    This computer was old and shit even for 2009 standards. Floppy drive, IDE HDD and CD-ROM, a PCI modem, CPU looks to be a P4 socket 478. I’d say this PC was new somewhere around 2002, so well worn by the time 2009 rolled around.

    I like how not only has the heatsink fallen off (which happened often with those early P4 plastic push pins). The little fan on the videocard is also disconnected. Not that a fan and such a tiny crappy heatsink would do much anyways.

      That’s how you turn on the quiet mode of the GPU.
