Hello guys been lurking around here for a while and finally feel i have something worth bothering you all with 😁 . My goal is to build a rig from around 1999 as its when i was first getting big into computers but could not afford any thing that nice . Trying to stick with parts from 99/2000 on a pretty tight budget(I may build something nicer later) . I bought a lot of parts on ebay from a striped gateway p3 600 system for $8 and shipping . A new antec exhaust fan , and a 300 watt allied ATX power supply with mains switch on the back for $5 and shipping off ebay . The case i had it was given to me some time ago brand unknown but its very solid . plus some other parts that I had laying around .
I'm still waiting on the power supply but i set it up and tested it with my test power supply . Specs are pIII 600mhz ,384mb pc100 ram , 64mb S3 agp video card , Ensoniq ES1370 PCI Sound Card ,3com 10/100 nic that i had laying around ,Plextor PlexWriter cdrw, and a ide zip 100 drive . I'd like to find an appropriate hard drive and a copy of windows 98 , right now it has an 80gig drive and windows 2000 for testing .
