Suckit retro fiend!
These days even socket 775 and 1st/2nd gen core-i computers are getting decent money.
Unless you sniff out odd things and put them in the dishwasher.
Wow, Dell Optiplex Core 2 Duo for almost 2k? I've got 2 of them, both working, standing in a corner LOL

That thing needs a bit of peroxide. Works wonders for the yellowing. Would have fetched another 500.

Yep, that's the one part of software I miss... flip-flapping through a TurboC bible, or a Pascal programming manual to find out the exact syntax of the command you want to use...Because of the big **** it comes in. That is the collectable part
Nowadays you'll ask google, chatgpt, bing, etc, but they're not always 100%.
