Meet classicVGA – retro PC parts from a private collector

Computers Hobby

In the early nineties, I got my first real computer — a clone of an IBM 486 DX/66 MHz. That was the beginning. I got addicted immediately. Over the following years, my hobby developed into a passion, and eventually it became my daily job.

​

I also started collecting graphics cards, motherboards, and other PC parts along the way. For more than 30 years, I have built up quite a significant retro collection. Eventually, I reached a point where space became an issue, so I decided to scale it down a little. That’s when I opened a retro PC collectors shop to sell some of the items.

If you are a retro collector or enthusiast, you know that it is not easy to find a reliable source of vintage PC parts these days. That’s why I created this place for collectors and enthusiasts just like myself.

​

Here, you can be sure that everything you purchase is fully tested and refurbished. Each item is restored as close as possible to its original condition, or even improved upon. All components are tested and benchmarked multiple times in different configurations.

STEP 1

Physical cleaning, dusting off and fixing broken parts.

STEP 2

Application of new thermal paste: Grizzly/MX-4/GD900 for best cooling performance.

STEP 3

Benchmarks & stress tests (~ 1 hour) to make sure the performance and temps are solid.

classicVGA Preservation Program

Old motherboards, sound cards, GPUs, CPUs, and complete systems — all the hardware that helped build the golden age of PC gaming — are now being scrapped, recycled, abandoned, or forgotten.

​

At classicVGA, these vintage, no-longer-produced items are made available to retro PC fans. Not just to store them on a shelf, but to preserve them, restore them, and keep them running the way they were meant to.

​

It’s a chance to build your dream PC using parts you could never afford in their original era.
