Hey, I use one of those switches! Seriously, I use a Cisco like the light blue ones in my PXE setup.
I can't remember the last time I saw an OptiPlex GX100. I owned one ages ago- that photo brings back some memories from long ago....

I could use some junk like that. Thanks for sharing, Mike.

I've been told that the P2's and possibly P3's are now being sought after for "DOS Boxes" used by old school gamers. Have a few listed on Ebay and a few on CL right now.. thus far no takers.. may just have to find the right price point for them.
I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!

I don't know much about DOS box setups, but the older the better. DOS games can run on pretty much any hardware. Pentium I's are likely more sought after, especially due to the higher prices of 486 systems. Whatever you get above scrap value for a 16 year old computer isn't bad at all!

Matador:
If you can believe it I have several of these that are running XP PRO with 2 or 3 sticks of 64 MB RAM depending on the boards capacity and one even only has a 6.4 Gb Fireball HD in it! That one has (3) 64 MB sticks! The rest of them are running 2000 Pro, and ME. Both the GX110's have larger HD's (30 and 40 GB respectively) but how in the world did they manage to plop XP Pro on a 6.4 GB hard drive.. and still have much of anything left to function? WOW!

The basic requirements for XP are pretty low: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/314865
This is useless trivia, but I can tell you first hand that XP will run on a Pentium I. Back when it was released, programs were a lot smaller. I owned an Inspiron 5000 with XP. It ran with a Pentium III at 650MHz, 256 MB of RAM, and a 15GB hard drive. That machine was plenty fast enough at the time. If those machines didn't go online, they could have worked pretty well. Before I did more than scrap items, I still logged every part I had. I used a Packard Bell (I know, I know) with a Pentium I, 64MB of RAM, and Windows 98 on a hard drive that had 120MB of free space after the OS and MS Office install. All I used that machine for was one spreadsheet, so it worked pretty well....
Oh, how the times change....
Love the new avatar Sledge, sums up a big part of this country's problem.
