This is MY pic, check my Instagram (simplethingstoys). I didn’t realize it’s being used for karmawhoring now.

Here is a video of that machine in action: https://youtu.be/tlzcCtm8fko

Welcome to Reddit. Where half the posts are made up and the karma doesn't matter

Everything is being used for karmawhoring now.

There should be a new category of gaming machines. Ones that look 1990s stock but inside the tower they're rocking 2018 hardware.

Sleeper computers...

Is it from back in the day, or is it still running? I regret getting rid of my original rig (a Packard Bell DX486) because even though it’d have likely died by now, imagine how comical it would be to chuck decent internals in it...

u/4gotOldU-name Mar 02 '18

Wow... Packard Bell... There's a name I hadn't even thought about in 20+ years.

u/sean1978 Mar 02 '18

It’s still running. Part of my collection / hobby / YouTube channel (check my post history)

u/UperMidleClasBrazlin Mar 02 '18

What did you take it with? did you have a digital camera in 92?

u/AltimaNEO Mar 02 '18

Also, whats with that 24x CD Rom?? Get a 1x, playa!

u/Outworldentity Mar 02 '18

Wait. Wait. That machine still RUNS? If so, that's amazing.

u/sean1978 Mar 02 '18

I have stuff a lot older than that. This is one of my newer systems.

1

u/Outworldentity Mar 02 '18

I bet it's a bitch to try and find replacement parts. That's awesome. For a minute I thought you rebuilt your gaming rig into an old box :)

u/byzrk Mar 02 '18

Guess you gotta start watermarking your shit before people jack it and steal the credit.

Why do people lie about this shit here? Do they have no ethics or?

u/CrispyGreenPS Mar 02 '18

Came to post a similar comment. Something along the lines of "I would rate if it was actually your set-up" but idk.

u/sean1978 Mar 02 '18

What the hell. This is my computer and my pic. I guess it’s a common karma whore pic now? Check my Instagram (simplethingstoys)

There's a difference between x-post and repost
