If you're having problems you're either holding the phone wrong or you have tiny girl hands.
Well my childrens grandmother

As soon as we walk in


Guess we will check the attic
High Resolution 1024x768, this one had the speakers that hooked to the side and later caught on fire. Sadly the box only has junk in it


Ohh fuu. Pentium 60, 8mb ram, double speed cd. Had that awesome packard bell navigation software. You could even buy different colored trim and customize your pc.
My grand mother bought this for us for $2500. Played doom so much better than the 486/66 my buddy had gotten a few weeks prior. Guess poor people just dont get doom in high resolution. Box was filled with dot matrix printouts of who knows the gently caress, i wasn't going to stick my hand in an nest of brown recluses.



These have to be worth dozens of dollars on ebay


Lite brite full of spiders


The computer i left behind. the best case, with the best power supply, and the best motherboard ever made. Used to have more ram and a period correct Geforce card.


Where the magic happens. A7n8x-e deluxe. Dolby digital all the things


Thermalright SLK900U $55, heatsink only. Ballin. Note the motherboard heatsink mod to make it fit.

computer doors are good because they make a less cluttered look, and when was the last time you thought about physical media or the reset or power button???

The sonata was supposed to be super quiet so it had massive 120mm fans, heavy metal doors, and i guess a cd cover door.
