Building
Well, this is what I have to work with right now.
Packard Bell Case (with onloy 3 drive bays)
PB Mobo with PB Ram
Intel Pentium 75mhz with heatsink, no fan.
1.2gb hd, 540mb hd.
floppy and SCSI 6x cd rom.
Right now it is still looking for the IDE rom, which isnt there. It isnt in the BIOS set up. It can recognize the SCSI drive, but I still get a permission error. I assume that the IRQ addys might be wrong. I cant get into normal win95, but safe mode loads. Should I just wipe the HD clean, and reinstall the OS and start from scratch?
What would be the best things to do with the hardware I have? I am in need of a permanent monitor, becuase I am borrowing one of the ones from school.
What do you guys feel about custom buildingyour own machine?
Yes I know most of these parts are old, but I am not looking for a speed demon. Just something to run a few business type apps, and maybe linux as a second OS.
There are probably more out there that would find this interesting, so I am opening it up for talks.
Email me any ideas you have. It would be great to hear from you. Also, If you have Hareware that you dont want I would be glad to take it off your hands. Thanks.
