PC Stuff :)
Well,it's a partly working machine. But from it, I scored a 440bx motherboard with AGP. a SoundBlaster 24 (SRS Model 
) 392MB Ram, 6GB HDD, CD-RW (24x8x52), Network, 33.6 modem :-/ , Decent ATX Case with Front USB, Front FireWire port. Zip Drive. Dual Floppy. The case has a Lock on it, and a key to go with it (first time I have seen that 
) and has a 16MB AGP 2x SVGA card. Motherboard has 6 PCI and 3 ISA Slots.
Anyways, on another note, I had to give up a Dell Celery 800Mhz. I didn't have a use for it, and it replaced the 450Mhz Pentium II Mentioned above.
The L2 Cache went out on the processor causing it to KP. So I gave them a replacement machine at no charge (My mom "Volunteered" me to work on their machine) and it gets it out of the house. I like the ATX Case it comes with. It has a 500Watt PSU. it's kinda overkill for the machine it had in it previously

I know how you feel on the 'volunteer' work. I'm the one who fixes the relatives computers. I don't mind doing it since as you mentioned it gets me out of the house and I get food! [

It sounds like a good machine. As cheap as slot 1 processors are it should not take much to get it back in the running.

So long as the family members pay me with edible goodies, I'm happy.
I got a free movie rental coupon from a friend that couldn't get orange box to work on his computer, needed a new graphics card. As a side note when I opened his computer to show him how to install it when he buys the new one, His computer was the most dusty I have ever seen! If you combine the dust into one ball, it would be the size of 2 fists.
I remember those 440BX motherboards.That was a good chipset for it's time.
Here's some details.

I still have a couple 440BX motherboards in use for old game machines.
