Computer odesy, I went for broke.
#9
RE: Computer odesy, I went for broke.
My first Frankencomputer was an 80286-16 running Windows 2.1. The 386 chip was out by the time I built it but I couldn’t afford one of those. So I just built one from hand me downs. It just went to recycling a couple of years ago although it hadn’t been plugged in for at least a decade prior to that.

I’ve got a seven year old HTPC that I was considering upgrading, but I was looking somewhere in the ballpark of $1000 for a processor, motherboard, memory, video card and drives so I just got one of these instead. Sorry Darwinian, but I used the Windows 7 key from my last laptop to for an OS…
