COMPLETE! View Page 2 for final images, AND visit audio.toddkumpf.com for a video and even more photos & info about each aspect of the project. ---------------------------------- (Original build log below) ---------------------------------- This has been in...

'bout time somebody makes a 1:1 Chicago game! I've been waiting for Rockstar to do it for many years.

Sorry for the delay in response. Haha I was going to refer you to my screenshot of all the games, but just realized I never posted an up to date version! Here's what I've got so far, arranged roughly in the order of newest to oldest (manually arranging them is unreliable, so I used "FileDate...

Very cool project! Sounds like fun, looking good. I saw you mention USB controller ports; are you planning on using modern USB NES controllers or are you keeping the classic NES ports? RetroUSB sells some nice adapters and also a DIY kit, if you're interested in keeping those original NES ports...

haha thanks. Indeed the Apple case is old, however I forgot to mention the Sony CDU571 I put inside is actually from the correct time period. 1998 or so, judging by my brief research. I just love the Apple encasement because it is classic and legendary! Plus, comparing the width of 5.25"...

And now, to finish this controller panel. Got the N64 ports in the mail from RetroUSB. They are shaped like miniature N64 consoles! They're so cute I almost don't even want to take them apart.... ...too bad: Added them to my panel: And there she is! Bought a cheap...
