Got probably 30 odd Core 2 Duo E8400/1st Gen i5/2nd Gen i5 desktops/laptops in storage, pic related just some of them

仓库里大概30多台 Core 2 Duo E8400/一代i5/二代i5 的台式机和笔记本，图里只是其中的一部分

Haven’t got around to being bothered selling them as they are so worthless/waste of time

一直懒得卖，反正它们太不值钱了，纯粹浪费时间

Maybe if I wait it out a bit more they'll become "retro" and "cool"?

也许我再等等，它们会变成“复古”和“酷”？

Maybe now is the time to sell them as computer prices are so high?

也许现在是卖的好时机，因为电脑价格那么高？

Maybe I should just throw them in ewaste?

也许我该直接扔电子垃圾里？

Maybe I should do a /g/ donation run lol

也许我可以来一波 /g/ 版捐赠活动哈哈

I'm undecided on this matter.

我还没拿定主意。

I’m kind of thinking what >>109421028 is thinking. I see all these projects and screenshots bringing Windows Vista/7 back nowadays, are we really this close to Windows Vista/7 nostalgiafagging? Should I just wait 5 years then sell them $300 a pop?

我有点在想 >>109421028 说的那个想法。我看到现在一堆项目在把 Windows Vista/7 带回来，我们真的离 Vista/7 情怀泛滥那么近了吗？要不要我干脆再等5年，然后每台卖300刀？

Currently it seems that Pentium 3s are all the rage and Pentium 4’s are slowly coming up in price and see similar machines to these in the $100-150 range used. Wonder if this will go up or down?

目前看来奔腾3很火，奔腾4价格也在慢慢涨，看到类似配置的二手货在100-150刀左右。不知道以后是涨还是跌？

Yes on the bottom shelf that's about 30 or so ipad 2s

对，底下一层大概有30台左右的 iPad 2

Wonder if they'll be worth anything one day

不知道以后会不会值点钱

Probs not planned obsolescence appleshit lol

估计不会，苹果那种计划性淘汰的垃圾哈哈

they are

已经是了

>Currently it seems that Pentium 3s are all the rage

>目前看来奔腾3很火

they were in 2020 but the reseller grift has largely moved on to XP era gear

那是2020年的事了，现在倒卖的已经转向XP时代的东西了

>>109421647

Just vibesell them.

随便甩卖就行了。

>>109421663

This. Sell them on eBay with ***VINTAGE*** and ***RETRO*** in the title and hipster weenies will gobble them up.

对。挂eBay上，标题写*VINTAGE*和*RETRO*，那些装逼文艺青年就会抢着买。 ♧ 等2030年代，我真想看看人们怎么对着Win10壁纸和GTX 1050这种复古卡玩情怀。

Can't wait in the 2030s how people are nostalgic with windows 10 wallpapers and retro cards like the GTX 1050s

等不及看到2030年代人们怀念Windows 10壁纸和GTX 1050这种复古显卡的样子了。

>>109422867

The 1080 gained legendary status in the early 2020s already only a couple years after release.

1080在2020年代初就已经封神了，才发布没几年。

It definitely will be a classic collectible in the future

以后肯定会成为经典收藏品

>tfw only have a 1070

>tookey我只有张1070

>>109423087

I think the entire 10 series will be honestly, they're still viable even today if you're not playing UE5 slop

我觉得整个10系列都会变成经典，如果不是玩UE5烂作的话，现在都还能用。

>>109421647

I think any desktop that can natively run windows xp is worth selling.

我觉得任何能原生跑Windows XP的台式机都值得卖。

Windows xp desktops for retro games are peak.

能跑XP的台式机玩复古游戏是巅峰。

>>109421663

Seriously?

XP is my generation and I don't feel like going out spending $200 on a fucking core 2 duo E8400 lmao

XP是我那代人的东西，我才不想花200刀买台什么破 Core 2 Duo E8400 哈哈哈哈

Maybe this is because I already own 100 of them

也许是因为我已经有100台了

>>109422758

>vibesell

Is this a thing? A website that can automate listing 20 of them?

真有这种网站能自动上架20台机器的？

>>109423315

I guess, I mean I have a rig with XP on one drive for some old games but it's a i7 3770

大概吧，我有一台机器装了XP用来跑一些老游戏，但那是 i7 3770

I feel like a core 2 duo or 1st gen i5 is pretty mid for that.

