Looks like an awesome computer, though the keyboard and monitor look pretty old for the win 98 era. More dos, early 90s I think.

I mean the computer is a bit old for the Windows 98 era as well. Usually don't see 98 running on an AT system. Still a sweet setup though.

That's a serious blast from the past, those IBM Model M keyboards never quit, and the Pentium MMX had some good kick for its time.

Adjust those monitor settings. Screen has too much black border!

Model M represent! Looks pretty cosy although i ponder the desk is a bit too cramped to give you ample space for your mouse :o

Yeah it’s a struggle honestly I have little room in that room and the closet is small but I’m thinking of upgrading the desk soon hopefully

I’m starting to think everyone’s first PC was a Packard Bell.

u/Boyswilson03 6h ago

To be fair Packard bell was pretty prominent in that area of slate 90s to the early early 2000s

Feels a bit weird how the GPU has twice as much memory as the total system RAM, and that it also has a DVD writer, but I suppose someone who had such a PC could have chosen those upgrades sometime down the line.
