Thrift Finds: What 'goodies' did I find while thrifting???

[@maxtornogood]

I know LGR used to do regular thrifting vlogs but I understand how it could get complicated. Still cool that you show off your finds! My first actual laptop was a chunky second hand HP laptop that looked very much what like you picked up here. Brings back memories!

[@TheRetroRecall]

Yes, for sure. It is very hard to do and most times (like 95% of the time) I find nothing. It isn't like it used to be.

[@maxtornogood]

@@TheRetroRecall I look forward to seeing what you come up with for future clips involving this gear!

[@TheRetroRecall]

[@JohanlastZa]

I dont know about other countries but here, Lifetime Warranty is actually used WHILE the product is still being sold/manufactured by the manufacturer. Which means when they end the product, the warranty period also stops.

[@TheRetroRecall]

Yeah it's probably the same here.

[@vivienm7]

That motherboard with that style of IO shield feels like it came from some big OEM system…

[@TheRetroRecall]

Someone just commented and I looked it up, it looks like it came from a Packard Bell 850 system..

[@dustincarpenter1707]

I was thinking maybe SOYO.

[@stamasd8500]

The second 3DFx card is a Voodoo3-2000 AGP. The first one is a Voodoo3-3000 PCI. The PCI bit makes it especially desirable. I've been looking for one of those for many years with no luck.

[@TheRetroRecall]

Keep an eye out - you never know what will be dug out of a drawer and thrown to a thrift store.

[@spywarefinder]

OMG! That HP Mini Desktop at 4:30 brings back some amazing memories! A friend of mine had one which was AMD based, took it home, installed Windows 7 home premium x32 and the next day… blank screen… couldn’t understand what was going on so took the motherboard out, checked the CPU pins and it worked again! But after an hour it froze while playing Halo 1 demo. I soon learnt that the motherboard was known to have defective Nvidia chipsets (don’t quote this but I think the computer came out around the time where certain Nvidia chipsets had issues). Sadly threw it away but it had so many amazing features! Finally, one time at a local recycling centre, it was raining and I happened to notice a computer that looked familiar and it was another HP mini PC but Intel! Cleaned it up, but it wouldn’t turn on! So I pushed the chipset heatsink down and it booted and worked! Used it for about 3 years and I always love thinking about to that particular computer repair adventure! :)

[@TheRetroRecall]

That's awesome, thank you for sharing this! Also good to know about the Nvidia chipset concern.

[@jerfle7787]

Those Geforce 6150 SE motherboards were notorious for cooking themselves. I remember replacing three motherboards before I moved on.

[@TheRetroRecall]

Good to know.

[@erie910]

The thrift stores near me don't carry or accept much in the way of electronics. Usually I can find keyboards (no ergonomic ones), mice, routers, DSL or cable modems, and printers. I've learned not to buy thrift store printers. They usually are their prior owners' problems, and usually don't work. They usually take ink or toner cartridges that aren't readily available locally, and the return window usually is closed by the time ink or toner ordered online arrives.

[@TheRetroRecall]

I completely agree. I rarely buy thrift store printers unless they are nostalgic for me :). Most are junk and require tons of work to get going again, and even then there's no guarantee.

[@spywarefinder]

18:14 I also had on of these HP laptops mine was slightly different though! The HDD is located on the front where the lid latch is, you’re lucky the WiFi card is already installed, mine didn’t and I had to use a PCMCIA WiFi card. I also believe the WiFi cards are restricted by the BIOS which can make it hard to simply install any WiFi card that you may have spare. Also, might be worth mentioning, the DC jack can be fiddly as moving or turning the DC jack can stop charging the battery but worst of all turn the laptop off if the battery is dead! Nice find :)

[@TheRetroRecall]

Good to know thank you!!

[@spywarefinder]

@@TheRetroRecall No problem!

[@stamasd8500]

The motherboard is a Biostar M5SIB. You can find it on the Retro Web by searching for that name. It probably came out of a Packard Bell system (it was also known as the Packard Bell PB992 or Packard Bell Pegasus).

[@TheRetroRecall]

Yes! Thank you!

[@BilisNegra]

5:41 Windows Vista was actually fine once they released that service pack. I used a laptop with Vista on it for almost 9 years! BTW, I have the 8x version of the HP CD burner with that same faceplate design. It was originally in what used to be our family computer back in 2000. It seemed to fail sometimes at first with audio CDs (occasional parasite noises here and there) and it turned out that maybe the Adaptec software that came bundled with it did not get on very well with the drive: I started to use Nero instead and never had those issues again! I wonder if it has any life in it. It's so lo long since it was last used.

[@TheRetroRecall]

Yes I think the software and lack of system resources generally caused the buffer under runs of the time. I often remember setting the system up for a session and walking away for an hour on a 1x caddy drive :)

[@sbrazenor2]

Those CD-Rs are actually quite important; being 650MB. The reason I say that is because the newer, higher capacity discs are not always compatible with some systems, whereas the original 650MB discs are. I have run into that specific edge case before, so it's good to have those around when working with 90's era systems with CDs using burned images.

[@TheRetroRecall]

I did not know this, thank you!

