Re: Post your system.......
Never? NEVER?!
Okay, now you gave me a little bit of motivation with this. ![Group](https://cdn.badcaps-static.com/images/smilies/dancingsmilies.gif)
As promised, specs and *a* picture of my HP![Biggrin](https://cdn.badcaps-static.com/images/smilies/biggrin.png)
PC: HP Pavilion 8756c
CPU: Pentium 3 E Coppermine @ 850 MHz and 100 MHz FSB (BIOS incorrectly reports 866 MHz lol)
Motherboard: ASUS MEW-AM, socket 370, Intel i815 Northbridge and 82801AA Southbridge
RAM: 384 MB of RAM @ 100 MHz (1x 256 MB PC133 and 1x 128 MB PC100 Infineon)
HDD: IBM Deskstar DTLA-305030 (30 GB, 5400 RPM) @ UDMA Mode 2/ Ultra ATA33 (motherboard won't go above that, even with 80 pin IDE cable)
Graphics: onboard Intel i815 (2 MB VRAM and limited to 24-bit only
)
Audio: onboard Intel audio with TDA1517 output chip (the best part about this PC really)
Optical Media: none (had a CD-ROM and CD-RW drives, but I removed them)
PSU: Lite-ON 188 watt PSU with only a 4A rating on the 12V rail.
OS: a messy install of Windows XP SP2 (found it like this, PC is a dumpster find.)
Fans: 1x Delta 80mm fan (CPU/system cooling), 1x Panaflo 80mm fan (Lite-ON PSU)
Other: stock (and beat up) case, Mitsumi 3.5" Floppy drive, cheap no-name $1 fan controller for the CPU fan (because that Delta 12V 0.3A fan is a real screamer. I tried it on 27V once and it was a scary thing to see
.) AND, a custom duct for the CPU fan (the original one took the CPU fan really far away from the CPU heatsink and also resonated and made terrible noise)
Monitor: Samsung SyncMaster 955DF 19" CRT monitor @ 1024x768 x85 Hz
Keyboard: trusty old Logitech Delux 104 PS/2
Mouse: Logitech M-S34 ball PS/2 mouse
Now I can't for the life of me even remember when I found and started using this PC, but I think either late winter or early spring in 2009. Hard drive at that time had 22,028 power-on hours on the clock and 20 bad sectors. Now it is at 24,992 power-on hours and 21 bad sectors. I'm planning on retiring it when it hits 3k hours (i.e. 25,028 hours) or thereabouts - and all these hours are actually me sitting in front of the computer. Very few times I left it running without me being on it.
Anyways, here's a picture below.

When I retire it, I will try to take some shots of the PSU as well. All I remember about it is that it had huge Panasonic HFQ caps on every rail. And the 12V rail is always about 11.8V
