Guest zerodamage November 23, 2004 Share Guest zerodamage Guests November 23, 2004 I have a few of these ugly HP Visualize X-Class CPU's that originally had WinNT on them and they have 512MB of PC133 RAM and dual 866 P3's. Think they are worth anything and are any good? I am thinking of keeping one for myself and tossing WinXP PRO on it. Should detect all of the crap in it like the SCSI controller and what not. THing is ugly as Lunk though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest zerodamage November 23, 2004 Share Guest zerodamage Guests November 23, 2004 I just counted... 9 that we still have to look at. I doubt we can sell them because they are just so freakin ugly. I will bring in my camera tomorrow and grab a picture of the one I am working on (The best looking one) and I have to figure out what type of Vid card it is. I know it is some professional card, it is as long as the case from one end to another and has no less than 4 cores on it. i am sure it is old but that alone may be worth something. Going to give it a check once I have win2k on it (Would not take NT, which is too picky about things and gives BSOD's way too often, crappy OS anyway). I think this one I am going to keep though. If anyone is interested... let me know and we can work something out as I test and build them. No HDD's and floppies in them and they are proprietary in that regard. look to be ATX though (Sort of).

appalachian_fox November 23, 2004 Share appalachian_fox Member November 23, 2004 Those seem they would be nice comps. Throw a copy of Win2k Server on there, have a VPN endpoint in your house, web server, etc. Or, for the hardcore hobbyist, a Linux distro would probably run awesome on that provided you got everything set up and detected. Definitely a great find to the right people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrX November 24, 2004 Share mrX GC Alumni November 24, 2004 Might make a nice Mantis II with a good linux distro on it (for our gc ftp and whatnot). That is if there could be one donated for the cause. I believe ncc would still be willing to foster home another box if we got it to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zerodamage November 24, 2004 Share Guest zerodamage Guests November 24, 2004 I can probably do that. I will talk to boss and toss out some money for a few of my own. Donate one after I make sure it works. Just keep in mind they are proprietary and a little aged and ugly as death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyperactiveChipmunk November 26, 2004 Share hyperactiveChipmunk Member November 26, 2004 From "ugly as Lunk" to "ugly as Death"...did you clean them up or something? -hC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crowbar November 26, 2004 Share Crowbar Member November 26, 2004 If I'm not mistaken, DOH Delta was a dual P3 back in the day. Nice find. I'm sure we can find a use for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
