I would gladly take that system ?!
are you seriously.. in Sudbury ! LOL .. Cause I know exactly where falconbridge is ( off lasalle and Kingsway )
Also I don't have many parts anymore as I am going into the laptop repairs, I did manage to collect a dual socket PGA 370 board with 4 sd ram slots. It has a P3 1000mhz processor on it ( other is empty ). Motherboard is MSI 694D Pro 2
lol, I was looking at that yesterday on kijiji.
I have a couple mobo's already, plus spare power supplies. Both mobo's have CPUs also, but they are 850 Celerons.
They can run a little server but I think even a 1000 mhz P3 would perform much better. If you'll take $30 for the CPU, send me a pm.
First PC I bought way back when. Dell XPS D300. Went through a few of upgrades since it was born. A Celeron 450 resides in it now and 2 Voodoo2s. Had to use the adapter card for the CPU. Came with an Iomega Zip drive which I rarely used and the Matrox Millenium. Still runs (Windows 95). I keep it to play old games that can't run on my newer machines.
I had one of those too. Solid pc for quite a few years, right up until the whole thing died.
Sometime later, this was the King of the World. Still works if I want to run Windows 98.
That could be used for a serious modern day build.. Think about all the components you could fit in there
Airflow is terrible on those old server towers. Normally it's a pair of 60mm fans on the back, one just above the other. They're loud as hell and barely move any air. Because of the low airflow cable management would be much more important than in a modern case, but it'd be near impossible because the thing is so narrow and no consideration was made in its design to routing cables. Can you fit a lot of stuff in it? Sure. You can cook all that stuff with it too.
I didn't know adding case fans was impossible.
Sides and top, sure, but the back won't allow 120mms, and in most cases not even 90mms. Cases have come a long way.

No I had the same case, Much to my dismay the word "had" is used, It uses a 120 on the back bottom section and a 92mm above the psu and has 3 92 mm fans in the front with a filter.
I scraped it a while back i wasn't [H] at the time and i thought i would never use it.
Okay so throw some 80mm fans in there. What I'm saying. There are many things you can do in order to keep temps down, even in a case such as that.
You fail... I would have taken a case like that right off your hands!
Got some old hardware hidden around the place.
CPU's and RAM is on a daughterboard in the bottom of the case. Passive cooling baby! (Don't mind the dust, they've been in storage for years):
Are those brown slots 32-bit EISA slots, or are they MCA slots? I know that usually, EISA slots were the same color as ISA, and MCA slots were usually brown, but I can't remember exactly what the connectors looked like.
It's been so long since I've seen anything like the old ISA/VLB combo slots
come on please post more pictures people.
it is interesting how we came from 8mb of ram to 8gb. will we ever go from 8gb to 8tb!? that's scary.
Here's my first "computer". We got it in 1980. It still works, and I have over 3 dozen games!
IBM - ThinkPad (510Cs)
Since we're posting old ThinkPads, here's my oldest ... I think.
Compaq LTE with expansion base:
-snip-
2 of the hot swap bays, ISA slot, lots of ports on the back like composite, s-video, more ps/2, network. With it you can run a floppy, cd and 2 hard drives.What all is added by the "expansion base"?
