I received an old hardware store.
I took a look at the old PC tower you had out there. It was just sitting in the cupboard, collecting dust, and I decided to give it a try. Turns out it’s from back in the day—around 2000 or earlier. It’s a Pentium 3 with an 800MHz clock, no fan cooler, 256MB of Infineon PC100 RAM, a dead 10MB hard drive, plus a floppy and CD drive. I wasn’t sure what to do with it since it doesn’t seem very useful anymore. Maybe someone interested in retro systems could make a video about it? If that’s the case, I’d be open to talking with them about getting the parts here in the UK.
That hard drive seems completely mismatched with the rest of the system. It probably came from an older setup. Honestly, it’s hard to picture a 10 MB drive being functional in 2000. Even then, the operating system would likely consume most of its space just from running itself and other programs. I recall using an 8 GB drive on a Pentium machine back then.
