Scat you will be happy to know I still have an 8100 desktop laying around.
Although came a time nothing could run on it anymore as it was Me OS.
I changed the hdd and loaded xp to get more life out of it. Not much good for anything today, difficult to run anything but internet, but still there.

8100... wow. Does it have Rambus RAM??

One of my old 8300s is still running at a friend's house.

Yes and found out that memory was very pricy to add on to. ( pricy in its day )

What a day! Volatility had gone back to the 2008 days. Yaaaaaaaaaaa!

Haven't seen these kinds of rippy moves for a long time. Glad that my boxes and the laptop held up during market raids. If there is a good time to stress-test your equipment... next couple of weeks should be the time! :D

Dow dropping 600 for a day... that would trigger some resonance moves... I will be partying like Twenty... Oh Oh Eight... :D
 
Scat ... for the good times :)

my Dell 8100 pulled apart to replace the hdd and install XP os.
These cases have the p/s hung from top and get in the way so I have to swing it on a hinge and remove it. Look how clean I have this inside !
This image was taken with an old cell phone some years ago.

Looks like the 8100 was before the "clam shell" cases... which were of much better design.

I am not sure what a Dell clamshell case is, but this splits down the middle with a push of a button after unlocking the panel.
Would that be a Dell clamshell case ?
