Bought this thing in 2003. Used it for a good long while. Was considering converting to HTPC, but too big to fit into entertainment center. Ended up going with a microATX case and stripping parts out of this for the HTPC.

Anyways, specs as follows:
- P4 2.8 GHZ
- 384 MB RAM (128 + 256)
- 40 GB ATA western digital hard drive
- DVD ROM
- Floppy Drive
- PCI Rage 8MB graphics card
- Sound Blaster Live 5.1 audio card
- No Operating System
- 250 watt Power Supply (replaced original within last 1-2 years)

This thing is pretty dinged up. Clamshell design isn't easy to close anymore, and, the front cover of it still fits, but doesn't stay on easy. The motherboard is OEM/proprietary, so it can't be yanked out and put into another case easily. No blown caps on the MB so far as I can tell. More info here:

I'll ask $20, OR, free if you know somebody who genuinely needs a computer and you are willing to install an OS / can add a Keyboard+Mouse+Monitor to it.

Im interested but what did you strip out of it for your HTPC?

3/28/2010 10:04:53 PM

If someone gets this and needs a monitor, I have 2 17" CRTs that are up for grabs.

My house is 1 hour away from Raleigh and you are welcome to pickup tonight. If your bid is serious and you are willing to pickup tonight, PM me. Otherwise, I'll consider your bid not serious and smc still has the high bid of $10.

one hour from raleigh? where are you at? it would cost that much gas to get there and back unless you come closer to raleigh...

If you still work near the RTP i can meet you today or tomorrow if you bring it with you to work. I might be training out in Briar Creek tomorrow if its possible to meet.

Last bump. High bidder on Sunday takes it. Will meet in/near RTP 8am-5pm anytime next week.

4/2/2010 7:29:19 PM

If the high bidder fails, I'll still take it for free.

4/2/2010 8:16:14 PM

$12

4/3/2010 12:05:45 AM

$13

Does this take ECC or non-ECC? from the wiki site I was getting a mixture of both? and I guess a picture of the condition of the case would be a long shot?
