    Cool Golden Queen of CPU's...

    Oh Ya, I know the feeling bro! Good on ya. Any chance you'd have a pic of that Gateway 2000 before you broke it down? I only have one PP myself but half the stuff was gone when I found the computer so I never got to see the outside case. I've been trying to figure out what it came from. lb

    A model number for that Gateway system would be of interest, still have it (minus the CPU)?

    Case looks very clean, was the machine intact when you got it?
