Lol, reminds me of my old setup.
It was all old W98 laptop that I got used. I installed xunbuntu on it back when it first came out in 2006. It sat on my desk, open like that with a bit of tape over to hold the power cord because it was loose. The battery was completely dead.
It was the server I used to host all the modded maps I made for a silly little tank game. Thing ran seemlessly only going down when the power went out or somebody juggled the power cord for 5 years.
Wow five years is a long time to juggle something
