Shots of the Pentium 133 and the Hungtech PSU (which surely makes Doug Dodson facepalm for not trademarking that brand name first) are pictured in my previous post.Īhhh… the M Technology R533. I’ll start taking bids for this case straightaway, starting at $100. You just can’t beat a golf ball power button or a case badge with three shooting stars that says “Computer” in Gigi font. But a couple of you requested that I go ahead and post pics, so here goes. As I mentioned in my last post, there’s nothing to swoon over here.

All that is left of this first PC of mine is a pile of parts. At least I know that I could recover this system if I really wanted to, right? “DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER” The PSU fan spun up, the speaker reported a friendly single beep, the monitor displayed the American Megatrends boot screen, components were recognized one at a time, and then…

So I put the power supply back together, re-connected all the power cords, the 16GB Fujitsu hard drive, and the speaker so I could listen for that beep at power on. “What if I could’ve suffered with that system for another year or two if only I had found and re-connected that one wire?” Hmmm… But when I found a barely-connected wire on the switch, I thought, “what if that’s all it was?” I suppose I wasn’t being honest when I said “I don’t have the desire to troubleshoot it.”Īfter initially failing to get a response from my 13-year-old PC, I planned to just disassemble it and give away or dispose of the parts.
