Time to make it run on 8GB of RAM I guess...

Older machines are great for basic tasks. I used to have some decrepit old laptop that couldn't connect to wifi no matter what, so I just used it to write a story. Now where's the hard drive...

I'm so happy that people are proud to show off their old, obsolete tech and parts; it makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.
I was born into the "newer" generation but prefer the tech from the "older" generation.

I say SSD, because 16GB of 2666MHz RAM is PLENTY fast. An SSD reduces boot time since the computer doesn't have to wait for the system to load. 
 
In the end, if you really want to, you can upgrade your RAM. But at least try overclocking it, to save yourself a bit of money.

The Core 2 series are like the i5's of yore... reliable, decent, common.

Thanks
 
Ah I forgot to mention a red graphic card (with X800 and Ti4800), it's PowerColor Radeon HD 3850 AGP
 
And I have other parts in my collection, very lot but I don't do picture all my collection because, it's too many
 
But I already made my inventory's list

I love how the RAM is labelled Athlon X4. Who knew that the RAM was secretly the CPU? (Joke. I know where the CPU actually goes)

How the heck does that thing cool the GPU? Isn't the fan supposed to be on the other side!? (Also, that cute little heatsink strip for the VRAM modules. :)

or instead of all that, just borrow someone's cell phone for a bit

Literally a nightmare.
 

Paid 20 quid to have a repair shop plug in a sata cable because I knew nothing about troubleshooting.

Working, and USEFUL are two different things.  I have tons of old working technology...even one of those laptops from WAYYYY back in the day with DOS in black and orange.  Boots right up, needs a CMOS replacement but that doesn't stop it from operating.
 
The oldest, useful in my daily life tech - my OLD smart phone - it does everything I request of it so I wont replace it until it doesn't - an LG VM670
