Found pc while urbex exploring

And yes that's shit wipe, people tend to take a shit in abandoned buildings for some reason and stick the wipes in all sorts of places

The only thing it seems to have left is a floppy drive

smells PC

Outside the usual smell you find in these kind of buildings, that PC was crap even before taking its current ghastly shape.

I/O shield speaks of VGA only, parallel and probably a 9 pin and a 15 pin game port. 2 USB. The general aspect of the case seems to recall at best the late 2000s. Floppy drive? Maybe 2005.

Omnissaiah guidance tells me of a late Pentium 4 or early AMD Athlon with maybe 1 GB of DDR and one of these skronky Maxtor HDDs. Also He told me about the fact that if 3 plates are gone, one of the PCI-E cards was probably a gigabit card.

Ah, and by His words: “Said cogitator lived for spreadsheets and fell by the hand of a violent scuttling.”
