How old is your oldest PC?
>this thing still boots
>made by TwinHead
>1274 years old
Thinkpad R30 from 2001.
Got a T23
Battery's fucked, of course, and I can't get it to boot off a CD or USB stick, but still technically runs.
Oh my god
>>54260776
My battery's fucked too. Only turns on while plugged in.
Got a dank P1 config back at home:
-P1 120MHz
-64 MB SDRAM
-Trio64 2MB VGA
-SoundBlaster ISAPNP
-2GB+3GB hard disk
boots up and works perfectly to this day. Win95 runs damn good with this much of RAM.
I have an NEC Versa 2405CD lying around somewhere. I don't recall where it went. I think it might have been made in '96 or '97. It was a hand-me-down from my dad who used it for work, but I didn't use it for much.
>>54260648
Dell Latitude CPx
>>54260648
Going to improve this old price of shit
>>54260830
Very impressive!
>>54260648
How did the meeting of pope Zachary with King Liutprand of the Lombards go?
A 386SX @ 8MHz base, 16MHz turbo from 1992. This is a horrible picture I posted of it here in 2013.
a dell demention e310. still boots.....
>>54260925
Oh wow that's a thing of beauty.
You have to donate it to a museum when you're done with it.
>>54260834
How would you even install it on that thing? Will it even run?
Will it run gentoo?
>>54260648
>windows 98 second edition 2 me
>2 me
wtf is this?
>>54260943
seconded
>>54260648
Does this count as a PC?
It's personal and it does compute stuff.
>>54260996
yeah. Use the i486 stage 3 and compile software on a modern PC, or use distcc.
Don't use the gentoo install iso for installation, use a much smaller system, and set up swap ASAP.
>>54261014
windows 98 ME second edition version 2
>>54261014
Some shit addition to the OS
>>54261037
Thanks for the tip
>>54261031
No
It's not IBM PC compatible
>>54261014
Probably one of those Russian hackjob distros.
Amiga 500+, works flawless and I don't have to bother with diskettes due to a Gotek USB floppy emulator.
>>54261103
Nah, pretty sure it was official
A T400, I don't keep old junk outdated garbage around
oh wait
A Pentium 133MHz laptop with 40MB of RAM (8MB soldered on board plus 16MB+16MB in expansion), 6GB HDD, 800x600 panel, sound card that emulates a sound blaster 16, 4x CDROM, Windows 98SE.
I would use Linux but the kernel alone takes up 30MB of RAM and old distros are practically worthless.
Plays Duke Nukem 3D, Doom 1&2, Descent and Quake quite nicely.
>>54261014
media edition I think
>>54260648
I have that exact one but I'm missing the power adapter
>>54261301
I don't believe you. Post pics
>>54260854
It still works very well to this day.
Apple 2, with both drives and the language card. Have 30 plus floppies scattered everywhere. Thing still works like a charm.
Damn is that thing old, do you even use it?
Old.
>>54260648
The oldest one I have lying around is an Apple PowerBook g4 from ~2003.
Installed Debian stable on it and used it as a home server for a while but replaced it with an RPi for power consumption/noise reasons.
Going to buy an Intel NUC kit when I get the money for my current project.
>>54261342
Hell no, just built a new budget gaming PC for r6s and whatever
>>54261409
thought so, do you know its specs? I want to laugh at its cpu clock
>>54261241
No, it wasn't. ME and 98 are two different OSes and there were no further 98 versions past "Second Edition".
don't remember, had 286, 386 486 ect
couple of these
>>54261431
Posted a pic earlier in the thread
>>54260648
Pentium II Compaq Armada, 366 MHz, 192 megs of RAM. It works okay with XP, but actually trying to browse the modern Web with Firefox on it is pretty chokey sometimes. Sometimes I use 2000/NT 4/98 or Linux on it.
>>54261508
I don't know why, but that keyboard looks incredibly sexy.
>>54261583
It's an okay keyboard, nothing special. It's obviously better than most modern laptop keyboards. The pointing stick is nice. The sound output is also insane. The last two laptops I have owned have very low speaker volume and you could make more noise with headphones. This thing is like a portable boombox and actually sounds good despite the small speakers.
Decided to go with TinyCore, just to keep things lag free
>>54261508
Do those keys glow in the dark? Do you still use it for anything in particular.
Very nice, none the less.
>>54261702
It looks brand new.
>>54261770
I took pretty good care of it, mostly used it at home
TinyCore up and running.
Sorry for rotated pictures, this camera is ass
Picked this motherfucker up at a thrift shop for $15.
>>54261930
Disable auto rotation, genius
I have a chance to get a t540p for $300, good deal?
Probably this. Used to have a bunch of Apple IIs
>>54262202
240X to the right of X200s
think it left the factory around '83
I've got a couple TRS-80 Model 1s and a PET but they aren't good for much and I rarely use them
>>54262198
No.
