I got Old Hardware

So.. I got the PC tower out earlier that was doing nothing more than sitting in the cupboard collecting dust and decided to give it a poke about.

Turns out I got this old hardware from the year 2000 and before; a Pentium 3 (800MHz) with a fan-less heat sink, 256MB of Infineon PC100 memory, a dead (rip) 10MB hard drive, a floppy drive and a CD drive.

I was wondering what on earth I'm supposed to do with this considering it ain't really useful. Perhaps LTT would be interested in making a video on it? If that's the case I'd be happy to discuss with them regarding getting the parts over to them (keeping in mind I'm in the UK)

Wow, that HDD is really out of place for the rest of the hardware. I assume it was reused from some much earlier build. To be honest, I can't imagine how a 10 MB HDD could even be used in 2000. Even back then the OS alone would more than fill it many times over as it is, never mind other files and programs. For reference I remember using a 8 GB HDD on an original Pentium machine.
