So, I recently wanted to get my hands on an ancient PC. This fits the bill, while being new enough for me to have a good experience with late 90's and early 2000's software. And it's in OPTIMAL condition for its age, too. To summarize, these went for around US$700 when brand new (about US$1,200 in today's money, adjusted for inflation) and were released some time in 2001. This would've gotten you a Sound Blaster AudioPCI 64, a Socket 370 Intel processor, 256 megabytes of RAM and a hard drive from one of many manufacturers, for example, an IBM DeathStar!
Though I paid an uncomfortable amount of money (which I will not provide the exact price I got this for), it's an amazing Windows 98 computer, and though it has integrated graphics, that's okay, since I know where I can pull a 98-compatible graphics card from that will make things better! (I'm looking at you, HP Pavilion a735w that probably shouldn't have 98 installed in the first place...)
Overall, I'm quite happy with what I got. I hope you enjoy this video!
