In 2002 it was a good choice to use Windows 2000 instead of XP. Especially before SP2 came out, XP was buggy and full of security holes. I'm surprised to discover that "SUPERAntiSpyware" is actually a legitimate product, and not a fake/rogue anti-spyware program; however, PC Magazine gave it a very low rating, saying that it doesn't detect much of anything.

Nostalgia up the wazoo!! In my elementary school computer class back in the day, these were the computers that were used! I played the heck outta Kid Pix Studio Deluxe and all the Edmark Learning House games (Bailey's Book House for example). I have no recollection of what OS was on them, although I vaguely remember a Windows 2000 splash screen so that could've been the case🤔 Is it bad that I want one?!🤣🤣

Nice imac in the background 28:49! Better hold on to it as not that many are up on ebay and the ones that are all seem to be by local pick up or cost a fortune to ship because they all come from the USA and most sellers insist on international priority!

Thanks. I got for free from my high school. It came mint in the box with all the original peripherals and software that came with it new. I don't use it, and I want to sell it on eBay, but I can't for the very reason you mentioned. I would want to ship it with the box inside another box to protect it, but I wouldn't be able to fit it in the car! So I would have to list it as pickup-only. :/

Yah it's sad I can't find many old computers out here on the parries (Saskatchewan more specifically) There was a big Windows XP toss out when Microsoft quit support but they over all aren't at all "tanks". They are quick at becoming slow and nearly crashing. Then there are the people who have things like a dot matrix printer but for some reason they think they may need it someday and so they all just hang on to them despite having fancy laser printers!!

BBC600 They are trusty reliable machines! I've had mine for 10 years no problems and I think I can keep it easy for another 7 years or so as long as I upgrade the CPU in it and get a better graphics card I've upgraded the ram already to 1.5 GB and it runs linux lite

Not bad of a computer for Windows XP I must say, looks like Windows 2000 might be suitable for that computer as well. I also agree myself, these Optiplex series of desktop computers were amazing for it's time. Also I should tell you this, that program named SUPERAntiSpyware is a legit program, however, it is a junky program. Malwarebytes Anti Malware is wayyyyy much better then SUPERAntiSpyware, imo.

Super Anti Spyware is actually my favorite anti malware program. From my experience it works better than Malwarebytes. It's excellent at removing annoying junk programs. I use it all of the time at work. That is Not a bad system at all. I have a gx280 with a hyper threading p4 and an ati x1300. Runs windows 7 flawlessly. Dell had a great run with that design.

Great video, I have a gx110 and a gx240. Great machines. I also have a compaq deskpro en, I love this one so much with win98. Me too the computers can play only 240 and 144p videos. Hope you'll put this agp card in it, I wonder if it will be able to play 360p videos. I know that flash is more cpu consuming than graphics card cunsuming but maybe...

Thanks. What form factor is your GX110? I always personally found the desktop and tower models quite ugly (although presumably versatile, for sure), but the small form factor model pretty nice looking, although not as maintenance-friendly as the Compaq DeskPro EN due to its use of laptop floppy and optical drives. Yeah, I determined the ATI Rage 128 Pro to be more powerful than the Intel 815, so that card now resides in it. Nope, KZitem no longer plays well on a 1 GHz Pentium III; not even 240p. I made an annotation explaining that, but it accidentally got moved to the wrong place in the video.

***** My gx110 is the mid-tower one, yes I know this isn't the prettiest case but I've seen much worse, but yes it really easy to open and work in it, just 2 screws and there is only the case left, but unfortunatly it doen't have an agp slot, so i'm stuck with 4mb on ram on the video card, but stil really great and fast with win98. I tried, maybe 4 monts ago, on my deskpro and windows 98+latest flash player for it : I was able to play 240p, but it was just.

Don't bother with FreeNAS on a Pentium III. Unless you're okay with 100Mbit speeds (Max. 10MB/s transfers). These would run an older version of Mint or Ubuntu like a charm. (No Unity Ubuntu versions, though.)
