[The Kernel Loaf]

I just got my new PC so I am bunging out my old one.

The specs are:

Gateway Motherboard w/ mini tower
Pentium Celeron 600 MHz Processor
Windows 2000 Professional
120 GB Maxtor Hard Disk
32x CD-ROM Drive
Voodoo 2 3DFX PCI Card 12MB
2 x 128MB SDRAM
USB2.0 + Firewire PCI Combo Card (6 x USB Slots 4 External, 2 Internal; 2 x Firewire External Ports)
56k PCI Modem

Quite outdated I know, but this would suit someone who is an infrequent user of the internet (mainly for emails and web browsing) and requires a PC for word processing and other high-level tasks. Perhaps an older relative? I should also mention that the Voodoo 2 is excellent for some retro gaming that supports 3DFX (if anyone is looking to build and old machine or whatever).

I would like to sell this as a whole unit, but if noone wants it then I may split it up and sell seperately. Please note that no keyboard, mouse or monitor is included.

Any offers?

Yeah it is. I am going to wait for a bit before I sell things seperately though.

:o Old pc's are cool. I hate that you can't play old games properly on newer ones or they look like are speeded up few times(for ex. 1st UNREAL Tournament,GTA1 or London). I can remember when you had to use DOS it was fun

It works an absolute treat, especially for online gaming using something like ZDaemon.

I think this pc would ideally suit a downgrade to Windows 98 if it were to be used for retro gaming. That way, very little old games wouldn't work.

You should check out DOSBox.
