Hello,



Disection of Skybuck's Dream PC's motherboard (A8N32-SLI Deluxe) is now online at the following links below.



There are 9 interesting pictures and 1 beautifull picture for a total of 10 pictures ;)



The pictures:


  1. Most interesting picture: BIOS CHIP seperated !


  1. Bios chip original orientation placement.

  2. Bios chip reinserted.


  1. Strange orange stuff and bubbles on silver thingy.

  2. More strange orange/yellow stuff and bubbles on silve thingy.


  1. Chip with purple paint on it, could indicate the motherboard was used before ?!

  2. Sticker altered with pen, could indicate motherboard was used before ?!


  1. Loose sticker, could indicate motherboard was used before ?! Sticker replaced ? (Everything burned into motherboard except warranty information ! HA !? ;) )

  2. Stack Cool 2, blue back side... interesting to look at it.


  1. Nice pictures of holograms from memory chips.



Each picture is 1 megabyte. So total space is 10 MB.



For those people with dial-up's... pictures can be individually viewed via web folder.

Bye, Skybuck.



Weet je, je gaat me vervelen hier. Blijf jij nou maar lekker dromen over je droom pc.

Lol,

Het is maar een term hoor.

Ik moet toch iets gebruiker om deze PC aan te duiden.

Hij heet nou eenmaal DreamPC :)

Or maybe DreamMachine =D

Yeah that's better ? :):):):):):):):)

Yes now I can DREAM again about my PC working LOL :)

Joepie de poepie ! =D

Bye, Skybuck.

Hmm that's interesting.

This review has no sticker on the bios chip.

I wonder if my bios chip has the same ST letters or something like that under it...

But I don't dare to remove the sticker, afraid of warranty issue's ;)

Gonna search for more pictures of the bios chip to find out more about it and to see if there are differences :D

Bye, Skybuck.

Hmm, more little differences.

First of all the anandtech pcb was made in china, mine in taiwan.

XBITLIBs pictures pcb made in taiwan as well.

Other little differences:

My parallel port has sleaves in it... the xbit doesn't.

XBIT's BIOS chip has a yellow sticker.

Also the usb things have stickers on it !

Hehe... it's like the game:

"Find the differences !" =D

Maybe the orange stuff on my silver thingy is somebodies snot ! another indication of usage... or maybe it's left over of clue... or maybe it's leakage stuff !

It was there from the start... I think I even reported about it back then ;) hmm.

Bye, Skybuck.

This is interesting and strange:

I just found a picture on the internet which looks like my motherboard but is still a little bit different but the strange thing is:

  1. It also has a white sticker instead of yellow sticker on bios chip

AND

  1. It has a little purple paint drop on one of the chips as well at almost exactly the same place... but still a little bit off... near the black pci-e slot.

What is this strange purple dot ???!!!

Bye, Skybuck.

And another one with a strange purple dot:

This one looks the most like mine... it also has the sleaves on the parallel port...

The only real difference I can find is it has some kind of "burn mark" on the copper heatsink pipes.

Mine doesn't have those black letters, hehe.

What's that all about ;)

Bye, Skybuck.

Dude... You're an idiot.
