If you are collecting a bit because
of the "eye-candy" factor you should also
have a look for DEC Alphas and HP PA-RISCs,
might be a nice addition! |
Trying to spoil his life? LOL
Those are really beautiful pieces... oh, they are... |

What is that LSI chip in the middle of the picture (with four brown squares)? Can you show better picture. It is very nice chip. |
The four module LSI chip is a 4GE7MCM "REVA", L1a7665. I think it's a CPU, but not positive. CPU or not, it's one impressive chip and I think the package is awesome.

The CCFL and power supply from an old LCD monitor make an EXCELLENT lighting unit for displays. Little or no heat, compact size etc.. |

Collecting chips can be really a drug,
you are wise if you dont start to go deep into it,
at least you save some money.
On the other side collecting chips is a nice thrilling
hobby and for sure more challenging than watching
boring TV or playing lowbrow computer games in leisure!

Playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 online deathmatch on the Xbox is not lowbrow  |

Excellent recycle idea!
Do you by chance have a picture to post of a working CCFL & power supply?
I've been tossing old laptop screens and power supplies into my recycle box for the scrappers.
