These are my other PCs, which I use for various experiments, since they really aren't fast enough to do anything shocking... though they are good enough to be servers, eventually.

Unlike what the case indicates, there's a Cyrix 6x86 P166 inside this machine with 64MB of RAM, and the drives I threw into it are a 24X Panasonic SCSI CD-ROM, an IDE 1GB Syquest Sparq drive, and a 16X Teac SCSI CD-ROM. I run Windows 98 on it, so I can actually run the Timex Datalink software on this machine. Other than that, I use it to run light applications if my other computers are rendering something, or to test hardware.
This is an IBM Personal Computer 350 100DX-4. It was on it's way to the dumpster in the summer of 2000, cause it wouldn't even turn on. Turns out, it was just a faulty NIC card. I had it on my desk as a second computer for a few months, but I've stripped the components since then. In this picture I've got the cool Gateway 2000 121-key AnyKey keyboard hooked up to it... those things were tight!
I love the way IBM computers are built! The case is all screwless. And it's got a nifty front cover too.

This is a Compaq Deskpro 466, a 486 DX/33 and the monitor that came with it. Picked this one up from the garbage pile at school too, but this one was totally functional. Since it was functional, I let my brother have it as is, to play around with, and he's loaded some quite useful software like WordPerfect and American Heritage... and of course, the best game on the face of the earth, Transport Tycoon Deluxe. So for now, I'll let him have it to serve his purposes.

These are one Pentium 166, one Pentium 75, and two Pentium 90s that I just picked up from my work. After the move at work, they have a bunch of leftover computers so I offered to take out the trash. I sold the Pentium 75 to Dan for use a secondary DNS server in his web hosting business. I upgraded the P166 so it has a 40GB hard drive and USB and Mom is using it now. I upgraded one P90 a little and gave that to Dad to use as a plotting station. The last P90 is waiting for Linux to go on it so I can have a dedicated fun machine.

Well, the Commodore 128 is not really a PC, but until I get more, I think I will throw it in here. As you can see, I got it with all the original packaging and manuals, and a bunch of software. I don't have a monitor that will work for it though, so it's not useful yet.

Now that I'm in college, I've moved all the computers I didn't take onto a shelf down the basement of my parents' house. Starting from the top left and reading, I have a Pentium 90, a Macintosh Plus, a CompuDyne 15" VGA monitor, a 200MB Syquest drive, another Pentium 90, a Gateway 2000 121-key Anykey programmable keyboard, an Apple IIe with 2 5.25" disk drives, a Cyrix 6x86 P166, a metal rack with a DX2-66 and lots of other motherboards and random old cards piled in there for storage, a Gateway 2000 DX-33, a Franklin Ace 1000, an old TV monitor, a 17" Trinitron Macintosh monitor, and a 15" Trinitron Gateway 2000 monitor. To the left of the shelf, I have a Micron P150 and a Pentium 166, and a Macintosh SE sitting in front.
