Just as the title states. Two cheap SiS machines, surprisingly stable.
What I will tackle in the near future (the build will be slightly postponed due to slight stomach issues - am still recovering and my physical power (sorry if it sounds weird,English isn't quite my primary language) isn't the best at the moment. Especially with the diet I have to take at the moment.) are two SiS based machines.
The first one is a IPC rebranded Mitac 7521T. Why did I feel the need to tackle this machine? Well, just look at the specs:
CPU - P3 1100MHz Coppermine
RAM - 384MB RAM w/ 16MB share (I can select how much shared VRAM it can use, forgot what's the maximum amount though. Probably somewhere in the 64-128MB range?)
HDD - 60GB Fujitsu IDE HDD - originally had a 20GB HDD which I upgraded for more storage.
Chipset/GPU - SiS 630 (forgot which version is it, though I recall seeing an E so it could be a 630E)
OS - Windows 2000 Datacenter Server - was already on the HDD (for reasons unknown to me) and it seems to have been a clean install. Only needed the driver disc which I surprisingly managed to find on a generic drivers site. Yes, you have to burn a disc to get the drivers.
I haven't gotten much past installing some games on it (NFS II and Porsche 2000, Chicken Invaders 2, Bongo Boogie (a rather obscure Breakout styled game that I couldn't find without being cracked already) and Mario Forever) but I plan on adding some more stuff.
The PC build is also a SiS speciality, and with more cheapo galore:
MB - PCChips M810LR ver 8.0 (w/ Matsonic branded BIOS)
CPU - Duron 850MHz skt462
GPU - random Geforce 2 MX400 64MB AGP
RAM - 256MB PC133
PSU - Premier LC-C400ATX (what, you thought I'd install a quality PSU for a PCChips?
)
Case - some Deer-built "CompRace" case with only one removable panel (yes, some of Deer's cases were absolutely THAT cheap)
ODD - Lite-On DVDROM/CDRW (that hopefully works)
HDD - 10GB Seagate ST310211A
OS - Windows ME, 4.90.3000
Pictures coming soon, especially once I get the build done.
