I was hoping to be able to use some parts from this computer to troubleshoot another old PC, but since the parts I needed to check aren't compatible I'm listing it. I'm located in Simpsonville, SC and would consider shipping.

This is a custom-built PC from 1998. Here are the parts and specs :
ASUS SP97-V motherboard (max RAM : 256 MB FPM or EDO)
Western Digital Caviar 14300 4311.9 MB Hard Drive
Windows 95 OS
32 MB RAM (2 empty slots)
AOpen CD-932E-AKU CD-ROM (tested working)
TEAC FD-235HF 3.5'' floppy drive (untested)
AOpen PT75 1.44 2MB video card
Creative Sound Blaster 16 CT4180
233 mhz Intel Pentium w/mmx processor
4 PCI slots (2 unused)
3 ISA slots (2 unused)

All it needs needs a new 2032 coin battery. I replaced the old power supply with a 300W and it runs without issue now. Checked out the CD-ROM with an old game and it worked fine.

Comes with working 5-pin din Acer 6511-TW keyboard.

I would consider selling it as it is now. The hard drive in it may need replacing as it gives a no fixed disk present message when I tried doing fdisk on it. Have an unused Windows 95 upgrade package I could include with it as well.
