You are absolutely right, it's a P4

With all the HDDs and cooling fans it sounds like a small jet when it's turned on.
But it's great for storing files I rarely use.

overclocking is pretty simple start off in 50mhz increments for the cpu and run benchmarks, if it clears without too much heat or shutting down/restarting then ur good, u can try both multiplier and fsb but fsb seems to be the bulk of whats done today, in order to get a hgih overclock you must have a quality mobo and ram, its also good to research which cpus overclock better than others

what u want to know? own both mac and PC and have took apart both laptop and desktops of both brands as well

I was just wondering if anyone else here does too

the only thing i'd like to learn more about it is over clocking, but im not into PC gaming, so that can wait for another time

and the 40 mhz (or so) ibm isnt necessarily a project, just got it for free awhile ago

I have some old laptops and desctop computers.

Macintosh SE/30 with a cool green carrying bag.
Commodore 64
286
486 DX4 100Mhz
Pentium II (don't remember the speed)
Pentium III 2,4Ghz fileserver with about 2Tb total HDD space.
Intel Core 2 Duo 2,4Ghz (The computer I use to write this)

I put my computers together myself, cause then I can pick the components/parts I want.

My coolest laptop is this old IBM Thinkpad butterfly with 486 processor.

Seriously? 40mhz?

Why even bother working on a 40mhz? That's got to be from like 96.

Even if I wanted to, I could never work on PC's. I don't know shit about them (save for the basics like turning one on, going to Control Panel and deleting cookies, etc; just trivial stuff like that), and I'm too lazy to learn. >_>

My uncle works on PC's, though, and in fact, he built my cousin a new PC one year, and put a motherboard in my old PC before it went kaboom.

I am at the moment:

I have 1 other one not pictured, but its probably a 40 mhz beast of an IBM, about as thick as an NES

and the 1 I use

anyone else work on them?
