@powerlot If you have them and are able to ship to Europe, I'm taking them :)

Thank you @GiGaBiTe Here is an update of the original post: I was wrong about the motherboard on this unit. I've did some more digging and I'm sure now that this is the correct motherboard: Gigabyte GA-6WMMC7 (OEM) It seems it's only good for CPUs at 100Mhz FSB. On Gigabyte website I've found...

@GiGaBiTe I've played with two CPU's (667, and 1000), although at startup I'm getting a BIOS message: What is weird is that the processor is fully recognised in BIOS, and if I skip (exit) the Setup process the Windows starts normally, and seems to be working just fine. I'm wondering if there is...

Update: RAM maxed out and upgraded to 512MB :) CD-ROM Drive installed and works nicely @GiGaBiTe Thank you! I've also did some digging since I've posted this thread. This is the motherboard on this machine: https://theretroweb.com/motherboards/s/gigabyte-ga-6wmmc7-e1 I've purchased few used...

Hello everyone, I've recently acquired a mint-condition IBM PC 300 (6345) from June 2000. Today, I took the plunge and unboxed it, giving it its first-ever start. After replacing the CMOS battery, everything worked right out of the box. The computer comes with a Celeron 500Mhz, 5GB HDD, and...

That's was exactly what I was thinking. :-) But thank you for your reply.

@Plasma are you willing to sell/trade yours?

Hi, It seems like both the floppy drives have different problems. Floppy drive A: The fact that it can boot when connected as drive B after swapping suggests that the drive itself may be fine. The issue might be with the cable, the controller connection for drive A, or even with the...

I just have few NIB IBM PCs 300 that I really badly want to match with monitors. I’ve already gave up on getting IBM monitors, but still want to get matching ones at least. If you’ve seen this on eBay in a past year that already gives me hope.

Thank you. I’m constantly monitoring eBay for these. The biggest challenge is to get three exactly same ones. Maybe I’ll have to loosen my requirements someday but I’m not giving up on this yet. I don’t care about the size, so anything starting from 15” would do, but I do care about the color...

Hello fellow vintage tech enthusiasts! I hope this post finds you in good spirits. I'm a passionate collector born in the '90s, on a mission to recreate a nostalgic PC setup from around the turn of the millennium. I've managed to gather some iconic pieces for this dream setup, but there's one...

Hello fellow vintage PC enthusiasts, I hail from the beautiful country of Poland where I was born in the pivotal year of 1990. As someone who grew up during the transformational era of the 2000s, I've always been drawn to the magic of technology from that decade. It's amazing to think about...
