In the trash at the thrift store
(thelemmy.club)
Bitter sweet because I'm pretty sure this means we lost real one. RIP
It's church thrift store run by elderly people and they get overwhelmed and will just toss anything on a whim. They practically give away the stuff they do sell.
The others that were piled up in the bottom of the box. Some of the discs had fallen out of the cases and sleeves but they all seemed fine except for one: Half-Life GOTY disc got a few tiny fatal cracks. A lot of software and bargain bin games have been excluded.
There were two discs that go with two joysticks I have. I have a sidewinder somewhere but couldn't bother looking for it for the pic.
Was that one of them where the side kinda swiveled open?
It had a tool-less door but a reversed internal layout, you open the right side panel (when looking from the front of the system)
there were tool-less releases for the HDD bays and disk drives, and it featured full-length brackets for add-in cards, with a sort of locking mechanism clamping over.
It also had this weird display on the top. you could play solitaire on it if you wanted.
bizarre little thing.
same as a few dimensions we still have sitting around here.. they're "BTX", the failed successor to ATX form factor.. it had some neat ideas, but would need a little tweaking if it were to support a 'modern' pc platform today.
It was called Windows SideShow I think. I’ve been eyeing an XPS 420 because I’ve never had a system with one before.
