Would anyone like these hard drive plastic holding containers before I recycle them for the price of shipping? After testing all of my Seagate SCSI drives these are leftovers from the failed drives. They are great for storing your vintage 3.5" HDDs in. PM me if interested. I will post here when …

MOHAA is from 2002 so you are probably going to want to run it in XP... not sure if a P3 is going to be your best bet, maybe a cheap P4 setup and a GeForce 4? would be appropriate for 2002 MOHAA plays great on my P3-933 GF3 Ti200 WinME system... I should probably take a look into a GF3 Ti200. …

Updating the bios might fix it? But i would first test it on an Intel based board and see if it works. It might be a little incompatibility between the Via chipset and the older 3dfx bios? I reckon you should either test it with a Pentium 3 or 4. And make sure the mobo's bios are up to date. Not …

He is just saying make an offer. He is an older man that acquired a bunch of this stuff throughout his life and is now looking to lighten his load a bit. And by bunch of this stuff that’s not necessarily all computer items but just various older electrical and household items so not sure what all …

Performance is still enough for simple internet services like email (via email software), ICQ, IRC, FTP. Even some web pages and forums can be accessed. What about DOS games? By performance level it matches to generic Intel DX4-100/120 based system with some trivial middle-class VLB/PCI videocard. …

Thanks for the help guys. I'm gonna take your suggestions and use a Pentium 4. I'll probably pair a GeForce 4 Ti 4600 with it. What speed of Pentium 4 would you guys recommend? (I currently have a 3GHz HT one).

If you insist, I would suggest a GF4 class display card (MX is also ok). MX for 2002 game? I wouldn't go for that... GF4 on other hand, no objections against that. As long as the CPU is a PIII (especially a slower one), I don't believe there would be a meaningful difference. The point here is not …

I'm going to be doing a Pentium 3 933MHz build (because I can't run MOHAA on Windows 10). What would be the best GPU to pair with that Pentium 3 and what OS would be the most suitable?

They most certainly look like EduQuests. I hope you can get them for a reasonable price.

While the case may be the most period incorrect thing I have ever seen, I like it. It looks pretty good.
