That’s a beautiful tower! And that model m keyboard! I’m jealous.
I don’t like that model M because it has Windows keys.
Good eye. I stand corrected.
You could remove the icon and put a picture of a keycap on it to denote it as a meta key
It will, but you’re gonna need to hit the turbo button…
I miss the days when computers were real MACHINES. With the CLACK of a fat button humming and buzzing to life. The whole experience was so different with much more audiovisual and haptic feedback. love it.
Some hard drives though man… like freaking tractors. I remember my first Quantum Fireball 3.2GB… it was the noisiest thing in the building.
To be fair, that has not changed much. I have a Datacenter HDD in my desktop system and the first time powering that thing up sounded like it just shredded the plates and i’m going to be bombarded with shrapnels. But in normal operation, it makes a rather soothing (at least for me) clackety-clack sound. My other, normal desktop HDD not making any noise apart from spinning up is something that i find rather irritating tbh.
You got used to the clackety-clack, that’s why it annoys you 😂.
It is true though. When I had my PC running 24/7, I couldn’t go to sleep if it was off (for some reason 😂).
i wanna build a pc in that case.
That’s gonna be a loooong build 😂.
Well, if it’s good enough to host GTA Online, it should be good enough to run GTA 6.
Ah, the sounds of my early teenage years
Mine as well ☺️.
I don’t care much about gta6, but this pc is a beautiful historic piece. I would love to own something like this
Honest question, what would you do with it? Would you use it? If so, for what?
Frist thing that comes to mind is write a hello world program XD
I’d probably play around with the OS too. Maybe buy a book to help me explore all the “new” features. I recently found an old palmtop computer with an old school touch screen on my parent’s attic. I had lots of fun figuring out how that thing worked and now I’m trying to tweak it.
Sopwith, csnipes, scorched earth, the classic worms (before it went shitty), so many neat games
The play mechanics were a lot more frustrating back then, however. Games were punishing
I can even smell it!
Love those big clunky buttons
You could probably play Doom so that’s a total win.
Meeh, you can play doom on your shoes, that’s no measure.
How many floppy disks does GTA 6 come with?
Gta5 download size is around 90GB, and Rdr2 download size is around 150GB, so let’s assume GTA6 growth in filesize is the same percentage as gta5 to rdr2, which is around 167%, GTA6 will be around 250GB. From a quick google, the largest capacity floppy is 2.8MB, then it will require 91,428 floppy discs to fit just the installation file.
Have fun swapping it!

No you need a scroll wheel.
Only if you delete system32
There is already no system32.
now I’m curious what the most powerful MS-DOS machine ever made is
That pling though 🤤
