256 megs of RAM is a lot of memory for a 700 mhz Celeron.
Seriously? Who blew that much money on RAM with just a Celeron proc? Clearly built by a n00b.
Bigger number better, sold to you by a specialist at the store
Given the age of the thing it's more like 256mb ram. Which actually would have been good for the era. 256gb HDDs of the era were a bit more rare. I recall in 2008 a 750gb drive cost me a lot, let a lone 2 of them to run raid0.
I remember when I spent a months income to upgrade my home machine from 2 to 18 megabytes. That was more than all our companies' servers together...
That looks like the exact computer I had as a teenager in the 90s lol
It is the exact same one. It has come back to haunt you.
Looks like my old HP Pavilion with Windows ME.
Are there motherboards that can take a 700 MHz processor, and also 256 GB of RAM?
Fuck no
I thought as much.
You just download the extra 255.7GB, duh.
Case could make for a sick sleeper build. RGB would light up behind that front plastic alright and you could swap out those trays with some sweet display panels.

Unfortunately probably not; these pre-built cases often are proprietary and won't fit any kind of motherboard you could buy off the shelf. As well as other weirdness like the PSU cage, not being able to remove anything on the front (including the disk drives), etc.
That's nothing an angle grinder, some scrap sheet metal and a tap and die set can't fix. I fit a stupid amount of watercooling into a really shitty case one time doing this.
"Turns and works normally" sounds like what someone would say to convince me this isn't the Zoolander of PCs
What do you mean my pc turns on and works normally. On a seprate note, How do you guys control the fire that comes out?
YOU CAN PLAY DEER HUNTER ON THIS BAD BOY!
"Can run chrome"
Will it run crysis?
Someone likes Gentoo!
I run it on my t440p with libreboot! It takes a while to compile, I didn't update for 3 months, and it took a day 1/2 to finish minus the compile times, Its rock solid and does everything i want it to do, plus the freedom of gnu/linux and libreboot are a major plus.
I also use Gentoo and I can vouch that it's reliable with the right configuration. I just wish it has a stable version. Never on the Arch Linux level of breaking things tho.
You could burn so many .mp3 CDs with that thing!!!
One word Limewire
Put Gentoo on it, Gentoo user
Play quake 3
