I'm working on building a few retro gaming PCs at the moment. Hi guys, new member here, I've been using this site to help me out with my new project the past couple of weeks and figured I'd introduce myself. That means I wound up walking just over two miles carrying the damn thing. Also, I had just walked into the thrift store on a whim while out on a jog and didn't think about the logistics of getting it home at the time. BTW, the Dimension tower is notable for being the ONLY computer I've bought from a thrift shop that didn't require a thorough cleaning when I got home with it. It's powerful enough for my needs and unlike the Dell XPS I keep at my desk in the home office, it runs quiet and cool enough that I'm willing to keep it in my bedroom. Unlike many of the other computers I've had and posted photos of, this will probably remain on my bedroom desk for some time to come.

To think, once next year hits, it'll be a decade old.

Back during my sophomore year of high school, this setup would have been something else. In this photo is a 15" Dell LCD I paid $15 for at a thrift shop and a Dell Dimension 4500 which I paid $15 for at same thrift shop just two days later. Here's what the computer looks like inside:Ī closer look at some of the components of the computer:Īnd of course, since this case has a 7-segment display, the computer is not complete without: Creative 52X CD-ROM drive throttled down to 4x QDI P51430VX/250DM Explorer II motherboard with Intel 430VX chipset SoundBlaster 16 CT2840 sound card(I will replace this with either a SoundBlaster 16 CT2230 or Labway XWave 128(Yamaha YMF719) if I get a Yamaha DB50XG, DB60XG or the NEC XR385) 40GB hard drive(it's overkill, but that's all I had)

16MB of RAM on two 8MB 72-pin SIMMs(will upgrade this to 32MB using two more 8MB 72-pin SIMMs later) The case is the same as the Pentium MMX build before I moved it over to the Prosys case: It is possible that new assistive programs for XWave are going to be developed in the nearest future, thus providing paralyzed patients with a new tool to control virtual keyboard.I said I made something else out of my old Pentium MMX build, and now, it's time to show it off. Such set can be used to create various applications controlled with concentration or relaxation skills. The manufacturing company provides developers with a special set of software. XWave can't provide users with direct control of applications and currently is marketed as an entertainment device. This model includes an elastic band from a conducting material instead of the plastic headband. Second one is Xwave Tines and allows users to accumulate statistic information about brain waves activity during listening of music tracks.ĭeveloper of this device also created Xwave Sport model for all the fans of sport.

XWave includes several mini-games, which allow users to improve their ability to keep continuous concentration or perform fast relaxation. The first one is XWave itself, which uses phones and tablets to show current biological rhythms of user’s brain, as well as relaxation or concentration status of the user.

The set of software includes two applications. XWave can be connected to a phone or a tablet on iOS through audio jack or Bluetooth. Due to precise EEG-sensors, this device allows its users to capture information about current biological rhythms of their brains. XWave is a budget variant of neuro-headset, created on the base of NeuroSky eSense sensor and developed by PLX Devices company from California. It allows users to obtain the information about brainwaves activity and can be used to improve relaxation skills.
