Everything works pretty well. It's in ok shape for its age (10/2000). My uncle gave it to me for free. It had issues turning on when I received it. Turned out to be a faulty RAM module, so I'm leaving it at 256mb for now instead of 512mb. Windows 95 doesn't really need more anyways. The CMOS battery had died and there was a missing key on the keyboard. Both of those issues have been fixed. Another issue is on the right side next to the keyboard, the palmrest cracked next to the arrow keys. It's a common issue for these machines. My solution was just duct tape + black sharpie. I cleaned it inside and out and it runs nicely. Specs:

750MHz Pentium III

256mb RAM

12GB IDE 4200RPM HD

8mb S3 IX Savage graphics

1024x768 resolution

Windows 95

Yeah, surfing the web on this thing isn't very effective. Fancy HTML5 sites won't render correctly (using old versions of SeaMonkey, Opera, Netscape, and IE5). Oppositelock sort of works, but you can't log in. YouTube doesn't work since the last version of Flash Player for 95 was 7.

Retro as fuck.

I've got Roller Coaster Tycoon installed as well.

And a fair amount of emulators to play with. Any questions?
