today i vised a computer stor that started 2 monthes ago. i went in looking for the AT power supply (see "486 baby!"). they had none, but recommened i find a used case, then another employee said they had something... an incomplete gateway select 700:
they removed the hd
it had:
no ram (sdram x3, max 768mb)
slot a athlon classic 700mhz
nvidia riva tnt2 64 gpu
linksys 10/100 modem
ensinio audiopci
56k modem
floppy drive
48x cdrom drive
goofy mounted newton power atx psu 200w
this thing had a 120mm fan attached to a duct and a massive cpu heatsink for cooling.
case has room for:
4 hd's
2 ext 3.5 bays
3 5.25 bays
board was full atx. had 3 usb ports (no s***), ps2, parallel port, 2 serial ports, 1 agp 2x, 5 pci slots.
they wanted $25, i thought it was a deal, ill give the lady one of my old cases since this will fill its place...
the case needs some epoxy- non-mobo access sidepanel is plastic with a small crack... front bezel has cracks in the corner and a broken bottom clip... fully functional, some sheet metal scrap and epoxy will fix it...
the hd's sit on edge, parallel to font vents.
has spot for 80mm fan in back
i think i could dremel it if i needed a new psu for it... the box is smaller with a smaller bolt pattern. i think my last older gateway (g6 w/ 233 PII) had the same mounts.
i think it will be a good "buntu" box. i have 512mb of ram in it now, and the cpu clips were a PITA to use, so i used some extra ones i had.
while i was there, i also bought a promise utra66 ide card for $5.
was the card/computer a deal?
ps- i vised the shop next door.. been there forever, but the employees were snobs... they had a lin-lin adapter (coppermine to tulatin voltage adapter) and a s370 sloket in the recycle bin... if they were nice to me (and not told me to get a new computer), then i would have offered money for them... the lin-lin had a few bent pins, but they looked fixable. they would have made more off me purchasing them than the gold in the contacts. are't lin-lin adapters rare?
