      In case you missed out on partying like it was 1999, at least you'll be able to compute like it.

      I could find a use for it... plop in a $20 AR video card and it'd do fine as a HTPC using network storage. You could build something faster for more money but by the time you add the windows license it'll be well over $150, if not before that.

      #1, Dual Cores came out around 2006 so you might want to fix that Y2K bug

      Yeah a budget desktop in '99 would've had a Celeron 500 or Pentium III 600, somewhere in that range, and it would've cost upwards of $800.

      At least somebody has a sense of humor. I suppose I could have said "party like it's 2005", but I refuse to compromise my lame jokes for nerdy sensibilities. Razz
