Great. That I can remember, but I can't remember my ATM PIN!

I still have the CS binder-in-a-book that came with my subscription, and my old OzWin (Anyone else remember that?) logs and email files around. Last email date: 1998.

Hmmm...

I've got two original IBM ATs - 10MB (yes Megabyte) hard drives, 512k of ram. But I don't use them.

I've got a 486DX based server from the early 90's, but I finally shut it down a couple of years ago. Novell 4.12 on it, it ran flawlessly for over 10 years.

I do, have a Compaq Prolinea 590. Mfg sometime in 1995, it is in daily use. It's my firewall.

But oldest currently-in-use would probably be my 1993 IBM Model M keyboards. They'll never die.

Then there's my 1980 ski boat, which still works beautifully, despite approaching it's 30th birthday.

I'd skip the case referenced. It's small and it's black, but the power supply is not one I would want running in my living room. It also only supports low-profile cards, which limits your options. I know - my daughter's pc is built in one.

Also, while the Compaq SFF systems are great little boxes, they're not going to pass the gf/wife test. Also they tend to be a bit noisier. Avoid the P4 boxes - they are SERIOUSLY noisy, especially under any load. I've one at work, under my desk I use to run terminals. If I fire up Firefox, it sounds like a jet taking off. The 866/933 PIIIs are the sweet spot for them. They make great workstations for email/web work. I use them for firewall appliances because they are small, relatively easy on power, fully supported by Debain, inexpensive, and reliable. But they just don't have the horsepower for full 1080p decode.
