Hate to say it, but even that old Mac Classic looks better than most PC cases today! Got to give Apple credit for design.

Sorry, but...
my first rig was an intel 8085 running at 0.477Mhz, it had a whopping 2K of memory.
I had to wire it one chip at a time, and write the BIOS is Asssembler. what a beast!

wtf is it with peoples weird obsession with old junk? A modern calculator has more power than that thing
Technically, it isn't junk if it works. For me, it has to do with nostalgia and history.

Lolzao at b8umping an old thread but how about whacking 3 285GTX's in that thing. You could set benchmarks in crysis seeing that the resolution is absoluteley terrible.
The chrome PCI brackets look better than the rig looool!

WTF is it with people bumping ancient threads?
It's not a 285GTX, it's a GTX 285, you just sound like you have no idea what the hell you're doing, although you obviously don't suggesting he put cards that have ONLY EVER BEEN MANUFACTURED IN PCI-E into a computer from before AGP was even implemented in computers...

I've got everyone beat.
I have a TI-99/4A and Timex Sinclair micros.
But if we're talking PC's, then there is my IBM XT with 20MB Seagate HD and AST 6pack add-on with a CGA monitor - circa 1987
edit - oh yeah, and my 5150 dot matrix printer.
