Hello,

Does anyone know of a place in and around Reykjavik that sells older PC hardware? And when I say old, I mean 20+ years old, specifically P3, socket 7 motherboards, ISA cards and such. I'm working on a retro PC project, and need some parts. The second-hand stores had a few useful items, but not all that I'm looking for.

Thanks.

Then list what you need, some could have it here.

Right here is your best bet

-Pentium 3 motherboard with at least 1 ISA slot
-AGP video card, 1,5v or universal 1,5v & 3v
-Socket 370 CPU heatsink and fan
-ISA SoundBlaster sound card, or SB compatible card
-Working IDE CD or DVD-ROM
-Super socket 7 motherboard with CPU

I have a few p2's and a couple of mainboards for them. And a k6-2 with a mainboard and a few crt's. I have a few isa soundcard's but they are not for sale. send me a pm if you are interested.

I have a few isa soundcard's but they are not for sale.

Why are you keeping them? I have a couple of old soundcards too, I'll probably give em to Góði Hirðirinn or something.

Primarily nostalgia. My primary collection is old soundcards i even bought a Roland mt32 for that extreme midi experience, there is a huge difference in older game midi sound depending what sound chip you have. if you have any Isa soundcards i would be more than willing to buy them from you.

You can see the basic difference between a few cards here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fr-84mjV3CI

I still have this computer, that's in my signature.
From 2001

P4 @ 1,5 GHz
Msi 845 Pro Socket 423
2x256Mb og 1x512Mb@ 133MHz
Nvidia GeForce4 MX 420 64 MB
2xDVD (status unknown)
1xCD (status unknown)
1XFloppy
PSU 200W

If that's something you can use?

I have two boxes full of parts from this era (~486 to Pentium 4/Core2), as well as complete computers. Will see if I can find time to make a list of it to post here.

I know for sure that I have a few IDE cd-rw drives and I am fairly certain there is a Pentium 3 motherboard and CPU with a heatsink, although I have no idea if it is working or not. I probably have everything that is on that list and more.
