Some time ago, I saw a message posted here by someone looking for a
Dimension 8100 power supply, a custom affair, not your standard garden
variety ATX or ATX12v power supply.

Today, a Dimension 8100 showed up here, claimed to be in working order.

I do not think anyone would be interested in paying for shipping of a
whole Dimension 8100 at this late date. I have not tested the system
here myself, but if there is interest in various parts and attachments,
I can do so.

Items of interest might be:
power supply
motherboard
rear cooling fan
other?

Let me know if you are interested in any of the parts. You have to pay
exact cost shipping plus a few bucks for my time.

Also, these parts all interchange with the Precision 330 and the
Optiplex GX400. Different external appearance, but same layout and form
factors inside.

If nobody is interested by the time the new year arrives, the system
will be torn down completely for electronic scrap... Ben Myers

What is the operating system? Larry

The system has 2x256MB 800-45 RAMBUS memory. Beyond that, I do not
know, because I have not fired it up yet. It has no hard drive and it
has a Windows 2000 sticker on the side. Overall, I'd say that the
physical condition of the chassis is very good... Ben

I am looking for a win98 system...

Well, if you live not too far from ZIP 01451, I can scare up a 40-60GB
hard drive and a legit Windows 98 license. Cash and carry with the
emphasis on carry. As in "You carry". The damned thing is heavy. Not
much cash and a lot of carry. Win 98 drivers should be no problem for a
Dimension 8100 as Intel and friends stopped producing Win 98 drivers
with the much later 845 chipset. (Two or three years ago, my most
trailing edge client needed yet another Windows 98 system to go with his
Windows NT 4.0 server. I obliged by setting up a Dimension 2400 with
all the necessary drivers. It ran not like a Swiss watch, but more like
one of those cheap watches you get from street vendors in major cities
of the world. Yes, Windows 98 was that good. We all forget!) ... Ben
