    Pretty sweet. If you have loose papers or documents that you want to keep from flying away, this is perfect.

    What’s bad is that a lot of company machines are just like this.

    My old employer “has a guy” that builds them what they need. I snooped more than I probably should’ve and found out the guy was literally ordering the bare minimum from Dell and charging double for it.

    Which meant my ex-boss was paying at least 4x the value. His position? Head of IT.

  3. Wow ATI Radeon.

    Replace your CMOS battery, it can’t be good.

    Have fun..

  4. This will be ideal for running XP and Dosbox! Don’t listen to the haters they just jealous.

    The thing is about 15 years old now. Not worth putting any time or effort into it. The PSU you’re planning on putting in here is probably worth more than the entire build itself.

    Wow that is great! Im sure itll look great next to your local museums “Classic and possibly e-waste” section.

    Nice! Load it up with emulators and you’ll have thousands of games to choose from. 🙂

    Please don’t. It looks like a 15 year old core 2 quad. The ATI Radeon GPU in there is slower than the graphics processor on your phone. USB isn’t even 3.0.

    The cheapest new desktop core i3 would blow that computer away.

    These things are a dime a dozen at garage sales for $20.

  9. When u say pre-pandemic, did you mean like 15 years pre pandemic?

    I hope you didn’t pay more than $20 for it.

    Donate it to someone in need. Ask your libray although even they probably don’t want this pos

    Kinda unrelated but is this pc british ? It opens on the right ?!

    Knew it was a Dell cuz the heatsink is identical to that off of my PowerEdge T110 ii. That Optiplex would work well as some storage

    Ah the good ole days of the PSU being at the top of the case, i would probably repurpose the case for an old looking modern build and keep the PSU at the top n just upgrade it to a 1kw PSU.
