The motherboard and processor once came from an eMachines e500ix (the BIOS splash screen used to be the eMachines logo before I installed a BIOS update). The computer runs Windows 98 SE and DOS 6.22/Windows 3.11 in a dual-boot configuration and have been set up with appropriate drivers and USB flash drive support (this system neither has an optical disk drive nor a floppy drive). It also has a new CMOS battery.
All components except for the case are era-appropriate (the front panel ports are not usable because the motherboard does not have appropriate headers; there may not be Windows 9x drivers for the case's remote control and media center functionality). That said, it is an interesting turn of the millennium build with weird limitations (e.g. individual storage devices cannot be more than 32 GB; may not have full APM/ACPI support). Comes with PS/2 keyboard, trackball mouse, Thermaltake case manual + remote and Yamaha Audician driver CD in slip cover. Price is firm. Pickup is near Kipling/Dundas.
