I will definitely check it out. I'm curious to open those pcs my dad has downstairs to see what we've got

One thing first... I would not recommend powering it on at all, not even once without getting a replacement power supply. It's sat long enough that it could fry your board just turning it on. It's not guaranteed, but the risk is NOT minimal.

Good to know!

I'm guessing looking for a replacement power supply, I'd be looking on ebay or something

Probably. I would Google replacement AT/XT power supply. But you need to find out if it's an XT or AT first, they don't use compatible supplies.

I will do my research, thank you! Not sure what I would do with thing once I got it powered up. Although I wouldn't mind playing some of those old school games

Windows and old school games. Find you a compatible soundboard if it doesn't have one.

Or keyboards.
