I'd almost forgotten all the crazy RAM coolers OCZ produced over the years until they went out of business

man you're crazy. I was in heaven for those 30 minutes. Greetings from Poland

Its great to see this beautiful and awesome collection, my hearth got strong when i see the tomshardware simulation... Personally i have 2 retro dream builds: 2x1.4Ghz Tualatin P3-S + Server board with ddr1 and AGP, and second one is an socket 423 willamette build with 2GB Rambus + P4 2.0Ghz...

Really impressive collections you have! I was one of the PC hardware enthusiasts back in my highschool years (2002 - 2006), and your collections bring back so much precise memory, especially that "cpu burning without fan" part - I was crazy about that video clip from tom´s hardware, fantastic to see somebody was recreating it :)

Absolutely amazing collection,man those sets of unusual RAM modules are really an eye opener,gotta love that LED display on Corsair XPERT modules.

Freakin' Awesome, You're an electronic historian.

Info around my "THG" scenes. Pentium 4 My scene is without any edit. Clean demonstration with some FPS drops. Believe me - not easy to do it. I tried many resolutions and settings. Quake went down many times. Original THG video has edit every 4 seconds ... so you can think anything where is true. (nothing offensive) Athlon 1400 This is only fun of course. If you want to see smoke :-) Make your own video with your HW ... this CPU is quite rare these days. Still you can enjoy similar setups in HD quality.

Fantastic collection. I myself am a huge fan of classic air cooling, so seeing so many golden orbs and many others made me teary eyed. So many fantastic items....

Go 100.000 you is awesome!

Really awesome collection. I applaud you at keeping this stuff when most people throw it away to be forgotten. This is like a time capsule of the late 1990's through 2000's of computer hardware galore. I recognize some of this stuff just from remembering it from old PCGamer magazines. Beautiful hardware.

Best 25min 56sec i've ever spent on a youtube video. Only love reaction for this amazing collection!

I wish I had your collection. You can literally make a museum of PC parts over the years.

17:22 seeing all those matching PCBs is as satisfying as finally getting a good matching set of armour in Diablo 2!

I never thought I would see another aero, blower style heatsink again. Socket 462 was the jam

Thanks for sharing this amazing collection. Looks like you will never run out of content for your channel with all that stuff.

Some of our computing history saved from the rubbish/garbage/recycling centre!!! Awesome channel!

My God, I miss the '90s.. They were nice and good days..

I want a room filled with PC parts just like this so I can look around and do shit, ya know? some people might want to build engines, but this takes the cake for me.

Thank you for sharing your collection with us! So much hardware.

My jaw just dropped , and it wouldn't go back into place. WOW! Your collection is the king of all others.

Here's to another 20 years of collecting! I still need to expand my Precision collection but finding high-end old school models is hard.

Просто потрясающе. Я всё видео сидел с отвисшей челюстью) Кстати, хорошо, что ты не сжёг тот Атлон). Prostě úžasné. Všechna videa jsem seděl s prohnutou čelistí) Mimochodem, je dobré, že jsi toho Athlona nespálil).

Great video, those parts brought back a lot of memories for me.

fantastic. takes me back in time to the most beautiful years. good, great.

What a fantastic collection, I'm so jealous! You had me scared with the Athlon and the Tom's Hardware reenactment :P.

Because of you I went to get my old computer and install Quake.

What a wonderful (and massive!) collection. I very clearly remember the infamous Tom's video you referenced, after Intel added thermal throttling, and I loved your take on it. Nicely done.

its so cool looking at all the old tech from then to now, thanks for sharing! really neat to watch

Special thanks for not burning your Athlon like in that video!)) Great video!

7:30 at first I thought, oh, so it's the CPU's last frag? How sad. But then awwwww, you didn't burn it! Of course, with so much love for the retro hardware that the videos show, you wouldn't just destroy a working device.

Nice collection dude! :) I also have a long history with pc hardware. My first processor was the 166Mhz Pentium MMX. I tested the jumpers' position by accident and overclocked it to 233mhz. After that, I had given a little finger to everything. AMD K6-2 500mhz -> Athlon XP 1800+ (Intel Pentium 4 2.6Ghz HT for a short time) -> Athlon 64 3200+ -> Intel Core 2 Duo -> AMD FX 6100 -> Ryzen 1700 -> Ryzen 2600X and the latest is now Ryzen 3600. There's even more story to tell about video cards, but that's not enough. I'll lift the hat for you! :)

Some informations and facts about me/channel. ****************************************************************************************************** ABOUT ME Me, Joe, HW collector from Czech republic, Europe. My work is in industry (absolut out off computers). Collecting and playing with HW is only my hobby. CHANNEL I started this channel without any ambicions, goals, just for fun. Still it is fun and will be fun. 12/2017 registration 01/2018 I bought second hand camera on ebay 01/2018 after few first scenes I made ... wth? I need to learn edit them :-))) 01/2018 learning video edit from YT tutorials (thanks to all guys which made them) So my edit is very simple. 03/2018 first videos :-) I felt like "wth I‘am doing here with this bad work" But let‘s see what guys tell me :-) VIDEOS Videos are like documents for me with some interaction with you. Yeah my english is level 0, my voice is bad, I know it from the beginning :-) I don‘t like commenting at all. I like action. STYLE and POINT So usually style is: START-THIS-THAT-BANG-BANG-BANG-END-SEE YA You can/will see builds, unpacking, overclocking, tests and sometimes random things. If you found any mistake, don‘t afraid and make comment (you donkey with this or that in time x:xx). Next time I can do better job / other guys can learn too. MUSIC IN VIDEOS After problems because copyrights (not only me but lot of guys on YT) KZread made own music library. Yes this music is not best but I like theme music. COLLECTION What you saw/see/will see in my hands (sometimes both left) is mine. Simply result if you collecting over 20 years. Everything has +/-. Minus is place - 4 full rooms of old scrap. Sometimes you have to enter container like homeless etc. :-) WHERE DO YOU GOT ALL THIS Simply all ways you know. Auctions, pick ups ... lot of luck, patience and time. Seriously I hit "gold times" maybe ten years ago when 80% of people sending all this stuff to hell. I was hoarding for few bucks. The most expensive thing for me was/is POSTAGE :-) I can‘t spend xxx€ for one item - I‘am limited with money all my life. SELL/BUY Sorry nothing for sale, I‘am not doing deals. This is not marketplace. DONATIONS 100x thanks for offers. But I‘am not accepting any donations. Believe me - I‘am OK. You can support lot of other channels (Phil, Timmy, Pixel, Victor etc.) around all planet. They making unpacking videos from donations and will be happy. Simply watch and enjoy my home-amateur entertaiment videos. Of course give me One million likes, one million sharing, one million everything :-) Thanks a lot I also thank to Victor Bart who recommended me in his FB group and Timmy Joe which made video about me.

it's an "audiophile" motherboard. ...Really. And I wonder why there's only one, maybe for mono sound... But I recall a modern motherboard that had a couple of valves as a replacement of power regulation MOSFET/voltage regulation stage for an AMD Opteron 8-core. it did get the job done. Even my Tyan with dual opteron took a few seconds before bios screen to get all the caps loaded since it ate hundreds of watts.

@@OsmosisHD I'm starting to get how these things were designed, actually operates pretty much like ICs or op-amps, where you need a galaxy of caps/resistors around your transistor to amplify, this is something else. Still it's really for the branding. My monitor, an excellent HP LP2475w managed to get his PSU fried. Been looking for a proper Schottky diode (regulator) and a tube almost would do the job. It just warms up and reaches the right voltage too slowly the system refused to even power. I finally ordered a schottky diode and wait.
