Hello again, I would like some recommendations for 3D animation/modeling software I should use. This is for a Pentium 1 computer, currently I use Blender 2.40, which has a incredibly clunky interface and runs very slowly on my Pentium, about 3FPS. That and it lacks nice tools like mirroring and such …

I'm so jealous! The only AT computers I can find are... $190-$600.. Except my entire Gateway 2000 P5-120 setup that I should showcase! That, I FOUND.

I can use a somewhat newer GPU, but at the very least I would like the system to have been made around the same time as the PS1. I'm not trying to perform emulation, rather, a system similar at heart and performance. Thank you all very much for your input, you're welcome to still add stuff. I'm …

Allow me to share context as to what I'm doing. Currently I'm constructing a temporary solution. Once I obtain the long wished Net Yaroze, I will begin developing various games and software for the platform. Again, what I am doing is temporarily solving my personal need to overall come close enough …

Hello everyone! I have been a huge enthusiast of the Playstation 1 for as long as I can remember, I grew up with it and have always been fascinated by its jittery, pixely 3D graphics capabilities.

Someone was confused about how it was clean. As I said the system APPEARED dirty beyond cleaning, but surprisingly a lot of air compressor use and a little bit of windex made this thing way more clean than 90% of my systems, which says a lot becauze I keep my systems spotless. And no, I have tried …

We live in an unfortunate time for Pentium iii enthusiasts, such as myself. Though, I personally love the Pentium ii and 1 more. I typically fall back to the Pentium iii for software support reasons. The time is unfortunate, because Pentium iii based machine's prices are sky high right now, even …

I wouldn't say the system is scarce, more that HP absolutely flooded the market with various OEM systems like this one so much that some slipped through the cracks and weren't covered a lot. While I wasn't old enough to be aware of anything at the time, it appears that this system just wasn't …

Oh I also forgot to mention, these systems didn't ship with an AGP slot, surprisingly, so I have to stick with PCI, which is not a big deal. I'm not planning on maxing the RAM out just because of how little of it is actually taken advantage of due to OS bloatyness and lack of software optimization …

I felt that this system in particular deserved its own thread. This is one of those systems, nobody ever heard of. This, is one of those systems, that barely has any written history. The only references to its existence is spam advertisements for RAM upgrades, and a specs sheet that appears to have …

Yeah I guess I somehow got confused and percieved my room as being warmer than the system. As for the power supply barely creating heat, that's probably due to a low amount of power being used from it.
