I've been into retro PCs lately, specifically from about 1995-2002. I started with a 200 MHz Pentium MMX gifted to me about a decade ago. Recently picked it back up and discovered there's a lot of fun to be had. For example, it was somewhat recently discovered that AMD K6-2+ CPUs are just one zero-ohm resistor move away from becoming K6-3+ CPUs with the full L2 cache unlocked.
I also am experimenting with Slot 1 boards. They were originally designed for Pentium IIs but with the right combination of VRM, BIOS support, slotket adapter, and CPU and pin change mod, some boards can run the last Pentium IIIs (Tualatin). It's a lot of fun and experimentation.
