the problem with quantum drives is that ALL quantums had a bumper under the disk , to stop the heads colliding with the spindle . these bumpers were made very bad and they will melt and become glue over the years. eventualy all quantums will die from this , the only way to fix it is by replacing the bumper , wich is very hard

We who grew up, from the 8088/8086 to the 486 era, and were in our mid to late teens in the Pentium1 era. We have a special relation with them old machines. Not like todays teens that have heard that 486 is the new retro thing, after 8bit consoles became too expensive. To us, this is more than just retro. It is 90% nostalgia and 10% vintage. Its more than just retro.

my pentium 133 pc doesn't have that old sound cause it's old loud drive (Seagate ST32132a medalist 2132 2gb) failed from bad sectors so i swapped it with a quiet 40gb hard drive, then the Packard bell mother board failed so i pulled the pentium from it and ordered a ATX socket 7 off of ebay and parted out a broken dual core pc that i had in storage and put the parts in the case. LCD Monitor, Modern case, Quiet fans, Hard drive or CF/SD Card, Floppy Emulator, etc. isn't as nostalgic as the original crt monitor, beige case, loud clicking hard drives, etc. but it's fine for me with the modern parts, The noise level of my pentium 133 retro pc is almost equal to my main Windows 10 pc.

I moved into an almost all male dormitory floor back in 1994. I had just bought a 486DX2 33MHz which was faster than what the other guys had, so there was quite a bit of friendly envy! All of us upgraded during the three years I lived there though. I think I got a 120MHz AMD or something. Btw. we made an Ethernet network between four of our rooms by drilling through the wall and physically connecting the computers with Ethernet cables 🙂 Then we played Doom 2 multiplayer. So many good memories!

Many moons ago I had a 386sx 25 computer. I purchased it via mail from company called Giant Intelligent Technology in California. That computer lasted me 5 years. Unfortunately the company only lasted two. My AT motherboard sat in a case that had a huge on-off switch. That thing was red like a giant switch in a power station. When you threw the switch to turn the computer on it gave the most amazing clunk. it was almost like you were bringing an entire supercomputer online. Unfortunately I got rid of that case when ATX systems came around. I have often lamented that I should have kept it and figured out a way to make modern motherboards work with that switch.

They were over $1000+ (Canadian) for even 20 MB HDD lol. I had 486dx at one time I think. Then also had Cyrix 586, with that green heatsink too. Been thinking of some day of finding old 486/586 system, throw window 98/xp on it. But at moment. Bills/food and condo fees come first. Heck currently running 2700x/16GB/gtx 1080ti, want upgrade old GTX gpu but even Radeon 6900xt here in Canada is running $999 or more Canadian. WTF make no sense when that gpu is few yrs old now.
