No pictures at the moment, I'll add something later.
Stopped by the thrift store where I picked up that Acer machine a couple months ago. Today was 50% off on electronics so I figured let's take a look.
There were several older PCs, mostly P4 era which is what I've been looking for as I'm in need of an XP machine for a few troublesome games. There was a really nice XPS Gen 4 there, but it had been gutted, no drives, no video card. Should have taken the Audigy2 ZS that was in it but meh. They wanted $50 AFTER discount for the case and it was beat to hell so I left it.
Sitting right next to it was a black antec case. This thrift store wraps some of their PCs with packaging tape so that people can't open them and steal parts like I assume is what happened to the XPS. This machine had 2 video cards, some kind of TV card and a couple of SATA hot swap bays in the 5.25" bays so I said screw it. If nothing else the case is pretty decent and I do need another case. Price was $40, which came to $20 after the discount so out the door I went.
Got it home, opened her up and this is what I found:
The case is some black Antec design something. Pics will come soon.
ASUS P4C800
ASUS BasiqPower 350w power supply
P4 2.8 w/HT
2GB RAM
2 Radeon 7000s, one AGP, one PCI (Both going in the trash most likely)
Hauppauge WinTV
some ethernet card
The SATA drive bays are pretty nice. The machine booted up right away, I was able to play around in the BIOS some. I'm going to drop my BFG Geforce 7800 GS OC card into this thing, a sata hard drive and call it done as an XP machine for now. This will let me play KOTOR and a few others that don't behave nicely on my Win8x64 laptop. Maybe I'll find an X-FI Titanium HD to drop in here and fill it out nicely.
Not bad for $20?
