I ordered me a new gaming desktop!

A Dell System 325P! Top of the line PC! It has:
A 386 running at 25mhz
5120kb total of RAM
5.25" Floppy drive
And an integrated WD VGA chip!

I also bought a 486 that I'm going to put in it, and I've got an IDE to SD card adapter I'm going to use for the HDD. At some point I'm going to replace that 5.25" drive with a 3.5" drive, put 16MB of RAM in it, and then get a Sound Blaster 16 for it. I might add a separate VGA card as well, but for now the integrated card is going to be just fine for what I plan on doing with it.

From BestBuy and eBay respectively

Then from PSN Store Japan

I'm so glad I bought this on the PS4 rather on the PS3. In hopes that the latter version would have a price drop (couldn't stomach the 7,384 Yen price), I didn't realize it'll release a PS4 version and a permanent price drop on the previous console (down to 1,800 yen on both consoles though currently it's 1,350 due to Double Discount sale going on there) and a Day 1 discount until the 17th. Wew, that is some good decision I ever did.

Not pictured: some vitamins my mom sent for me so I can have an appetite like she expects. I...just wanted to lose weight and eat less tbh.

So, after a bit of a UPS fuck up, I finally got my 386 Dell today :yay: It came with an ISA network card, which was nice and unexpected, and everything works as I thought it would.

So far, I've done the following:

Drilled into and pulled two stripped screws from the case.
Swapped the 5.25" drive for a 3.5" drive (at some point I'll need to get a case bracket, for now it's just sitting somewhat loose) and tested to make sure it's working.
Found out my SD to IDE adapter was designed for 2.5" IDE cables (because I'm dumb), so I ordered a CF to IDE adapter that'll be coming in Wednesday.

So far, what I plan on doing this week:
Install the CF adapter, and install DOS 6.22 and add all my gaymz.
Install the Soundblaster 16 I ordered for some hot DOS-era music.
Upgrade the 25mhz 386 with a 40mhz AMD 386.

What I plan on doing sometime in the future:
(Hopefully) find an old COASt (cache on a stick) upgrade that's not incredibly expensive, to add some L2 cache to the 386.
Install the 40mhz Cyrix math co-processor that's shipping from China and won't be here for a good month or two.
Add some VRAM for the built-in VGA chip, and potentially add a separate VGA card that's a bit more powerful.
Max the system RAM for the mobo (which appears to be 16MB).

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
