You should put them in order by age, what came out before what.

This should be made into a full size poster and sold to every single computer supply store ever, every school, and any place that has parts available. Not only for the employee/student's use, but for customers to understand what they're getting. MAN this is a hugely informative piece.

well, since you obviously know what all the components are, I guess it would be good to ask you, what IS svideo, and what are its advantages over standard AV connections, if there even are any? :3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, the image will appear a little sharper, as far as quality goes it's like this:
RF/coax
Composite (Yellow/Red/White RCA)
S-Video ([link] )
Component (green/red/blue/red/white RCA)
VGA (never really seen a good comparison, but I think it should fit here)
DVI
HDMI/DisplayPort

Ok, that makes sense, I did not know it was any sharper than standard Composite AV cables... xD Thanks for giving me the info! :3

What an interesting and useful compilation!

Highly informative. This will definitely come in handy next time I'm salvaging parts from a neighbor's machine (or replacing parts for them

Perfect...
This may come in handy !!!

This is a good reference, yet I think if you understand what it's referring to, then you probably know most of the common types on here.

it might be very informational, but it's not very eye-pleasing at all. The colors and the font is just not doing it for me.

Thank you, its veeery usefull

Any SETA cables up there? XD Just kidding! My dad will absolutely love this! Now if only computers came with a little guide like this... Great job, and congrats on the DD!

SSD seems to be missing. other than that, AWESOME!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
SSD, as in solid state drives? They use the same hard-drive connectors as platter based drives, typically SATA for desktops/laptops or ZIF for sub-laptops/netbooks.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You don't have any FC-AL connectors? But then again, that's usually just on servers.

I acquired a fiber channel hard drive and I'm starting to gather Fiber Optic connector specimens. It'll be a while before I have enough for a complete poster. But I'm working on it.

I can use this in my hardware class. thanks for sharing

What you always wanted to know about the innards of a computer... and more

The "future" parts are just gonna make me laugh. XD
Very nice chart indeed. Now I miss my early days with SCSI hard drives with that big 50-pin connectors.
No floppy connectors

Motherboard headers could have their own poster..... I'll try to squeeze in a floppy drive on the next rev.

was the game port just a serial port? or was it is own separate stranded?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The game port was often a combo Game/MIDI port. Software decided how it was used. Other standards also used the DA-15 port. Like Mac Video and AUI network interface.

First of all, NICE JOB! You have tons of RAM, maybe add more standard looking FB-DIMM though, like this: [link]
Also, I see that there isn't anything for Fiber Channel SCSI drives, like this one (notice different small center connector): [link]
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
While the heat-sink styles do differ, the board interface is the same. FB-DIMMs were pushed in front of the consumer eye by Apple's MacPro series, granted they have been used in servers for much longer, I though people could relate better to the apple heat-sink style.
It's funny that you should mention FC-SCSI. I found one on ebay to photograph and it just arrived yesterday. Look for that update in my next revision.

Now that just simply kicks ass. Damn, that is so cool!
