Win98 is probably more secure than anything current right now. All the viruses found in the wild require at least XP.
>security by deprecation
Impressive. Now we'll hear about some russian spies using a heavily hacked windows 98 version to avoid getting pwned
Nah. Far more secure to use a completely custom OS that isn't available to anyone but them. Then an attacker would need to capture a copy of it and analyze the asm level code for vulnerabilities, working around binary level obfuscation, before being able to make custom malware for it. Bonus if it's a custom CPU architecture as well, then you have to reverse engineer that too -- this becomes exponentially harder if the circuitry is all potted, is designed to self-destruct if attacked physically, and capturing another one is difficult.
Any skiddy can dig up some old malware for a targeted attack against a machine they know is running an obsolete OS.

It'd be cheaper and far easier to store any valuable data on a completely disconnected system than all that bullshit you just posted.
but user how did the data get there?

some of us post here from 1999 hardware all the time, it's baby tier shit

>used all expansion bays.
Cool.
Are you using all the CD drive bays?

So much nostalgia. Thank you user

Even if they were just the same Athlon XP with halved cache, come the fuck on.
>Windows
Why? There are far better alternatives.
The red shit on the side of the case looks gay. I don't see the point in a silver case if your drives don't match.

Oh, it's a game. Why are gamers so autistic?
did you seriously have to look up what Quake was?
pretty bad mate

Pentagon uses 5 inch floppies because nobody can read them anymore.
Yes. Sorry, I'm not a gamer.
c'mon man, i bet even my mum knows what quake is
uhm,... what's the towel for?
Where you get that case at?
to clean up the drool of onlookers
>Pentium III
>OMG its so old u guise
it's almost 20 years old at this point
And i thought hoarding P1's was too modern... Does this mean i could start selling old s.370 crap to hipsters on eBay at inflated prices?
Search completed listings before you do that. For a lot of "vintage computing" stuff there's a ton of people who list things at high prices hoping for suckers, but most of the actual sales happen at much lower price points.
maybe at some point, problem is that they're common, and not really historically significant
they're great for running win9x games on, but not really a collectors item, nor are they particularly unique, seeing as there's plenty of mostly-compatible machines before and after it
that was my first pc's case. do you know what model is?
Holy fuck is that a 50meg HDD? Hectic mate.
Are you some kind of poorfag? Or just a nostalgia retard?
How do I update the bios if I just have an ssd on my X220 and I just have access to a windows PC?
The BIOS version is 1.21 BTW.
Shit, wrong thread. Mods please deleet.
