My friend gave me his old computer... quite old... from the looks on the outside of the case, ran DOS at the most... I opened this baby up and couldn't believe my eyes!

RAM:
2 Sticks of 16MB EDO (HP 1818-6430)
2 Sticks of 32MB EDO (HP 1818-6883)

Processor:
Socket 8 Pentium Pro 200mHz (SL22V) 256k cache

Hard Drive:

Maxtor 1.6GB (71626A)

Also... all parts are fully operational (which also amazed me)

More details to come soon and all parts will eventually be for sale at my website when it is fully configured.

Hate to burst your bubble, but computers like that are a dime a dozen.  They're busy clogging up landfills at the moment.

Either way, I'm glad you found it.  I'm not sure how you're going to sell that stuff though, as most of it is essentially worthless.    The RAM might come in handy some day though.

My recommendation is to use it for an old DOS/Win 98 games PC yourself and don't worry about selling it.

I'm glad you're doing a service to the community.  Perhaps you should list them on the buy/sell/trade board when you're ready.