我觉得Core 2 Duo或者一代i5对那个来说有点不上不下。

I guess it may seem like a better deal when RAM and shit is so expensive right now. Some people just want something that just works.

不过考虑到现在内存什么的那么贵，也许这听起来更划算。有些人只想要个能直接用的东西。

>>109423087

I also have a 1070 and have no issues playing anything & runs 4 monitors just fine. Will be playing the long game or will just stop playing games lol

我也有块1070，玩什么都没问题，接4个显示器也妥妥的。要么走长期路线，要么干脆不玩了哈哈。

>>109421647

That stack in the upper right of the picture with no expansion slots can be sold or trashed, most people who want old hardware usually wanna rice it up and those can't really be riced beyond RAM and maybe a CPU upgrade. All the ones on the middle shelf except the far left, you should harvest those expansion cards out of then sell or trash, because they require a special form-factor PSU to fit around the audio and PS/2 ports.

图片右上那堆没扩展槽的机器可以卖掉或者扔掉，想要老硬件的人一般喜欢折腾升级，但那些除了加内存和可能换个CPU，基本没啥折腾空间。中间那层除了最左边那台，剩下几台的扩展卡你先拆下来，再卖或扔，因为它们需要特殊规格的电源才能适配声卡和PS/2接口。

The far left tower on the middle shelf and the two to the left on the top shelf are the ones to invest your RAM sticks and best expansion cards into, and try to sell for big money. Some of the older Core 2 Duo's actually make for solid WinXP systems.

中间层最左边那台和顶层左边那两台，才是值得你投入内存条和好扩展卡的机型，想办法卖个好价钱。有些老酷睿2双核其实很适合做WinXP系统机。

>>109423716

Yes the ones that aren't the HP ones are i5 760s with a foxconn h55mxv board and 4gb of ddr3 but only 2 slots in use.

对，那些不是HP的都是i5 760配富士康h55mxv主板和4GB DDR3，但只用了两个插槽。

I _think_ they have Radeon 5450s in them Low Profile

我记得里面是Radeon 5450，半高卡。

I have given maybe half a dozen to friends over the years and a couple have taken them out and put them in standard ATX cases as they are just standard ATX boards.

这些年我送出去大概五六台给朋友，有几台他们拆出来装到标准ATX机箱里，因为那本来就是标准ATX板。

I do agree maybe I will try and sell those first and throw some more RAM etc in. Then when I'm tired of selling stuff I will low-effort sell the rest of them

我也同意，也许我会先试着卖那些，加些内存什么的。等卖腻了，剩下的就低价随便处理。

Those HPs are actually not too bad a friend cut a hole in one and put a Full Size GPU in lmao I can't find the pic though

那些HP的其实也不算差，有个朋友开个洞塞了个全尺寸显卡进去，笑死，但我找不到图了。

Old Appleshit has its collector's value too. Look into how much people pay for original iPods.

老苹果那破玩意儿也有收藏价值。去查查人们花多少钱收初代iPod。

>>109421647

The Core 2s will sell as XP gaming rigs. Especially if you pair them with some cheapo XP compatible card like an HD 6450. The i5s can run XP, but they're a bit too anachronistic. It'll probably be a couple years until you can sell them as Windows 7 gaming machines. Feel free to try though.

Core 2那批能当XP游戏机卖，尤其配个便宜的XP兼容卡比如HD 6450。i5那批能跑XP，但有点太跨时代了。可能得过几年才能当Windows 7游戏机卖。不过你想试也行。

I would adjust your expectations about the price though. Those "retro gaming machines" you see listed for crazy high prices are usually either a bunch of really old high end parts in very good condition, or don't actually find a buyer. Lower end or more common stuff probably isn't going to sell for more than $200, at least nothing of that age.

不过我得先调整一下你对价格的预期。你看到那些标价高得离谱的“怀旧游戏机”，通常要么是一堆非常老的高端配件且成色很好，要么根本卖不出去。低端或者更常见的东西大概率卖不过200美元，至少那个年代的东西没啥戏。

You could also part them out. A lot of home PC owners and businesses still run office box machines of that age and will end up looking for parts to replace them when they break.

