Nerdly Activities
A couple months ago I acquired three old computers on a dumpster-diving expedition, two P75s and one 486DX-33. The 486 was in a cute mini-tower with the keyboard connector on the side. Some of the drives and SIMMs were missing, but between the three of them I was able to assemble one P75 in a cute case with 32MB RAM and two NICs. It posts OK. I also have a 4X CD-ROM and two hard drives, a 4.3GB and a 212MB, which I haven't tested.
This is going to be my new Linux firewall/router. I'm going to leave the old one where it is, because my folks will complain if I take away their Internet.
The coolest thing about an old P75? It's damn quiet.
