when i threw my visualize c200 in the trash after years of maintaining my own patches to keep bad linux software running on hp-ux i decided against ever again going into old hardware obsessions

yeah that visualize c200 would have been a cool lil box with cde and internet explorer 5 on it

the ultimate 90s machine

they were not that lil' really, it weighed 50+ lbs and had something like half a dozen fans all going at full tilt at all times

tbqh it doesn't really fit the thread that well, since when i had it it it wasn't yet that out of date, actually still fast for some workloads (cache-bound things mostly), and had more memory than any other machine i owned (1.5 gigs iirc). was the reason why i attempted to keep it going along with more linux-like stuff, but it was never terribly useful, hp-ux was not a very fun hobbyist thing to work with ;p

also never actually got the visualize card to do anything sane, iirc it only actually accelerated on the weirder of its video outputs and i never got it hooked up to anything