>>54262147
It is disabled, faggot
>>54262376
ok now stop taking pictures sideways you retard
My G4 tower. 2001 isnt really old, but its different. OS9 is fun at least. Going to install it on my titanium powerbook when i get it.
Libretto 100ct, 133Mhz Pentium MMX and 32MB of RAM. Thinking about replacing Win98(originally came with '95 when dad bought it) with Damn Small Linux
>>54262141
I also have a T41 I got off eBay for $10
Commodore 128 and Amstrad CPC, still working great.
>>54263348
I run NT4 on mine, rock solid when you get it set up and the large software base will give you good inter-operability with newer systems too.
Thinkpad T420
>>54261727
What's the external hard disk floppy for?
>>54263461
>Thinkpad users
CP
>>54263468
Lol enjoy ending up like that black sergeant that refused to decrypt. Who knows, maybe you'll become friends in prison.
>>54263461
What's it running? I assume Linux?
>>54263719
>filename
>>54263468
>not keeping your CP in a hotswappable ultrabay hdd
Idk how old it is but i want it to work
>>54261014
it's an interesting patch that keeps the majority of the good stable bits from 98se and updated bits from ME. it also has updated and bugfixed drivers for running on hardware built after 1999.
>>54263811
Why haven't you made it work yet then anon?
Just some generic Pentium 2 machine.
>>54263906
Because i have no idea how. I don't know shit about computer hardware, firmware, coding etc. I like these machines and know more than the average person I suppose, but still not nearly enough to fix any major issue
>>54263937
Seriously generic.
I love it.
I have a Libretto 100CT with a fucked screen and touch clit. It's running 98 as well so no USB either. It's pretty fucking useless.
>>54260648
Commodora 64, maybe some old Tandy "pocket computers"
>>54263958
>>54261321
This hits right in the feels.
>>54263961
>>54263811
>>54263958
>you need to know "coding" and "firmware" to put a CD in a tray and press any key
why the fuck are you even here???
do you just come here for the /v/ threads?
>>54264337
I also don't know hardware :')
I like to come here from time to time and admire the shiny stuff other anons post. I dont know where to start to be literate on this shit
>>54261321
i had a massive flashback of where i used to live when i was 4 to 11
i wanna cry now
>>54260648
I have an IBM 5150. It boots up, but it's not in the best condition. I'm working on restoring it, but I underestimated how hard it would be to do. It boots up to basic, but I currently have a dead memory expansion card, and no boot disks. My XT compatible keyboard also doesn't work.
The second oldest computer I have is a 2001 iBook G3.
>>54260830
is that dwm
>>54260648
Old Gateway (forgot the model)
AMD K6-2 OC'd with dipswitches to ~350mhz
256mb of SDRAM
PCI soundblaster Live!
40GB HDD (originally 8gb)
No graphics card because it's a shit workstation motherboard with PCI only, no AGP
Still boots to Win98 no problems
>>54263961
That's still sexy af phamalam.
NX7400
I found it in a e-waste pile it was F.U.B.A.R. at the time but the insides where still okay so i got a bugged NX7400 and just traded parts True D.I.Y
the DVD-RW drive i admit was the best find in it ( ijust love movies so comfy)
Its from 2006
its got
T2400 housefire intel 2.0 GHz non turbo
4GB of ram
244MB of video ram
and a PS3 120GB HDD from Fujitsu.
this model is limited to 120GB 5400RPM HDD only so it was really hard to find a part in my country as most of these where dead or broken.
I sold my over stuff a while ago
I have parts for a 2000 BenQ sitting around but none of my DDr1 sticks work in it :*(
>>54264421
if it boots to basic, you have a boot disc. just stop the autoexec from running basic.
ctrl-c
>>54264306
When I used this machine as a torrent box, I had 1.44MB of Feels on a floppy.
>>54264391
I hope they are happy memories.
>>54264450
lol, yes. I was using mostly suckless.org tools on that system. I wanted to duplicate a dmenu/xmonad system I had on my more modern system.
>>54260648
Install NetBSD
>>54265440
Sorry, no. Already got TinyCore - it does the job
My Toshiba T1200XE from 87'
Still boots and everything but has a bad HDD I've never replaced.
Also have a Epson Equity I+ from 88'
I need a pre-vga monitor to test it out though.
>>54260648
My dad's Toshiba Windows 3.1 laptop from like 1991
It was one of the first consumer laptops ever made
>>54260648
about four years.
I don't need to keep clutter around.
>>54260648
Toshiba 420cdt from 1997. Runs 98 like a champ with 48MB of RAM.
>>54264421
Really all you can do is get a bridge system or XTIDE controller at that point, or just use BASIC.
>>54265050
BASIC is in ROM on PCs and XTs, no DOS whatsoever.
