It used to be my family’s first PC, bought in 2007. Despite being old, everything still worked, except for PSU that was replaced around 2013. But I needed a new PC, and I decided to make it into a sleeper.
The case is one of Microlab 4103 models, but I don’t know exactly whether it’s M4103, S4103 or C4103. It’s very hard to find info about them online, due to their age. Money are tight, so I decided to go without a dedicated GPU for now, using integrated GPU. I has been using it for almost a month, and it’s been a blast. It runs nice and quiet, and square monitor is perfect for old games, no “widescreen fix” necessary, and it can handle old and some modern games as well.
