I have been busy with working on computers etc so I was kinda busy this week but had some free time so I decided to post on this forum! Grin I got an old server case which is beige and I used it on a custom build Smile

You don't have to apologise Nathan! There isn't a mandatory post quota you must meet every week or something.

If the computer is a 386 it'll almost qualify as a vintage item.

Here are some vintage computer-related items and expressions:-

1. IBM-compatible.
2. B:\ Drive.
3. Datasette.
4. Joystick.
5. The 'turbo' button.
6. Maths co-processor.

Well it isn't vintage per say it runs Windows 7 but I kept it all old on the outside. It used to run a P4 server board so I saved the RAM and the hard disks and the board itself just in case I want to do a file server or something, and I will find a case siding for it online hopefully, as it is missing the other side of the case.

Don't worry with the speed of things in computerland you
only need hold onto it and it will be vintage soon enough.

Here's another vintage computing term:
"Kilobyte"!!! Grin
