some guy is offering a pentium 2 233 with a mobo and 64 ram for $20...should i pick it up. and if i do can i use the power supply and case from a pentium133 setup i have? thanks.

i would think so. if they're both ATX or both AT psu's then there shouldn't be a problem. there are adaptors to go from one to the other if necessary.

And do what with it? Kinda slow for most modern apps.

As for the PSU, the p133 is probably AT, while the p2 may be on ATX mobos.

Edit: And WTF are you using that p133 for?

I still have a P133 with 64 ram. it's connected thru a lan with dsl connection.

With win98 a p2 can be perfectly fine for the internet.
