Just cleaned out mt garage, closet, and attic. No clue why I kept every single box of anything electronic/tech based in the last ten years. I just tossed boxes for phones I haven’t had in years, old CPU and heat sync boxes, boxes for 100mbps nics, old modems I don’t have anymore. I’ve never needed any of these and have brought them with me through too many house moves.
Well, I for one am sad I threw out my 90s hardware years ago, including things like a Voodoo 2, Voodoo 3, AWE32, AWE64, SB16 … those things are really hard to find nowadays if you want to build a retro PC.
I was confused to, but OP just talked about the boxes, not the thing itself
Oh… I definitely misread that.

Of course it is. It’s fun to rebuild the computer of your youth, and run old games on periodically correct hardware.
Yes. !retrocomputing@lemmy.sdf.org is a good community. SDF.org is worth looking at, as the community there predates the internet.
