I walk into this computer selling/repairing store and saw this stack of various computers. Most were scrapped out P4 systems, and then I saw the back of this one and saw an AT keyboard port. It was the only computer with all its innards and expansion cards in it.
I asked the guy whats up with that pile of computers and he said that he was gonna recycle them, so I asked how much he would sell me one for. He said that he couldn't sell them (aww...) but he could give them away (YESSS!!). So I took off with the computer with the AT style motherboard, and it turns out that it is a Pentium 133 with 32mb of ram and a 4gb hard drive. It has a ceramic cpu (cool, that's interesting compared to my other CPUs)
So I look at the motherboard and its an Asus motherboard, and it has AT and ATX power connectors on it, which is weird and cool at the same time.
So I put DOS 6.22 on it, so it could be a dos machine, and my other pentium mmx 200 could be a win98 machine, and the sound card (an ISA aztech of some sort) will do sound blaster sounds without drivers. thats really odd, I thought dos was a real turd about drivers.
well, wanted to show off the awesomeness that is a free computer
Edit: also It has one slightly bulging cap below the CPU, its through hole soldered so it will be easy to replace when I get to it, but for now it works.
