My first EQ PC was a https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compaq_Presario_5460

Which had a slowish frame rate but burned in my firzt permanent neriak and qeynos memories to my brain.

Gateway essential purchased in early 2000. Had the Geforce 256, SoundBlaster audio card paired with Boston Acoustics Digital BA735 2.1.

Everquest doesn't seem the same on a widescreen LCD..

2nd comp was from ABS, third was a shit E-Machines.. started putting my own computers together after that.

This, but a Pentium 200mmx, I threw a 12meg voodoo2 card in it to run EQ. It chugged on its 32 megs of ram but I upgraded it to 96MB and load times were tolerable.

Still only got like 10fps in unrest. That was a real dog of a zone.

That pic you attached has the aesthetic I like, but only because its been gone for so long. A computer was aimed at a business office and you added a couple things to play games better. No gaming computers or RGB lights.

I have been looking at 4:3 ratio LCD monitors lately.

These pics of these older computers are glorious, keep posting them please.

Newer computer components/towers are such an eyesore, why does everything need to have bright neon lights and Xtreme in the name?

That is cool when its an exception only. The guys over at [H]ardforum were putting plexi glass windows to see inside and doing all kinds of stuff. Here is my first custom.

How do people remember this shit? Sometimes I take a moment to recall my home phone when calling for delivery.

Lots of time spent.
