Locomotive Engineer. I "drive" trains for a living basically. Always been a buff so it's a very enjoyable career for me.

Came out of a proliant that had a sticker showing a 486 dx2 66. Popped the panel and seen this. I think its a 63mhz model.

Love those era Lian Li cases. I've got one all aluminum and two of the "cheaper" Lan Cool K7s.
Re: Recommend a couple capacitors.

I like the idea of polymers but, it seems you can often go with a lower capacitance rating and I couldn't find a reasonable explanation as to why and how. So my brain just defaulted to replace with "like" components. If no one has an objections I'll order the polymers linked above. Don't forget the …

I've got an old DFI G5G330-P. Takes Pentium M cpus (780 on order). Its got 5 VRM caps, of which, two are bulging. Board still boots thankfully. It's got two 1500uf 16v and three 2200uf 6.3v. All "KZG". 10mm width, 5mm lead spacing. Trying to cross reference caps and figure out what works makes my …

I've got one of those Intel made 440LX boards. My PII 333 boots as a 300. Not sure why. Running one of the later BIOS revisions. Maybe it's an unlocked cpu and the multiplier on the boards is set to 4.5? My particular board has no option set multipliers. Typical Intel nerfing. I suppose its …

Decent price. The 1600 is still a pretty darn good CPU, especially if you're not AAA gaming.

Thinking on it, I want to recap this board, if for nothing more than something to do. Caps aren't terribly expensive. What would you guys recommend the electrolytics be replaced with? Mouser has some panasonics (FR I think it was) that look to be a good match but, reading various forums the ESR …

The rule of thumb here is: If these Rubycons look good, they are as good as new. I can´t identify the Polymers (the violet ones), though. (There are some cheap brands that tend to age.) Speaking of new equipment - you could buy a POST-card and a decent multimeter for measuring the voltages. I have …
