    Did you post the wrong link? I am seeing a P67 motherboard and i5 3450 from 2012. Fair price for a budget PC for average Joe but nothing special. Certainly not early 2000s and nothing people would be rushing to buy.

    Pierre32 You really do have a knack for finding cheesy accessories.

    I thought it was obvious that I didn't mean it is from the early 2000s.
    It is a great candidate for an OTT build for early 2000s games with native drivers for XP and is over 10 years old.

    HP T5720 thin client for $42.50pp: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/231027532854

    I think I've posted this before, but the price recently dropped.
    CPU is basically a 1GHz Athlon XP and it has Win98SE drivers.
    Comes with 512MB RAM, a 512MB disk-on-module, 19" 5:4 LCD and keyboard/mouse - basically a complete retro setup.

    Phil did a series of videos on this thin client a few years ago: https://www.philscomputerlab.com/hp-t5720.html

    ^I really want a Win98SE machine to run UbiSoft Guitar Hits CD roms (a guitar tutorial). Have bought two win98se PC boxes but they both didn't work.. the above doesn't have a CD drive player?

    Not sure if a bargain as the seller hasn't listed a price, but cool collection.
    I sent a lowball, but he wasn't interested.

    It's in Toowoomba, if anyone was keen on some of it let me know - happy to pickup for someone.
