"The Beast" - 2005 dell PC

OK, so basically i dug up my parents old PC from the closet under the stairs to check what exactly did it have in it back in those childhood days of professor fizz wizzle and nitrome. And i thought i might as well share it with this community, i ended up with the specs below, and i want you to rate it and guess the price for this amazing piece of hardware from 2005 that i dubbed "the beast" (Sorry for no pictures i may provide some in a follow up post as it is not currently in my possession)

 

Specs:

- CPU: Intel Pentium 4 @ 2.8ghz locked (1 core, 1 thread)

- GPU: ATI Radeon X300se, 128MB DDR VRAM

- MBD: Unknown, i couldn't find out what this was but by the look of it it seemed to be made by dell specifically for this PC

- PSU: 460W Cooler master, probably the most expensive thing in the whole system

- RAM: 2x 256MB DDR2 sticks @ 400mhz (Total of 526MB)

- Storage: 1x 95GB HDD @ 3200RPM (OS) & 1x 135GB HDD @ 3200RPM (general storage)

- OS: Windows XP

- Case: Dell, made for this PC

- Other: 2x Optical drives, (one is broken as i remember trying to run Lego Indiana Jones on it)

Board is almost certainly made by Foxconn, fyi.

Brands I wholeheartedly reccomend (though do have flawed products): Apple, Razer, Corsair, Asus, Gigabyte, bequiet!, Noctua, Fractal, GSkill (RAM only)

Wall Of Fame (Informative people/People I like): @Glenwing @DrMacintosh @Schnoz @TempestCatto @LogicalDrm @Dan Castellaneta

This is a cool find. My dad had a similar (if not same) spec machine back in the day. I wish he still had it around, would have loved to play around with it!
