My friend, had not opened his case ever on a Dell. He finally does after I tell him that running Win98 on 64mb of ram is useless. He upgraded to Windows XP and he still stayed at 64mb, don't ask me how he survived. Anyways, I found a good deal after rebate for a 128mb stick of RAM in the sunday flyers and he finally got it. His dad told him to take the side of the case off and he did. He found a spider web inside. It was pretty funny when he told me although he never did find the spider that made it.

How do you survive on a 400mhz cpu? That might even be a little slow for word editing and internet browsing? Or are you jsut used to it?

I remember when Quake came out. We wondered what sort of super machine could run it at 800x600.

It would have to be like a 400MHz with like, 32 or 64MB of memory! :Q

Lol I have two:

We have a HP 8240. @ the time the Geforce3ti500 was the hot card and I just got a Geforce2 GTS-V. So I took out my old savage4 in my rig and decided to stick it in that HP b/c it can't do 1204*768 @ 16bit color (only 256) (bought in 1998) I opened the case and it was perfectly clean and I was very amazed....it was like a dust fairy came and cleaned it every night! Not even dust on the fan or the PSU!

The other was my rig since 1998. When I got that Geforce2 the last time I had actually opened up the case was atleast 2 years to stick in a 20gig Maxtor to replace a stupid Western Digital that FUBAR'd on me. I remember gloating to my friends how silent my 550mhz k6-2 was - I opened the case and there was SOOOOOOO much dust everywhere. The reason it was so silent was that the fan didn't spin because of the dust! It had so much dust that I couldn't stick in the card for fear of jamming dust in the AGP slot so I took it to a local computer shop and paid 40 dollars for them to use some suction machine to suck out the dust in one fell swoop. Since then it made a lot of sense why my PC continously restarted if I push my cpu at 100% for more than 5 minutes (mobo shutdown obviously...)

Maybe the dust fairy was lazy and just hid the dust in my case? I really don't know.
