Wow just wow. This guy is saying im apart of the stupidest race and that he will igniore all my people. Ok then. This just got personal This sounds like "abusive behavior" and is definitely something reportable to Ebay. Assuming that he hasn't been "provoking" him with similarly worded messages. I …

Awesome! Nice beige zip drive too, I like it. :) And yeah, I apparently neglected to mention exactly what I upgraded from the original parts, but the processor was one of the things I upgraded. As you say, it originally came with a 200MHz CPU and I swapped it out easily with a 233MHz just to max it …

Dell Dimension XPS P100 mislabeled as 486, $115, HDD missing, seller might don't know about the Dell model (seems to not differentiate between 486 and Pentium socket, doesn't know about Dallas RTC chips) http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-DELL-XPS-P100-Desktop-Gaming-Computer-Intel-486-/152667779230? …

Such a beautiful case and build. Its very similar to my MMX233 build of the PC I wished I had but never did in 1997.. but I went for a bit more overkill and did Voodoo 2 SLI.. Hehe. I initially considered going with a Voodoo 2 SLI setup with this computer... not for any practical reasons mind you, …

Hello all, First build I've posted here and I'm quite pleased with how it turned out. :) The original computer was a Dell Dimension XPS M200a with all of its original components except the hard disk (seller did not include one). So, it's not a "full" build in that this is based on an OEM machine, …

After years of wishful thinking, I finally pulled the trigger on a 486DX2-66. Paid a tad more than I wanted, but it all seems to be in great shape, and also, is in the same case I had growing up, which was a definite selling point. Can't wait for it to come in. Nice. :) I also saw that for sale but …

Bought one of those NOS Microsoft PS/2 IntelliMouse from one of the sellers on eBay with them and was contacted just a short while later by the seller letting me know that I could pick it up locally if I wanted (didn't realize he was near me when I bought it). So, I agreed and went. Came out with …

Ah yeah, that does look like it should work, though as I said the little clip-thingy (on the right side of your most recent photo) won't fit into the little slot on the CWD-4002 (it would need to be on the front of the part, not on the back where it is now... or maybe the lighting in your photo is …

Here you go , probably more photos then you need, but better safe then sorry. :) Looking at Rawit's photo again, I'm thinking it might work, but the one problem I see right away is on the side opposite the one which has the spot for the screw, there's no little extension to slide in on the CWD-4002 …

That does look somewhat like the part you're missing (though I think it might be the wrong shape... possibly). I can double check with my CWD-4001 when I'm back from work and post pictures of it.

Oh by the way those really expensive NOS AT cases on ebay can be found on http://www.movesurplus.com/products?search=computer+case for cheap, like $50 to 60 for a new case. Pretty good deal in my opinion. This made me really sad, as I found the exact case I want on there and they apparently will …

I get the impression that most people get their AT cases from picking up old computers others have tossed / are going to toss, and these are probably a majority of local pickups instead of online purchases (eBay, etc). I of course would love to be wrong and be told that there is some magical source …

Awesome, glad to hear it worked. :) I also came across that french forum post too which was really helpful with all the details and pictures about the internals. That post is what finally pushed me over the edge to buy one a month ago or so. Been very happy with this computer so far! EDIT: Sorry, …

I have a CWD 4001-ZE which is almost identical from what I understand. I'm using the NE2000 driver from this page using Copy code to clipboard 1 NE2000.COM 0x60 10 in my AUTOEXEC.BAT. Works perfectly. I couldn't get it to work at all until I specified IRQ 10, so I'd assume this is probably also …
