People are so wastefull

luckily its not legal to throw away any electronics anymore and often people will buy them from you

[lhuser]

Well, since I didn't have enough space, I donated it to a recycling center. That's how I "trasj" systems. If not, they hang out on my wall...decorations!

I agree with you, people are wasteful, but unfortunately, it's still legal to throuw it out in Canada...and not only it can be salvaged, but it's contents are toxic.

DO NOT PUT WINDOWS 98 IN THERE. it will run like shit.

[lhuser]

Haha! I was aware of that poor performance. Oh well, I tried, and indeed, I was able to make a full run of coffee yet it still wasn't finished. FYI, if you want to look at something interesting, google "Windows XP on 8MHz system"

BTW, this PC is trashed.

The "unknown" connector is a BNC, or Bayonet Naur Connector. It's used for connecting computers to a network with a coaxial cable.

Pretty useless, but I thought you might like to know what it was.

[lhuser]

Actually, yes, I needed to know what it is. You never know in a networking environement, what they use. Thanks!

Try Windows 98 on an IBM PC and watch the fun (Well actually don't...)

@kimmer6 lol thats very true.

@Wavedude21101 Yo, D man...blasting 486's with a powerful weapon sure beats shooting wolves and Bambi and beating baby seals, too. No more "ILLEGAL OPERATION" from that old crapper.

[Wavedude21101]

@kimmer6 you have to much time on your nands lol

[kimmer6]

Yes, my son shot a 486 with a 50 caliber bullet. We are still proud that we sent that POS to electronics hell.....

I once found a commodore pet siting behind a dupster, it would have taken it home with me but it must have been there for years because it had HUGE rust holes

I found an old deskpro near the trash,would've been excellent if I hadn't fried the ps! A few months later I find another one,still working and running freeBSD. As the name implies,Free for free :D

My dad tried Microsoft Flight Simulator on his Ericsson PC. It was an IBM clone, except it only had an 8088 CPU. The game ran at an incredible 0.2 fpm!
