Kudos to the lads at Techreport for giving my babies a chance to shine




Top left is an Asus, I bought her in 2010 out of my savings. Still rocking an Athlon 64 3200, two 512MB RAM sticks, and a 80GB Hitachi 80GB. Haven't use it for a while due to constant blue screen.

Lower right is my first love, Delsy (lol). My dad brought her home in about 2004 and I played Road Rash on it everyday, good times. She have an Intel Celeron, two 256MB RAM sticks and a 160GB HDD. Out of everything, she is still going strong with that Window XP (2 minute boot up may be a pain though ).

Others are pictures of both, Dell on top (Still my baby), Asus bottom.

That's all I have, good luck guys.

An old Dell from 09'

I never threw my Delsy away because every time I boot it up and see how slow it is, nostalgia always hit hard.

lol i just have to do that with mine or my wifes laptop... mines ok.. but her laptop is a joke. Takes a good 8 -10 minutes for everything to settle in and be usable! lol

Keep the pics coming! its fun (and gross! lol)

This is the family room computer. quite dusty dont ya think

Hello, i put here picture of my old pc
I hope that i win, because my laptop is burning down in some months :/

Here it is!

I had already started on my spring cleaning, but hadn't taken the time to take off my side intake fan yet.
200mm's tend to grab a lot of dust. This rig's first spring cleaning.

Christmas was so long ago! Its time to clean it. Dust bunnies will have to relocate for the season.

I personally vote for this...

that one is nasty... but it seems like it should be a random pick from the qualified entries... because some of us didnt keep our old pcs - and others have nice clean ones! lol

i'd like to say i'd keep mine dirty for next years spring cleanup, but it's hard, hate having filthy guts in my case

This old thing gave me fond memories of games in the 2000's. Sad to see it catching dust :[

Cleaned it out about a week ago but yeah, I have to lay it sideways or the fan will fall out (clips are broke) and the psu started squeeling about a month ago, I've give up on it. It's been going strong for 10+ years, I think it's time to put it out of it's misery.

I can not express how awful this thing smells, its like sweaty feet and dog mixed together. I'll give my dad my rig if I win.

Oi. Wait a sec, I had that exact same HSF on a Socket A Athlon build.

oh man... thats nasty! Why on earth do you still have it!??? lol

Sorry about that. When you're a mod "Edit Post" and "Quote Post" look identical once triggered. We try hard not to, but it still happens from time to time.

Wow. I think I will pass on entering this contest on the fact that these poor bastards need a new PC much worse than I.
In fact, just give it to that guy with the slot Pentium 2. That POS brings back so many bad memories....soooo sloooooooow.

Anyways, good luck guys!!!

lol these are all pcs that people have had sitting around. I find it hard to believe that anyone is actually using these.

Guess you don't live in Amerika..Slave labor wages and laziness reign supreme. I wager 70% of these rigs ARE functioning and in use!!!!

I really wish I had a picture of my brothers PC. I gave him my 6870 when I bought an R9 280X and the fan on one of his 4870's had a full solid ring of hair and dust blocking the intake.

I do live in the US lol.. and for as little as $150 you can get a refurbished desktop...These are little more than doorstops

My 2004 Dell just worked yesterday, turned out it's just bad power supply, window xp still going stro... I mean awfully slow.

Esproc's wins, based on you can't identify if it's mold, dust, tape, or foreign matter.