你也可以拆零件卖。很多家用电脑用户和公司还在跑那个年代的办公机，坏了之后就会去找替换件。

>>109423607

>I feel like a core 2 duo or 1st gen i5 is pretty mid for that.

>我觉得酷睿2双核或者第一代i5对那个来说挺一般的。

The Core 2 Duo is the ideal for XP stuff. Its what most people want since that was the best thing around back when XP was in common use for gaming. Runner up is Pentium 4s, but those sucked at the time compared to AMD's options so they aren't as popular in the retro market as they otherwise would be.

酷睿2双核是XP时代的理想选择。那是大多数人想要的，因为当年XP在游戏上流行的时候，它是最牛逼的东西。第二名是奔腾4，但那会儿跟AMD的选项比它太拉了，所以在怀旧市场上没那么受欢迎，不然会火得多。

You gotta keep in mind that these are collectors, they aren't going for practicality, but period accuracy.

你得记住，这些人都是收藏家，他们追求的不是实用性，而是时代还原度。

The newer machines are still usable in current year though.

不过那些更新的机器现在还是能用的。

>>109423607

>XP is my generation and I don't feel like going out spending $200 on a fucking core 2 duo E8400 lmao

>XP是我那代人的东西，我可不想花200美元买个破酷睿2双核E8400，笑死。

I wouldn't either (not unless I won the lottery or inherited millions of dollars) and that's despite me being an avid collector of vintage hardware. Its not rare enough to warrant that kind of price, not yet at least. Basic bitch DOS stuff is worth that much now, because most of it got sent to landfills years ago, so there isn't much left that still works.

我也不会买（除非我中了彩票或者继承了百万遗产），虽然我是个狂热的复古硬件收藏家。它还没稀有到值那个价，至少现在还没有。现在那种基础款的DOS机才值那个钱，因为大部分当年都进了垃圾填埋场，能用的没多少了。

>>109421647

Simply personify them, develop romantic feelings for them, then start hoarding them, and turn them into an AI supercomputer like this guy

简单点，把它们拟人化，对它们产生感情，然后开始囤积，再把它们变成AI超级计算机，就像这哥们一样。

Junk because those cap out at 16GB max if you are lucky, since they use DDR2 it's more likely that 8GB is cap. Those are probably from after the Intel ME was added, so they don't have value as being a pre-botnet machine. I'm guessing they're Dells?

垃圾，因为那些最多撑死16GB内存，运气好的话，而且用的是DDR2，更可能8GB就是上限了。这些估计是英特尔ME加入之后的机器，所以没有“前僵尸网络机器”的价值。我猜是戴尔的吧？

>>109421647

If you’re in a big city check if some hackerspace wants them

如果你在大城市，看看有没有黑客空间愿意收。

If not, toss them. They will never be cool, valuable or worth anything, it’s just old ewaste like a gpu from 2005

没有的话就直接扔了吧。它们永远不会变酷、变值钱或者有什么意义，就是老电子垃圾，好比2005年的显卡。

I recently ran windows 98 again and I dont miss it, it's easy enough to run old games now, most games from that era have been modernized, like tyr quake and raze for build games, fallout CE, even dune 2000 works well enough and was a bitch to get it working

我最近又跑了一次Windows 98，一点都不怀念它。现在跑老游戏很简单，那个年代大多数游戏都现代化了，比如Tyr Quake和Raze跑Build引擎游戏，Fallout CE，甚至沙丘2000也能顺跑，以前弄它简直是折磨。

Only sim golf needs to be modernized still however it can run

只有模拟高尔夫游戏还需要现代化，不过它还是能跑的。

>>109424296

I have two 1080 mini cards, I was thinking of getting the rx 9060xt 16gb but it's not really a big enough jump in performance for me, I'll wait for rdna5

我有两张1080 mini显卡，本来想搞个RX 9060 XT 16GB，但对我来说性能提升不够大，我会等RDNA5。

Pic shows mostly HP machines that would have full AMT

图片里大部分是惠普的机器，带完整AMT功能的。

Though probably they're still in the era where ME can be nerfed, idk

不过可能它们还在ME能被削弱的时代，我也不确定。

Core 2 duo era hardware was produced in greater numbers than anything before or since, I guess it will be rare eventually but not for decades.

酷睿2双核时代的硬件产量比之前和之后的任何东西都大，我觉得迟早会变稀有，但那得等好几十年。

P4 existed during an era of faulty capacitors and ROHS woes so a lot of them died, whereas C2D was after that stuff and tend to just keep working forever.

