Old gear is good gear. Nice that it's still working.

Best regards, Karl

    Nice that it's still working.

    I bought it dirt cheap as a manufacturer's refurb.

    A couple of years ago one of the original 2GB dimms died, so I replaced the motherboard (but kept the original processor) so I could fit 2 4GB dimms.

    And about a month ago I replaced the power supply because it was getting flaky.

    And I've just ordered another HDD and an SSD; so all that's left of the original machine is the case, dvd and cpu. But yeah! Still works :)
