    Not a bad idea, If I can get an OS thatll play nice on it I might use it for that and do another cheap build or some wholesale thin client for my sibling to dig into.

    I started poking around last night with the drive docked to see if there was anything worthwhile to save. It apparently has had windows 95 on it before so I assume you went in the right direction there. Aside from that I formatted that and installed puppy linux and it ran but just barely. It didnt perform well but it worked still. I think I just need to clean out the chassis and such and see where that gets me. Thanks for the suggestions. If puppy linux fails to perform, ill try the other linux distros that were suggested.

    I have more than a few Pis, a good bit of a performance gap between the two. Ill try the three OSs that were suggested tonight and see where I get with them.

    Hence why its in this sub.

    Looks like I was mistaken on the minimum recommended specs for bodhi linux. Thought it wanted 256MB of memory. Ill check it out tonight.
  7. Napier13403
    Is there a version old enough that the minimum suggested specs work out that you know of? Would appreciate the help.
  8. Napier13403
    It depends on the suggestions I get for an OS really. I do have a younger sibling I may throw an OS on this and let him have his way with it. I started on old IBM mainframe systems like an AS400 and that got me into technology.

    Dont wanna throw it away.

    Any possibilities of Linux or anything not to do with Windows?

    So I've recently found an old Dell computer that supports at most 128MB of memory and basically has a rock for a CPU. So far what I know is it's running an older Pentium 166MHz CPU, currently has 48MB of memory and a 1GB hard disk that I have replacements or upgrades for if necessary. I want to find a simple use for this computer so it doesn't go to waste and doesn't go to a recycling heap. Does anyone have any suggestions regarding an OS for this thing?

    I'm thinking about getting the R9 295x2 and putting it in my Corsair Carbide Spec-01 chassis. I cant find out if you can mount a 120mm rad in the FRONT of this chassis though. I did manage to wiggle in an H100i in the top of the case so I cant mount it in the rear 120mm fan area. Any ideas?

    I'm already pushing what I have. Can't hurt to add more! Always wondered about how they rated this, and sorry Linus, but I'm still for Fractal Designs new advertising concept.
