My Old Computer

Introduction

The other day I purchased an old computer. It reminded me of one I had in high school, I thought I would document some of the things I plan to use it for. It booted and loaded Windows 2000, the owner mentioned only using it for a single task, there is a very loud coil whine sound when switching on the power supply.

Hardware Specifications

Software

The computer booted into Windows 2000. The CMOS battery had failed so there is an error on startup. I've used Drive Snapshot to take an image, and DriverBackup! (1.0.3) to take a copy of all drivers.
