I went to have a look at a Facebook advert for a load of old PCs for £20, you know, a "help yourself to the old crap in our loft!" kind of advert! I came home with this:
Highlights of this lot for me are:
Can anyone tell me how to get into the case!? I don't want to break it!
The world's dirtest imitation IBM keyboard (at least it is mechanical sounding!)
This thing has a ever useful Slot 1 P3 500MHz, has a ZIP drive and has ISA slots...
This Motherboard has potential as it has ISA slots, and it turned out to be Slot A!
The two standard looking M-ATX cases had Pentium 4's GeForce MX's in them and were otherwise uninteresting...
The black, modern M-ATX case with a Pentium D is complete with the legendary, famous GT 210 😁
One big Dell has a Socket 370 P3 of some kind, the other is P4 which I haven't bothered opening yet.
I am also quite taken by the little Dell, which I've always loathed in the past (we used them at school and they were dreadfully slow), but I have a new appreciation of them what with this opening mechanism (and yes, I realise I am probably 10 years late to this party)
A couple of questions...
Would you recommend against just firing up the CRT monitors? They are very dirty and mouldy.
Can I clean the mould with standard mould remover or would even a tiny bit falling into the monitor be a big problem!
