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... Why? Some people like to collect curiousities. I know people who collect old Packard Bell systems, striving to have one of a kind of everything. Whatever floats your boat. He could be looking for a Windows ME system. ME was the worst Microsoft operating system until Vista came along... Ben Myers |

Ben Myers I used win98 for a DOS based game that I enjoy playing, mainly because it is easy to cheat at. I had been using a win98 desktop that I assembled using a gigabyte motherboard. When we moved to a higher elevation in Colorado, the capacitors on the gigabyte board burst causing the mother board to fail. I purchased a used Dell Dimension XPS from a local Dell service outlet and used it for a year until the motherboard went bad on it. Regretfully I tossed the Dell desktop instead of looking for a replacement motherboard. Those Dell Dimensions were good machines. Right now I am running the game on a really old Dell Latitude CPi laptop. BTW, I am running Vista on a Dell XPS M1530 and while it has a few annoying habits, I don't really mind it overall. Larry |
