I found a photo of the family PC we got in 2000
Does anyone think they could help me identify the case or joystick or really anything going on here (minus the stereo system, I still have that one)? Cause I loved that computer
@hazelnot The webcam is definitely the Logitech Quickcam (Express)!
@hazelnot Also, the design language of the PC case reminds me of Packard Bell - however, I don't think they ever used that particular colour scheme. The colors are more HP, but I don't think those were quite that curvy.
Gateway or Toshiba, perhaps?
@hazelnot Yeah then it was most likely an OEM case used by many small 'non-brands' and local computer builders, the MSI sticker would've been included with the motherboard or GPU when they built the system, and they would have just added that on there too
@hazelnot Regretfully, not a lot of documentation on the internet of OEM cases from back then :( You're most likely to see them appear in very old pictures of people's gaming setup
@hazelnot This is the same one, I think? http://www.diffusedion.co.uk/images/Computers/Duron.jpg
@joepie91 yeah, someone else replied with the same link haha, I think they tagged the owner of the website to see if they can identify it
@hazelnot That one is described as follows, which seems to confirm my suspicions:
"2001-2003: AMD Duron 700mhz - First of my own builds. Had a 64mb GeForce 2 MX, 256MB RAM (I think) and a 30GB Western Digital HD."
@joepie91 yeah my parents got it from a computer shop downtown, one of the stickers is from there
I *think* the other sticker might've been MSI? Or at least my earliest memories of MSI are in relation to that PC
