I finally lugged my Highscreen SkyTower AT tower up to my office. This machine is beautiful, even when it's yellowed and dusty and grimy and rusty.

and yeah, it's got a sliding door in case you need to hide your drives!

And good god, look at how many bays this has.
2x 3.5", 5 5.25". It's amazing.

check it out: screwless entry. it has a handle you just slide to open it.

it's even got a drive in it! and it's not locked! yay. These caddies are too small for the usual tubular lock impressioning tools so they're a pain to pick. It's usually just easier to disassemble the fucker.

It's a Seagate ST32120A, 2111 MB

foone OP , 3 months ago

okay I had to take an hour long break to fix pastejpeg.

Here's the insides!

CPU!
It's a A80502-100 SX963: A 100mhz Pentium 1, bus speed of 50 or 66 mhz.

This is post-FDIV fix. Boooo.

fan and heatsink are very messy. very, very messy.

A heatsink. It's full of dark brown dust
a cotton bud/qtip, completely covered in dust and grime

foone OP , 3 months ago

Okay, fan and heatsink cleaned up. Fan tested, and reattached.

bah. my battery box has gone missing. I can't find my CR2032s

foone OP , 3 months ago

I pulled out the Rustmaster 9000 PSU. This is not getting tested, it's going directly back into the swamp from whence it came

The front of an AT PSU, the grille for the speaker has rust and dust and grime all around it

foone OP , 3 months ago

Darn. My clean PSU isn't gonna fit into this case, the fan + power plugs are at the wrong location. I'll have to pull another one from my Car Fulla AT Towers.

foone OP , 3 months ago

But in the meantime, lemme just grab a modern PSU and my ATX2AT

foone OP , 3 months ago

Putting a modern gamer-black PSU in a classic AT tower is just wrong.

Hmm. Nothing from the motherboard: It doesn't ever init the VGA. I'm gonna need to find my POST card. Hoping it's just one of those units that won't power on without a CMOS battery

foone OP , 3 months ago

ooh cool, I was able to get the picante CR2032s!
