So I have a 7100/80 and a 7100/66 are there any differences between them aside from processor speed? Wondering if i should keep one or both. Going to open those ones up next probably tomorrow they are at my other place and i am BEAT today

I like this one alot might be my favorite. Alot of the PC cases were in rough shape or missing a cover or rusty/dented. This one is nice. Its a ZEOS Pantera, I believe it a Pentium 1. I am not certain what speed but the wiki says they ranged from 66 to 233 mhz. So somewhere in there. They were...

This next one is an unbranded so it might have been a home build from the 90s. It just has a Pentium III badge on the front thats it. The board is an Asus and the PSU is an Enlight, on the back of the case a sticker says 450mhz. Thats all I know about it thus far. Seems to be some generic...

Got home today at 4 so wanted to spend the rest of the day going through some of the PCs. I grabbed three to start with, with towers i thought were nice. This is the 1st one. The oldest one. I really like this little micro case I think its sharp looking. This one is a 386 and looks to be in...

I found a charger for the ol' pentium 3 thinkpad. She fired right up. Had a password to login so i did a system recovery with a full disk format and here we are running a fresh install of Windows 98 SE. It sounds good and is snappier than I expected. 600mhz P3 with 192mb ram. ATI graphics...

Thanks for reminding me yes all of them had that sticker on them. I also noticed 1 or 2 of the sparcstations had had some sort of cards in the top slot that the others didnt, I did not open them up yet. Those were in the larger body IPC style ones. I don't believe you can tell whats in the pizza...

Hello, whats up everyone? Its been a busy week at work, haven't had any time to do anything. There is alot to do still I havent gotten to the SPARCstations yet I counted 26 in total I believe 6 are SPARC 10s, and there are another 5 that are 1, 1+, or 2, these are the pizza box style. Then there...

This one looks slick YIHUA 948-II https://www.ebay.com/itm/385027125291 seems to be selling well too. But I found the updated Hakka in a gray instead of that ugly ass blue purple color https://www.ebay.com/itm/336140635258

I had a relaxing labor day weekend didn't get anything productive done just alot of empty cans and bottles, after work tomorrow ill start tearing into some more shit :D

I definitely seems like a good deal price wise which scares me. I am liking that Hakko one the best so far. But I like the Metcal that obselete recommended a page back, but that one seems real high end for a beginner and the price is quite a bit more, just for the used box its 150+ then you need...

I am liking this one. At right around 100 dollars its cheap enough. It says its 220V though is that common for these lol its like a welder

I am hoping a couple more people come with recommendations for a soldering kit/station/setup. I appreciation the couple people who gave their opinions so far, and im sure many more people viewing the thread will also appreciate it. Please share your advice and wisdom in this subject if you are able.

Nice work

I hope everyone in the usa is having a good labor day weekend. In case you aren't, here is a picture of the other Duo Dock Plus and the Stylewriter. Now your weekend will be most excellent no doubt. I pulled out the old shower towel with flowers on it for the occasion.

Hell yeah good tip thanks

We ain't here for a long time. But I guarantee these silicon boards with through-board solders will outlive us all. Can't say that about any tech after 2010s lol

Yes sir ive watched several videos on soldering. I am in the process of getting my first soldering rig and i have have plenty of worthless things to practice on. I just made this thread to share my experience going through these machines in hopes not just myself but others can come back and read...

All of these machines came from an IT guy from a university so he labeled them himself as he repaired them, thats all...

I am fully aware of that thank you. I just meant that the sticker was a "good sign" because some of the stickers said "bad" or "not working" lol. I havent powered any on except the couple all in one SE's after I took them apart and inspected them as many said they are likely working. Edit: I...

Here is the laptop haul, not pictured in other pictures. The 2300c is the one from the Duo Dock, but all the rest I havent pictured yet. I like that pentium 3 thinkpad next to the 2300 will likely keep it its thin and sleek. All the others I will likely be parting with.
