My friend has an old PC he got for free.
It is a LEADER branded PC, and he was rather exited about it, until we booted it.
When we saw the Windows 98 startup screen, we new why he got it for free.
However, he still wants to make something of it.
Specs are below:
CPU: Intel PIII Celeron, coppermine, Socket 370 @ 733 MHz
RAM: 160 MB (128 + 32), SDRAM @ 66 MHz (133 MHz Capable)
Motherboard: SiS 630S based, single chip solution. 3 PCI slots, inbuilt graphics. No AGP slot
HDD: 9.3 GB IDE, very noisy
CD: 52x CD drive
Network card: 10/100 Fast Ethernet, 56k Dialup Modem
PSU: 350 watts of unstoppable POWAAR!
So, what should he do with it? Its easily expandable, very quiet (excepting the hard drive), would run on a very low power system (I have a mini-ATX 120 Watt PSU lying around), and would probably fit in a shoebox. I'm thinking of a small media center, with more RAM and a better HDD + W2K.
Any other ideas?
