Dell Dimension L800CXE. Bought new in 2001. Kept it all this time. Only parts I don't have anymore is the monitor or keyboard/mouse. But ironically I still got the speakers and the box with all the CDs.
The PSU is shat though. Kicked not long after I took these photos. Which is funny. Tower sat in a closet for damn near 14 years.
Specs:
Intel Celeron 800mhz Socket 370
Sdram DIMM 256mb
Iomega Zip 100
CD Burner
3dFX Voodoo 3 2000 16mb pci
U.S Robotics 56k modem
Intel 10/100 Nic
Creative S.B Live Value
60GB IDE HDD
Windows 98 SE

I pass up dozens of these at the recycler every week but one with history and an actual box is always cool to see.

I run one in my Visual Workstation and pretty much all I've ever used it for is Need for Speed III. Still worth it when you can use it, though.
Nolan Baker
The biggest issue I have with them is that they degrade the VGA signal. Pretty good in NFS2 and some other games though

It's a matrox millennium. Even has a directX 1.0 driver but apparently can't do texture mapping

From what years are those se tups and what model is that Thinkpad?
Colton Myers
I wish I had the mainboard for this one
Jason Williams
that soviet chip thou
Carter Morales
Honestly I don't know. It's back in the closet. I know dell did some fucked up shit with the atx spec back in those days so I can't just drop in some psu from newegg. Also it wouldn't fit.
Got another system, slightly newer. It's fully functional and custom built.

Which chip is the CPU on this one? I'm throwing a guess that it's the unmarked one in the upper-left.
Josiah Reyes
It's kinda hard to tell actually, my guess would be around 2003 for the CRT one, and probably around 2009 for the second one.
The thinkpad was an X40. I used it during my university times. Great machine, now I feel really bad that I sold it. I hope it's still alive somewhere out there. I can't find any photos of it.
Angel Price
Yeah, it's that one. It's a standard intel 8088 with very faded markings.
Dominic Ross
fucking aesthetic

I can't believe you are being serious right now.

One more pic. I can't find the raws for those, which is a shame.
Retro as fuck huh? I was asked by a friend to help their grandfather and their PC, this is what I found when I arrived.

no one forces you to like it, "stop liking what i dont like" is not an argument
Isaac Gutierrez
Yes, I had forgotten the name. Pic related are some other card that I have that I am not currently using in any PC. They're all AGP but I don't have any late 90s machines with AGP, just PCI and ISA, hence why I was using the Matrox Millennium. And for my early 2000s machines that do have AGP, I have newer cards like the FX 5700. An older guy gave me all of these cards for free, and some sound cards, network cards, and a whole bunch of parts from the turn of the millennium.

Fuck that is what I was missing! I was wondering why my light wasn't feeling right, but forgot that a warm colored light is a lot more comfy. Where can I get that kind of bulb? And possibly lamp.
