I remember getting the 133 version of this in 95, my first new computer since my Amiga 500... Was one reliable machine, went for 7 years... Wish I kept it and didn't give it away.
I remember my dad playing mechwarrior 2 ATI 3D rage on our Aptiva that I still have to this day and still playing the game along with magic school busandTorin's passage
Yeah, old IBM's have awesome cases! Myself i got an old Aptiva with some kind of 300 Mhz AMD processor, and ive thrown all the garbage parts inside out and is going to mod the case ;D
Dude, what's the model #? My grandpa has this kind of PC, but I'm planning to put 256MB PC-133 SDRAM inside, a DVD Burner, a 13.5GB HDD & 20GB HDD, Windows 98SE, USB 2.0 Card, nVidia GeForce MX 4000 128MB Video Card, and a wireless card to let my brother surf the web.
@WinVistaUser2 Looks like a C series Aptiva, so it'll support a max of 128 MB RAM. The BIOS probably supports up to a 8.4 GB IDE drive. The DVD burner and GeForce 4 seem like overkill though, as does the wireless card since Windows 98 has limited wireless card support. You could install an older version of Opera to browse the web, but anything with video is out since the processor is too slow.
What an awesome case!

I had this. It had a 9 gig HDD and a 75mhz cpu, and it worked flawlessly.
