It was fully functional, the CD and floppy drives were working, and it could even run an old version of Ubuntu (Lucid couldn’t run on it though.) Unfortunately, I do not have any pictures.

I used to record TV on it (with an added TV tuner PCI card,) but I bought an amazing Iomega ScreenPlay Pro HD (which has a MIPS CPU and could runs uClinux,) the old computer was just sitting there collecting dust.

Now, looking at what other people collected, I feel kinda guilty. In comparison to the computers on that thread, my computer seems pretty modern.

But then, I gave it to charity, so I feel less guilty.

But then, I feel sorry for whoever going to get it. Its power supply fan sounds like car motor, and they’re going to have a hard time if the keyboard or mouse broke (AT keyboards and serial mice are not exactly easy to find.)