P4那会儿正好赶上电容劣质和ROHS各种破事，所以死了一大片；而C2D时代之后这些毛病少了，基本都能一直用到天荒地老。

So just stash one or two, give away or trash the rest.

所以留一两块当收藏，剩下的送人或扔了就行。

I think by the time Win 7 and especially 8 and 10 were around most kids were using smartphones instead of computers so I doubt there will EVER be a nostalgia market for 2010s systems.

我觉得等到Win 7，尤其是8和10流行的年代，大多数小孩都在玩智能手机而不是电脑了，所以我怀疑2010年代的机器永远不会有怀旧市场。

>>109424263

This thread actually reminds me, I have a new in box Commodore 64 wonder if I could get 300 for this?

这个帖子倒是提醒我了，我有一台全新未拆封的Commodore 64，不知道能不能卖个300块？

Shit is way before my time, from deceased estate but they never used it, must have been a gift or something.

这玩意儿早于我那个年代，是从去世亲戚遗产里拿到的，但他们压根没用过，估计是别人送的礼物啥的。

No accessories though

不过没配件。

And I heard the stock power supply can blow up the unit due to bad caps, so may have to buy a new PSU and provide it in order to sell it?

而且我听说原装电源因为电容问题可能会把整机炸了，所以是不是得买个新电源一起配着才能卖出去？

>>109424439

I guess you're right. I have kept my first and second laptop for nostalgia sake

你说得对。我自己也留了第一台和第二台笔记本，纯粹为了怀旧。

An N270 is almost completely useless nowadays but there's something about booting up Virtual PC on that thing and going through the struggles that is fun for me so I keep it around.

N270现在基本没啥卵用，但用那玩意儿启动Virtual PC折腾一下，体验一下各种卡顿，对我来说挺有乐趣的，所以就一直留着。

Second laptop is the only blu-ray drive I have so I guess it's more a utility thing.

第二台笔记本是我唯一的蓝光光驱，所以更像是个实用工具。

Yeah it’s random with nostalgia. Dosbox was shit for years with people discussing how to play old pc games and now there a massive compatibility stretch from like 2003-2026 and we’re going to skip compatibility issues with proton which is what wine was supposed to do for years but never did. Old phones are a massive gap in lost media. That old iPhones/android shit you throw away everyday with old games/media is going to be hard to replace with everything be cloud hosted. You know how it would be fucking stupid to keel stacks of old mobile phones? That would be like keeping stacked of old pc hardware in the 2000s/2010s

没错，怀旧这东西说不准。Dosbox以前烂了好多年，大家都在讨论怎么玩老PC游戏，结果现在2003到2026年的兼容性覆盖超广，而且还要靠Proton跳过兼容问题——这本来Wine该干的事，干了一辈子都没做到。老手机则是丢失媒体里的一大空白。那些你随手扔掉的旧iPhone/安卓机里存的老游戏和媒体内容，以后想找回来可就难了，因为现在全都云端托管。你想想，攒一堆老手机是不是看着傻？但放在2000年代/2010年代，那就跟攒一堆老PC硬件一个道理。

As windows gets progressively worse I can almost see this happening.

随着Windows越来越烂，我几乎能看到这种趋势会发生。

When win 10 launched it was extremely shitty. MS had to force update people's computers to get adoption, yet they still didn't hit their first year target. Things improved only barely over the 6 years of "incremental updates" (perpetual beta) yet people heralded it as the pinnacle of software when Whydoesittakesolongtopenexplorer11 launched.

Win 10刚出的时候烂到爆炸。微软不得不强迫大家升级才勉强有人用，结果第一年目标还是没达到。之后六年的“增量更新”（其实就是永久beta）只改善了那么一丢丢，可等Win 11发布的时候，大家居然把它捧成软件巅峰。

>>109421647

They will never become retro and cool because PC games of that era fucking suck. The reason why 80s and 90s PCs have value is because people want to play games on the original hardware. Everything the game industry has made post-2005 is garbage.

它们永远不会成为复古和酷的东西，因为那个时代的PC游戏烂透了。80年代和90年代的PC有价值是因为人们想用原始硬件玩游戏。游戏行业2005年后做的所有东西都是垃圾。
