Hey all,
my friend's grandpa was going to throw away a ton of stuff a while back, and instead he gave it all to me :). here is what I got: (sry no pics yet)

1 ASUS MEW-VM socket 370 mobo (POSTS with HP logo)
1 ASUS mobo (forgot the name of it) ^^^^^^^^^^^
1 Socket 370 Intel Celeron 433MHz processor :laugh:
2 56k modems
1 ethernet card
1 hp pavilion xe783 case (using it right now in my rig)
1 hp pavilion 4563Z case (using it for my rebuilt HP
1 hp cd writer plus
2 hp floppy drives
1 iomega zip 100
1 10GB Quantam Fireball hard drive
1 30GB Western Digital Caviar hard drive
1 80 watt power supply (it's fried up)
1 100 watt power supply (it's too weak)
3 64MB PC100 RAM sticks
1 HP Pavilion S50 15" CRT monitor (it's ok...really small...only goes upto 1024 x 768 @ 60)

here's a screen shot of the CPU-Z

Use that one to blow up or something... Give the cpu 5 voltsm take the heatsink off, clock it to 2GHz, and watch it blow up

I cant do that one...there is nothing in BIOS to do any volt mods, or anything. It's an HP board. Besides, I won't do anything to it except use it for [insert lame reason here]

edit - can't take off the heatsink. it is like stuck on the cpu and i cant get it off.

update: tried to do something to it and i get the blue screen of death! lol.

edit- I said "screw this" so I formatted my drives (im using the 30GB as master and 10GB as slave) and put ME on it. It's going great now. I Was going to throw 98 on it but I couldnt find the disk

@ aximbigfan
why would you say that about this pc?

my friend's grandpa was going to throw away a ton of stuff a while back, and instead he gave it all to me :)

the last time I knew, GAVE meant to give away. You don't have to troll like you do in all of my threads.

BTW- I don't have only 3 pc's ya know? I have like 7.