>>54265531
>digital rebadge
neat
I've got a T1200+ that needs a 9V AC adapter
>>54265607
That sounds pretty cool. I remember 3.1 and checking out the World Wide Web using Prodigy.
dell latitude d520
Apple IIGS
I have terminals, character and morse code generators from the 70s if we're counting those.
IBM 5150 and P76 portable are prolly the oldest true "PC"s I own
>>54266322
>P70
those things are the shit, all I've got is an L40SX
Where's a good place to find old ass computers?
A flea market near me has an old HP laptop for $30 but looks best up.
>>54266559
recyclers
thrift stores
thrift stores that send shit off to recyclers
the internet
>>54266559
I have friends at municipal/industrial companies, but I've also had real good luck at school board auctions. If you can get an e-cycler to let you in, that's by far the best.
Thrift stores have become slim pickens these days, and eBay is a real shark tank. Craigslist still has a few finds here and there, but it's getting there too.
Macintosh SE/30
>>54266559
side of the road
dumpsters
>>54260648
I know there is an old PDP-8 in the garage somewhere... I should go check if it still boots.
And 2-3 Apple ][, maybe if I combine the parts that work I can build one that would boot to something.
>>54266355
L40s are cool too, I like the hybrid mouse/trackball they sold with
>>54263811
Try reinstalling the OS. From the looks of that BSOD it looks like Windows XP.
>>54266879
>tfw mine didn't come with that option
it included the carrying bag, power cord and manuals but I didn't get shit else
>>54263811
stop using windows, faggot
Try Lubuntu
>>54267226
>wanting a useless brick that does the same shit you do on your daily driver but slower
Would GNU/Linux even support the Live! Drive interfaces?
>>54264821
>HP
put it back in the e-waste pile
>>54266559
>HP
turn 360 degrees and walk away

>/v/ migrant's first samefag
it's a business class box, they're really no shoddier than a shitpad in my own personal experience
>>54260648
It has hardware for windows 98 but had windows 2000 installed on it. It still runs perfectly today.
>>54267384
i dont care if the one particular box is ok; HP is a terrible company
>>54267563
go cry a river about it on your blog or something
everything you hate about HP is from Compaq anyway
>>54260648
An old Toshiba from '89. Works just fine.
I have a few, but without going to the garage and checking out the models on the top of my head I recall thinkpad model 310ED, which I've had for pretty close to 20 years now.
I sold my daily driver few weeks ago and I'm waiting for my new thinkpad to get here, in the meantime I'm using my 2008 LG laptop.
an Insignia d400a from about 2004. (best buy brand of pc)
Still runs had lubuntu on it. nice little shitposting machine. was going to use it for a NAS, but idk how well that would work, as it only supports IDE hard drives.
Windows 95 and 2k are cute and all, but a simple linux or even BSD distro will let you do much more on your older machines.
I use a hp compaq nc6400. It's released almost 10 years ago.
>>54268135
This.
>>54261288
Windows was quite awesome back then running on such limited hardware. Wouldn't a custom built linux kernel cut ram usage?
I was just doing some reading on how I would even build a Windows 98SE. All I have is a Mobility HD 2600 laptop and a 8800GT AGP card. Hopeless, right?
hp 1000cx from 94-95. 8mhz 80186, ms-dos 5, cga screen, 2mb split between system ram and storage, pcmcia, over 20 hours off 2 AAs. i use it for telnet/ssh mostly
>>54261288
I think something like DSL or TC would still run on it
>>54266559
No one who knows will tell you, because then there will be more competition at that particular source. You need to get lucky through social connections, a thing I'm sure most of us here lack.
>>54270284
Except people have already told them. Did you even read the thread?
Not everyone's a hasidic neet like yourself
Trying to install Win98 on my Thinkpad 600X, but the Windows installer keeps crashing with "SUWIN caused segment load failure in USER.EXE" as well as others.
Tried disabling onboard RAM, disabling L2 cache, replacing hard drive, cd drive (to ensure that reading CD-Rs was not an issue), removing installed RAM and running on built-in, but Win95 and 98 installers crash with almost identical errors.
Also the machine has a problem where, after a soft reset, it cannot find it's hard drive.
>>54270268
DSL is old as shit and tinycore is practically useless.
1997 Toshiba Libretto 70ct running Windows 98 from a 32GB Compact Flash card. I got a PCMCIA network adapter to work on it at some point. I also have a ThinkPad from the same year, but it has a shitty screen and the CD drive doesn't work anymore.
>>54261014
>windows 98 second edition 4u :^)
Pic related. I normally upgrade every year, but I was extremely lazy last year. I guess I should just hold out for Haswell-E and Pascal to upgrade now.
>>54260648
>>1274 years old
I bet it's from Tang Empire, not a genuine byzantine build. The khazar merchants fooled you.
