All this talk of SETI Classic, then I go extricate an old case and find an almost complete PC inside. Plug in power and it boots. The event log says it last had power on June 20th 2004. :eek:

This might be why it's been unused for so long...

Katmai was released in 1999 and as shown used 250nm. Now we're just starting on 45nm. Just imagine how big/heat producing today's processors would be at 250nm :eek:

Anyway, once I'd sorted out some keyboard issues so I could use it, this revealed itself...

Remember that? :D

Sold? I'm surprised you got away with that. :eek:

Mind you, I hear RDRAM can go for a fair packet. Unfortunately there's only 256MB in this system.
 
The PC was turned on to check it's health before being dismantled for the last time.

I guess I could offer the parts here if anyone's really desperate. :D
