Anyone else ordered a computer at Staples from a company called Proteva back in the day?

40x, right around the sweet spot -- fast enough to get things done, but not so fast that the disc will explode. (52x, I'm looking at you.)

I recognize that case... Inwin, maybe?
Ixnay10@reddit
Pretty sure it's InWin. We used them at the computer repair shop I worked at long ago. Actually would love to find one for nostalgia sake...

I’m not sure. I noticed other custom pc build companies from this era have used this same case. I just ordered a MDC one from eBay. Same exact case. Just a different logo

I can imagine writing, posting and chatting from this desk all night long! Such a cool looking spot.
CAR3Y4@reddit (OP)
Thank you! It’s actually the upstairs balcony leading to the master bed room. I never thought of putting a desk here but I found one that fits perfectly. It’s my favorite spot
orchidbranch@reddit
I LOVE a balcony desk!! They make the best nooks for working. One of my dreams is to get a house with a spot like this, where I can work but also look out for a view of the downstairs.
CAR3Y4@reddit (OP)
You would definitely love this house then!

Full specs, please!

Socket 370 Celeron 433MHz 64MB RAM and a 3D Rage Turbo. Nothing fancy

How is it PII and Celeron? I remember the Celeron being different from the Pentium because they dropped the L2 cache and could advertise more mhz for much cheaper. I thought they were two separate processors.
TkachukMitts@reddit
The line where it says Pentium II is the motherboard BIOS basically just saying the board supports Pentium II family CPUs. The Celerons from this era use are all Pentium II based, and use the same motherboards and chipsets etc.
CAR3Y4@reddit (OP)
Maybe it’s in the same family? I’m not too sure. It’s running a Celeron chip
beaverpi@reddit
It takes me back, thanks for sharing.

Dont know about that PC, but your place looks pretty cozy .

Thank you!

Is your home office in a sauna?
CAR3Y4@reddit (OP)
😂 no my interior is log cabin themed. Hand made wood panel walls and hard wood flooring with stone fireplace
TechIoT@reddit
Time Used the same Cases
Time was a UK computer company, my dad owned one
And soon I hope to own one also.

I found that out recently, thanks! I wonder what company builds it because it seems a lot of companies back then used this case for their builds
