Purchased this a couple of weeks back, need to tear it down and clean it all up. I was particularly keen on this machine (Tiny is a now defunct UK brand) because it had an AMD setup within. Specs are 1GHz Slot A, 256MB memory, TNT2 M64 with the most tiny heatsink and fan ever and network / firewire cards. Originally had Millennium on there but I've never come across a Tiny restore setup for ME.

Wonder if it's this board:

Interestingly it's listed as IR3... except IR3's real retail number is supposed to be MS-6195 (aka K7Pro).

Meanwhile... I managed to get two more video cards...

Always loved the design of this card. Super aesthetic.

Wow, 1 GHz slot A, those are rare and expensive... Nice find. Weird paring with TNT2 M64, try to find a Geforce DDR or a Geforce2 Ultra.

Tiny were a high street brand here in the U.K. many had machines from these guys but they weren’t known for top components with other appropriate components! I have a GeForce 2 ultra in my card drawer, will definitely give that a go! It needs a clean and the case needs a bath first though 👍
