I'm planning a build based on ancient hardware. The theme is blue.
Blue ... Ancient hardware ... Gonna turn an SGI Iris Indigo into an espresso machine ?
SiliconGraphics has plenty of blue chassis
Went from this.
I7 2600K at 4.7Ghz Single core score was 355
To this.
Stock 3600X on a MSI B450i AC mobo thats currently sitting inside a Define Mini C. That is next on the upgrade list then monitor and then finally GPU.
cant wait to try BF5 and MW. The fps was okay before but would have constant drops from over 100 down to 60 so made it very awkward to play.

Over the past few days I've been re-learning the C language and how to use it effectively for Object Oriented programming- basically to get more of the potential out of using C as opposed to using C++.
I've seen a few SGI machines at the college I went to, in one of the engineering buildings. Mostly they're there for just making old 90s caliber VR simulations for educational purposes. It was uncanny using old specialized peripherals that were basically precursors to modern motion controls and gaming VR setups.

Combined getting ready for surgery tomorrow with some small tinkering on my ever more Frankensteinian Optiplex. It's getting a new PSU that can actually handle the installed hardware (MeanWell UHP-350-12 + G-Unique Archdaemon) and front USB 3.0 and audio modded into the front bezel. It's mostly going well, and I guess my soldering skills are improving - but they're still terrible. I'm glad nobody but me is going to see that XT60 connector between the PSU and G-Unique unit, as it's quite atrocious.
Beyond that I'm both nervous for tomorrow and very much looking forward to waking up afterwards. Fingers crossed I guess.

I've dropped my monitor from the desk and smashed kinect v2 today (the most amazing thing is the monitor's fine).
Now I'm planning to order Azure Kinect and looking for information on the web on its compatibility with Artec Studio or any other software for 3D scanning. It's a sad day, only beer can cheer me up.

Received my FT03 Mini, dummy fit a rig in it and considered streaming the build with an AMA. hmmm..
How old ? What level of legacyness ? A man needs ref ! Never surrender, never abandon those dreams !

Very specifically the P8Z77-I.
Nice case, I had both the Ft02 & Ft05's, Silverstone make a great case-excellent fit and finish. I found their 180mm AP fans got loud at higher speeds, not sure what the 140mm's are like... A Noctua NF A14 chromax would be a nice fit if the stock fan was a bit vocal
That's not very legacy, it has no jumper to set frequency and voltages. I was thinking something like 486 or older, DOS + W95 legacy ! Or even better, a PowerPC !
