I cant belive that something this old, and in such a bad condition still works and booted at first try
i was not planning on buying this $10 bucks PC but when i saw it and read the manual i still wanted it because it looked nice, i always wanted one but an IBM one. Even tho its just a 486 dx2-50 and i read the manual and looks like good well known HP did not want you to upgrade it for free and you are given very few upgrade options, like an overdrive 33 or something like that.
I didnt plug it, i wanted to see how bad it was inside, full of dirt everywhere even on the ram slots. Took a paint brush and cleaned it a little bit
connected it and the monitor did not fit, wtf? HP, FUCK HP with a vga connector that has 1 pin hole missing, had to take out an old trident isa card and plug it in to use my monitor.
the case is actually in good condition, it is just dirty as hell
the power supply does give a lot of sound, like the hdd.....79.5W OF MEGA POWER
And there is one button i dont know what it is for, there is a power, reset button and anotherone that i have no clue.
could this be upgraded to a pentium dx4 or amd 133 with a voltage regulator? or hp had done their business with a crappy bios cpu detect?
the battery is weird too, it is faulty because at first boot it gave cpu plus hdd error and booted a second time and gave no errors
THE SUPER MEGA COOLING OF THE ERA....MY GOD AHAHHA THE FAN POINTING THE CPU WITHOUT ANY HEATSINK, THOSE WHERE THE DAYS.
some pics to enjoy
