I had a friend drop off an old relic of a computer. It is a 486DX I think it is a 33mhz machine. It has 16mb ram, 7 ISA slots, 210mb hard drive, a 3 1/4, and a 5 1/2. It only has DOS 6.20 :shock: , anyways just something to play with I guess. I just thought that something this old would be good to mention. Then again there is plenty to salvage. If anybody has any ideas on what could be done with it just let me know. There is still about 100mb of free space on the hard drive. Enjoy :D

for some reason I endup with old computers ever once in awhile. I have another paper weight (old pc) that had a 4 disc cdrom. amazing that both of them actually still work. I was thinking about doing a competition and have people suggest something to do with them. :twisted: Maybe some destruction :twisted:

server :lol: , it takes them a good 5 minutes to boot. Maybe a very basic server that is just there and not doing to much. Remember one has a 210mb hard drive and the other I think maybe has a 500 mb hard drive. Actually both have win 3.1 on them. :D

Not with a right angle grinder, :twisted: that's 10,000 rpms of steel cutting power :twisted: , if it cuts the frame of a 52 GMC, 1/8 steel is nothing. A 3/16 steel beam takes me a little longer to cut :D

The angle grinder will take off the big pieces and then I would use a file for close up detail, if I was going to put a design on the case. Then maybe sandblast the case and then put some paint on it. :D
