Pre-release for this week's video: The Salvage Operation!
🕑 Added 2023-07-21 02:26:48 +0000 UTCThis video is slightly different. These are some of the systems that are missing parts or otherwise damaged, so I wanted to see which parts were salvageable. Was going for a simpler project this week to save time, with the goal of getting a head-start on next week's video. However, it seems I'm totally incapable of doing that because I got a little carried away on this one - five systems! Glad I did though, this adventure yielded some good stuff.
The reason I was trying to get a jump on next week's video is I'm going to Atlanta for VCF Southeast, then I'm off to the west coast for my first actual vacation in two years. I might try to hit VCF West while I'm there. Are any of you planning to attend either event?
Hope you like the video!

Oh boy... I'd love to have either of those boards! That would make a great video as a companion for the ABIT KT7A-RAID, since these are some seldom-seen boards. I do have a PO box, will send you a message. Thanks so much!

Yup, that appears to be the BIOS update. The latest one on The Retro Web is marked 1008 but appears to be a beta release. Can you tell what date the copy you have was released? Might be worth uploading: https://theretroweb.com/motherboards/s/asus-a7m266#downloads

If you ever get a post office box/mail drop address I can hook you up with a dual-y Athlon. For reasons lost to history I own 2 x MSI K7D and 2 x Chaintech 7KDDs.

I have an A7M266, but for the life of me can't remember which processor I have in there; I will have to check. I am sure I have the manual and probably CD for it. I also have a downloaded file named "1008a2662b" which is probably a BIOS update for that board.

For the side panels, probably a 3D printer for 4 edges with the right hooks/holes to mate with the case, and then an acrylic window in the middle to fill the space.

This will actually be my first VCF event! Next year I may try to set up an actual booth, since Atlanta is only about 4 hours from me. This year I'll just be wandering around trying not to buy everything.

Bummer, my VCF event for the year was East...next year I'll try to add Southeast (Wall Township and Atlanta are almost equidistant from where I live).
