No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I am searching for the case of my first PC and can't find it. It's cursed, as if it never existed. The render is a recreation from memory, so it may slightly vary to the real thing, but I am sure I got the basic shapes and proportion right.

What I remember

  • hp system
  • was bought in a bundle (?) with an hp printer and a dell monitor
  • bought in Germany around 2006
  • ran windows vista
  • mid tower (probably atx or micro-atx)
  • one disk drive
  • recessed i/o with SD-Card reader
  • air intake at the front bottom (at least that's what I think it was in hindsight)

There are many hp cases of the mid 2000s that match the design language, but they are all different to my case. If you recognize it, let alone have any information on it, let me know :)

Edit: Thank you all for your guesses! I'll try to respond to you all, but I feel bad for responding "nope, sadly not it" to most of your suggestions. But you gave me some ideas what to check out next, hopefully it will help me identify the case after all :)

Edit 2: picture time :D -- it's just a different angle

collapsed inline media

Edit 3: randomblock1 found it. It's a Hyricane PCK01978. I formerly would like to issue an apology for claiming it was hp. xD Thank you all again for your help :3

Dell Dimension 2400 or a descendant of that?

https://www.dell.com/support/product-details/en-us/product/dimension-2400/resources/manuals

That was THE computer to have in college when I went.

There are some Dimension models that come quite close, but no, that's not it.
