Lights are on, but nobody’s home

Build Description

Old system dedicated to running software that doesn’t run properly on newer versions of windows. Runs incredibly slowly because of the relative age of the hardware and the 2.5” laptop hdd, but isn’t worth upgrading due to how infrequently it is used. Prices on everything but the case/AIO are shot in the dark guesstimates.

It may be old, but I actually need to keep a computer this old up and running.

Favorite Feature

It can run legacy software that can't run in current windows versions.
