I got this PC off of Facebook market place and I thought it was so cool so I decided to post some pics of it before I "scrap" it (by scrap I mean take apart and use it's parts in other PC builds) also I have some other builds if you guys want to see them and if anyone knows anything about the Hercules sound card let me know cause I have no idea if it's good or not

It's a fancy version of a cheap noname CMI8738 sound card. It has Sound Blaster Pro compatibility, okay 3D-audio and not half bad FM sound. DOS compatibility is where this card falls off for me, your mileage may vary if you can get it to work. Under Windows, it's competent but unremarkable, better than having no sound at all.

One cap near the atx connector seems to have bulged. No problem yet but should be replaced when u use it a lot.

Dw I plan on replacing them after college

You really need to swap that card for a GUS. Just for the aesthetics, it’s red.

Thanks I'll check that out since I changed my mind and want to keep it as is and use some different parts in my 2002 gaming pc

Looks like you can still get info from Hercules/Guillemot’ website.
