I've been posting here for a little while now, so I figured it was time for an introduction:
Hi guys, my name is Haru, I'm 15 and from Perth. I've been into computers for a long time, but only properly begun collecting recently. Here's my collection so far, though it's still tiny:

CPU World seems like a really nice forum so far, and thank you to every member I've met so far for making it so. Special thanks go out to CPUShack and Adamajer for helping me with getting started! |

Welcome to the addictive world of CPU collecting. What sort of CPUs do you plan to collect? I see most of what you have are Xeon and ES/QS. Is that what you plan to collect mostly at first? _________________ My graphics card database can be found at http://www.gpuzoo.com.

Thank you for the kind words everyone!

Yeah, I got into Linux about the same time I got into PCs and I haven't looked back since.
Not much interest in ceramics, unfortunately.

Yes, I'm always on the hunt for new chips

I think so. Some of the chips in there I bought out of necessity, like the QL32 in my main computer. Most of what I bought deliberately for my collection has been Xeon ES/QS, though. Right now I'm trying to track down every stepping/sspec of the Xeon 5060.
