Original Dell
This was my family’s third computer and the first one that was mainly mine. I remember spending tons of time playing games on it and doing some school assignments as a kid. It had its issues and spent a decent amount of time being repaired but it was an alright machine. I had hoped to grab it at some point but sadly my parents recycled it before I got a chance.

A few years ago I bought a very similar computer as a replacement. This one is a little more powerful than my old one, a 1 GHz Pentium III versus a 500 MHz Celeron, but it has the same chassis. It has four operatiing systems installed on the hard drive and uses a program called System Command used to select between them. It also had a CompactFlash to IDE adapter that allows other operating systems to be ran. It also has a Gotek floppy emulator for loading floppy images from a USB.
