AtariLeaf Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 I wasn't sure exactly where to post this but its a pretty cool find. Aside from classic video games, I hit the thrifts looking for old computers to run my DOS stuff. I usually find good 486 stuff from time to time or very early run Pentium like a 66mhz. Today I found a computer for $5.00. I always check to be sure its got a SVGA, it did. It had a sound card and a decent looking CD-rom so I picked it up. I get it home and turn it on this is what I got Pentium 150Mhz 32 Meg ram 2.4 Gig drive ATI Rage Pro II video Sound Blaster Pro Win 98 I haven't checked the CD-rom speed but come on! For $5.00 Canadian! This is almost as good a find a nice box of Atari carts in the corner of a thrift. Remember, I said "almost" This will be a great system for my 3 year old daughters Winnie the Pooh games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 It doesn't get much better than that (unless it's free), awesome find and nice that you have a use for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceCold Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 That really is a good find. My best old computer finds have been a 386 with a 650MB hard drive(huge for a 386 ) for $2 and a couple 14 inch monitors for like $1 or $2 a piece. But none of that stuff is anywhere NEAR as great as your find, congratulations! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