[@Mini-z1994]

Some really nice finds there, the PCI voodoo 3 card is probably one of the more desirable versions due to agp compatibility being needed for the agp card so a slot 1, socket 370 or slot A system is basically it there, maybe socket 462 with specific motherboards would work. The agp card is probably also a voodoo 3 3000 but it might be a slightly higher clocked 3500, found one myself recently at the scrapyard which actually seems to work ok in the bios.

[@ABRetroCollections]

3500's come with TV-Out. That was 2000 AGP.

[@Mini-z1994]

[@heckintech]

What a GREAT haul! Some fantastic stuff in there! Oh man, that HP laptop was my first ~PERSONAL~ computer. We'd had family PC's for years, but that laptop was the first computer I had that belonged specifically to me. 🧡 I can't remember what specific model I had, I'm pretty sure it was a Centrino, with an "IGP 340M" GPU, and it.. was okay. Hahaha. I mean, it played Unreal Tournament 99! And GTA Vice City! And that was SO AMAZING to me. But once our LAN parties started moving on to UT2003/2004, my poor little HP just couldn't keep up. But man, I still LOVED that thing. Truly some of the best times. 🧡 Also, I am envious of your Value Village prices! The ones here in my city, they'd charge at least 30$ for that pack of VHS's, zero hesitation. Any laptop, regardless of its age or condition, they START at $49.99. They had a single core EEE PC, missing RAM, HDD, and battery, and several missing keys, with an $89.99 price tag on it. Just insane.

[@TheRetroRecall]

Thank you for sharing your memories - I love this! Yeah, I've been lucky but even here the prices are going up as they realize collectors are out there.. Shameful really.

Voodoo 2 cards where loopthrough cards if i'm not mistaking. You could chain them with another voodoo2, but you needeed a 2d card. Voodoo 3 and 4 where standalone cards. I think you have two voodoo 3 cards. Voodoo 4 mostly had a mechanical cooler. I bought one voodoo 4 , a few years ago, still have it, but i never see them anymore.

I do the same as you, but in the UK we call thrift stores charity shops. When I go out I always take a few minutes to check them as you never know, and when I go somewhere different I look for charity shops. Over the past few months I've picked up two PS/2 keyboards for £1 each, a box of 3.5" Sony 720KB with 8 disks in it for 50p, a USB to Serial DB9 RS-232 converter for £2, and a TP-Link Wireless N Nano Router for £3, and quite a few old games for £1 each including a couple older versions of Microsoft Flight Simulator, and a basic VGA monitor for £10. I enjoy hunting in charity shops as you never know what you'll find from one day to the next. I even pick up empty multi disk CD/DVD cases that one I go to gives them away for free, so I give them a little donation for them every few months depending on how many I've got from them. I can never have enough CD/DVD cases due to the amount of disks that I've got such as driver disks and restore disks that come in the silly white sleeves, and makes organising my disk collection easier. As always another great video. Also I hope that your Mum is keeping well.

[@simonlathwell]

The VooDoo3 3000 card you've got will be worth a fair amount. Many years ago I picked up a 3Dfx VooDoo2 with 12MB RAM thats branded as a Techworks V21200 and paid £5 for it I think in 2003/2004. I think my VooDoo2 is worth over £100 as they are highly sort after by retro gamers. Mine will eventually go into a system, but I've gotta get the cable to connect it to the main graphics card. At 04:10 that will be a standard 3D AGP card and will have 3D built into it, VooDoo2 cards were longer and only available in PCI.

I have the very same Voodoo3 pci card myself which I use in my P133 system I play old games on and it´s a very nice card if it works and it should have 16mb of memory if I am not mistaken. I also have the exact same SUN cabinet but for SCSI hard drives which I use together with a 15000rpm drive and has it connected to my AMD Athlon XP 3000+ computer that I run moderately old games with. Can be good to know that I just recently Re-Capped my cabinet and that the caps had indeed started to slightly leak out electrolyte through the seal of the caps. I got that rancid fish smell while de-soldering the old caps but I had barely any damage from them yet so it was just in time before it corroded the pcb. I am also working on a futile and maybe impossible attempt to revive my second Toshiba Lapline computer ( a T3240E 20mhz 286 with plasma display Unknown amount of ram and drive installed ) but it had the Varta death and it has very serious damage from it. I don´t even know if anything else is working because it does not boot or post in any way at all, not even the screen is waking up, only the fans spins up and that´s it. a brick. Traces are broken and missing all around that stupid battery and insanely close to those big SMD chip holders around it. it is even broken on the bottom of the board since the acid soaked through the motherboard and vanish the traces on that side too. it be a miracle if i get it to work again but I got nothing to lose so I am making attempts to reconnect and bodge stuff together.

5:20 in fact, this is a really good graphics card, not just good, but the best, which is confirmed by the line below - this computer runs on Vista Premium. Almost all computers with integrated graphics at that time could only handle Vista Basic. In addition to the transparency effects in Vista, this video card even allowed you to play games somehow, the performance was very good for an integrated graphics, not comparable of course even with a very budget video card, but much better than integrated graphics from Intel could give. Their integrated graphics could not even draw transparent windows on the screen without lags until the release of the first Core i series processors.
