DOS???? I'm not familiar with those. If you don't mind could you post a pic of it? Probably know what it is but can't put an image to the name

Kind of gives you and Idea of what using a DOS set up was like. The next pic is MS word for DOS

Oldest one is: AMD Athlon 500 + Asus K7M (Rev. 1.04) + NVidia Riva TNT + etc. = 12/1999

 

It still works, I've tested it but as I'm using it's case and the other case has my Athlon XP 1800+ in it (and my Roland JV-1080 on top of it), it's sits in it's original cardboard box.

Got a dual P3 1Ghz here i bought few years back for 12,50 euros. Still works and meets your criteria. However it does have some blown up components unfortunately which make it a very unstable PC. Always intended to replace them but i have no idea where to get components or which ones i would need :(

I have no signature

Not quite sure how old it is...

It has a ATI GPU from 2001 and has a Socket A motherboard.

I have an old keyboard that isn't even PS/2, it's the old big round plug they used before it. And brand new actually.

If you want my attention, quote meh! D: or just stick an @samcool55 in your post :3

I have a parallel connector for a 1992 plotter. Other than that, it would be my ATI X1900XTX 512mb.

An Intel CPU you solder on or something. It is so dirty and old though that I cannot figure out which it is.

I have a 200 MHz Pentium with MMX laying around here somewhere... and a 1 GB HDD.  Yes, 1 GB, not 1 TB.

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.
