Athlon XP on the side of the road

Last night, S and I were walking to meet some friends at the crepe place when I spotted a black mini-tower with a "free" sign taped to it. I looked at it and it had been hand-built and had case fans with LEDs. I figured that's kind of interesting. So I picked it up and brought it home.

Needless to say we were late to meet the friends. But the next day (today), I took a better look at the machine (i.e. I plugged it in and turned it on). It's an Athlon XP 1800+ with 640 MB of RAM (or something like that). I figure I'll slap one of the half-dozen hard drives I have sitting around in it and use it as a spare build machine or something along those lines. The things you find on the side of the road....

Three things:

  1. New comments get placed in a "draft" status and will NOT show up on the site until I explicitly approve it. Sometimes that happens within 24 hours.
  2. I reserve the right to reject/remove inappropriate comments.
  3. Sometimes I'll reply to a comment directly in email--so make sure your email address is correct.
