well sure ya do, lol.

im quite happy to have the oldest working computer still lol.

I did pick up a gem of classic on my way to work today, the local computer store got a load of computers as usal to strip the useful parts out of, well this thing was useless.

Its a 286 6mhz with coprocoessor for FPU work lol and 640k of ram and 2x5 1/4 inch floppy drives, but does have an ISA IDE card in it, so im thinking of getting my 400mb drive from my parts box and installing Windows 3.1 on it :D

ITs old as dirt, the only thing i need to replace is the PSU so i gotta change cases so i need to find a spare AT, as this thing is old enough the PSU has the power switch on it and no front panel switches at all lol.

gonna try to OC it to 12mhz and make it fly lol

Thats not realy true. A few members here have Altair's, Apple 1's, Comadore's and TRS 80's that still run.
Somewhere in the archives is another thread about this. I happen to have all of the above that still work. Once in a while I even use them for my children and freinds to practice Basic with.:D

Sry, but the "OLD FARTS" always have the "best stuff".

Wow, you all have these fancy new machines? :p

I could join! In a couple of weeks I'm gonna sell my current setup and replace it with:

Some ASUS motherboard (440LX sadly, I "accidentely" sold my 440bx-boards some years ago, including the way cool Abit BE6 feat. 4 PATA-ports :()
P2 300ish Mhz
512MB RAM
Rage-something (arggh, I can't remember. It has VIVO (component AND s-vhs, choices choices :p), for whatever good that is. I might find some Radeon 9000 in the closet though)
20GB HDD

Together with BSD or some Linux. Man, it's gonna be a new life! :D

Currently it is a firewall/router, but I don't use it. :)

I dumped $400 into a T23 Thinkpad a couple months ago. It's a great machine, after being walked on by a worker at a grain factory. ;) It has a Pentium 3 mobile m at 1.13ghz, and while it was manufactured in 2002, this is the closest thing that I now have to an old computer.

Edit: It gets 600 3dmarks in 3mark01. :D

the board doesnt like 100mhz FSB much, because the 1400B and the 1000C both are unstable at 100mhz, but the 1000C does great at 133mhz :D
