I'm in a good mood 'cuz I found a computer in the dumpster today.

It had a motherboard, PSU, processor, case, 160gb hard drive, and a weird-looking thing in place of the optical drive that had MIDI ports.

I added some stuff and here are the current specs:
*2.0ghz P4 Processor
*512mb DDR 400mhz ram (added this myself)
*160gb hard drive
*DVD/CD-RW drive (also added)
*Windows XP Pro Lite SP3
The computer also came with a license for XP Home SP2, which I was happy about. Someone's gonna get a cheap copy of XP from me (I'm either gonna load linux or a non-legit version of XP on this machine). I think I'm gonna keep it. It has a maximum memory expansion of 2gb, which will be plenty for the upcoming Windows 7.

The ram is $85 on crucial (which I don't want to spend), but I'll run into a couple of 1gb DDR sticks eventually. Then I'll upgrade it.
The computer was in pretty bad shape. A corrupt version of windows, a bent case, and a tab broken off of the ram slot on the motherboard. Despite these things however, it's now running perfectly and working great! I fixed the bent case thing, wiped the bad copy of windows from it, and it works fine without the tab on the motherboard. I couldn't be more pleased.
