Wasn't there a time when it was considered unfeasible that anyone would ever need more than a few kilobytes?

Holy Hell, i'm pretty sure that's fridge kick's doom 2 in at 30fps with a translucent ATX Case Upgrade (￣～￣)
they just mean, you just need to replace each component and it will be good as new!
you know, motherboard,ram,ps,cpu. those drives prolly work today if you have an ide and floppy headers.. might need some molex power adapters
it connects to the internet, dude, just download more ram
What's the problem here? That unit will do all your floppy disc needs until the end of time
The first PC I used growing up was the family e-machine. If nothing else it had good recognizable branding with that E power button design.
there was a point in time, between the mid 90s to the mid-00s, in the U.S., where you could be a very manipulative piece of shit, wthout knowing anything, except how to get these crap computers running again.
actually they probably run some old ass linux fine even now. i hate to see the internals trashed for a junkyard - that trashed computer could be running the junkyard.
that said, i went looking for parts for my car on the internet, at local junkyards. i think they are running the old-ass computers.
It's still good for some great retro gaming. Or maybe a server of some kind. So yeah, it's not obsolete yet.
i've got a couple old emachines mintowers here, one was redone with a new (at the time) athlon ii.
solid cases for reuse, just a little tight on space inside and zero airflow intake from the front (across where the hdd bracket is). neither really matter if you're not trying to put in a big video card and use ssd instead of hdd. so i just hang on to them in case i come across something new-ish to put in them.
