A Techie’s Collection of Components over the Decade

A Techie Collection of Components over the Decade

I’ve not posting for the past 2 weeks, I guess it’s not uncommon of me to disappear like that of late – this time I was busy with work (as usual) and also the revamping of my lab + studio + work space.

With that, I thought I’d share a collection (incomplete) of what I’ve accumulated through the years, the collection actually spans across more than a decade but just saying “Decade” makes it a lot nicer to look at on the title. 😀


Let’s start…….

Exhibit A – A collection of heatsinks and fans

Exhibit B – Yet another collection of heatsinks and fans (forgot to turn the one in plastic over)

Exhibit C – A bunch of casing related components, IDE cables, USB, whatever else. I’m gonna bring them plastics and such to the recycle center really soon. IDE cables? I’ll probably throw most of them.

Exhibit D – CARDS!!! Network Interface cards (I think they’re 10 Base T cards), old sound cards and even some video cards such as the Permedia EON, 3Dfx something that I can’t make of (Banshee?), S3 Virge and even a Geforce 2MX (Milky Way brand…… LOL)

Exhibit E – A bunch of power cords, and an even greater bunch of power connectors, usually splitters or converters for fan. Not surprising isn’t it? If you consider the amount of heatsinks seen in Exhibit A.

Exhibit F – Network cables, just a bunch of straight and cross RJ45 cables with various lengths and cable type.

Exhibit G – My toolbox, with an assortment of screws, thermal paste, wires, display connection converters, crossfireX connectors, so on so forth.

So there ya have it. 🙂 I reckon that’s about 75% of my total existing collection, not counting those that didn’t make it to the photo, whether or not they’re in use or just laying around some place. I still have many boxes like those from motherboard that I haven’t unwrap the provided components.

Other items not included here are various motherboards, processors, graphic cards, power supplies, RAM sticks (click to view), casings, various computers, monitors and so on so forth. The inventory is just too huge to document.

Bear in mind that there are also components that I’ve bought and sold / threw through the years. Imagine the amount of components I’ll have with me if I didn’t dispose of them.

OK that’s all, I hope you guys love this sharing. 😉
