About this specific offer
This offer consists of a COMPAQ Deskpro 2000 series 3564, a very solid (metal chassis and enclosure), durable (Japanese capacitors on motherboard and in power supply) and expandable desktop pc. The pc was manufactured in 1998, the United Kingdom. This pc is almost completely standard and can be customized for your needs. To help you with adding options, a system board overview diagram can be found inside the top panel. This computer can, with some installation work, be used for retro gaming, including playing early 3D pc games that require the speed of a (for the time) very fast processor. It can also be used for most legacy business applications from the 90's that require MS-DOS, Windows 95, 98 or NT 4.0. Whatever you look for, this COMPAQ pc has more than enough room for your needs: you can add a 5.25'' FDD or a CD-RW drive, another sound card, a better PCI graphics card, USB 2.0 card etc. The pc is equipped with a VGA output and can display a nice picture on a conventional 4:3 flatscreen monitor. Speakers can be connected to the sound card. Files can be exchanged using USB. It also has a switchable power supply, so it can operate in various regions, including Europe and the United States.
