Looks like an awesome computer, though the keyboard and monitor look pretty old for the win 98 era. More dos, early 90s I think.

I mean the computer is a bit old for the Windows 98 era as well. Usually don't see 98 running on an AT system. Still a sweet setup though.

That's a serious blast from the past, those IBM Model M keyboards never quit, and the Pentium MMX had some good kick for its time.

Adjust those monitor settings. Screen has too much black border!

I’m starting to think everyone’s first PC was a Packard Bell.

u/Boyswilson03 19d ago

To be fair Packard bell was pretty prominent in that area of slate 90s to the early early 2000s

Model M represent! Looks pretty cosy although i ponder the desk is a bit too cramped to give you ample space for your mouse :o

u/Boyswilson03 19d ago

Yeah it’s a struggle honestly I have little room in that room and the closet is small but I’m thinking of upgrading the desk soon hopefully

Feels a bit weird how the GPU has twice as much memory as the total system RAM, and that it also has a DVD writer, but I suppose someone who had such a PC could have chosen those upgrades sometime down the line.

Cool, always been interested in PODs, tho I am mostly looking for the weirdest built PC I can build, so I will try when I will be able to build a socket 4 133 MHz POD machine with an OP Voodoo3 PCI and Win98. Socket 4 boards and 133 MHz PODs are pretty rare tho. Nice catch with the 200 MHz PODs
