No.



Edit: Hmmm. I wonder if it would work with potato?

Woody maybe...


2nd Edit: Come to think of it, how about being out in the potato field with a woody?

Before you throw it out strip, it down and see how everthing goes together doubt that you could save anthing other than an old net card which is probable ISA . Its a good learning tool tho .

Nice to see you found the specs tho good one .

I'll second that, good idea to have a look inside and learn what all the bits look like and how they're connected, better than fiddling with a new one and cocking it up!

John, when you've finished fiddling with it, bung it in the bin, I wouldn't bother saving anything from it either unless you really want to upgrade it, then you'd have to go out and buy these bits;
Motherboard
Soundcard
Graphics card
USB card
Dvd rewriter
Hard drive
Power supply
keyboard and mouse
and a fan


Oh yeah, nearly forgot, and a new case to put them all in.

That won't work very well without a CPU and some RAM.
