2009 – current
2009 received a dell optiplex pentium II tower I think the GXA or GX110 (the similar looking gx200 had rdimm’s so it’s not that)
- 256 Mb SDRAM
- PII 400 Mhz
- 4,3 Gb HDD + 10 Gb HDD
- on board graphics, sound, network and usb
- Lot’s of pci and isa expansion ports
This particular machine has a lot of history. It changed a lot of hands trough a good friend’s family, time during which I fixed it a few times (they had it since 2005). At some point our friend finally upgraded and gave me the machine. My mother used it for a few months until I got the time and parts to upgrade her to a better machine.
November 2011
To save space and better use the old monster I upgraded it with various parts I had:
- PIII 450Mhz,
- 512Mb SDRAM
- 20Gb and 40Gb hdd
- Aditional network and usb cards
Now it’s doing duty as a test server, running nagios, etc. Also runs an old scsi card with which I recovered some data from old drives at some point.
