I acquired a used 2350 from a client who got a new machine. It was still working well, so I opened it up to do a recap and psu replacement. It is a 2.2 GHz P4, 100 FSB, i845 chipset, nothing particularly special.
Surprise, surprise... the board is populated with Rubycon MBZ. In a Dell. Go figure.
Even more surprising was opening up the 200w Mitec PSU and finding more Rubycon. The box is at least 5 years old and powered up 24 hours. No bulgers, no nothing. I'm still tossing out the PSU, due to age, limited power, and 80mm fans.
I'm reinstalling XP Pro on this machine and giving it to my rocker daughter.
