>>107657287He doesn't want you to be gay, son.
What were you planning on doing with them (assuming you weren't just going to resell them)?
>>107657287That's one way to "communicate".
>>107657287What would you even do with those computers at this point? Install Linux and live on the terminal? I guess that's something but you could also do that on a pi and save electricity and not worry about the processor overheating or the ancient hard drive failing.
>>107657343Marathon on a Pi is gay.
>>107657392kek but true
>>107657326>>107657343Use one for old programs, another for parts, third was also going to be for parts, but years later I had a friend who was interested in using one as a case for a mini build (and was starting to think of doing the same).I was mostly pissed about losing the monitor. It's still a really pretty and functional piece of equipment.
I would probably just take out all the components and try to fit something modern in there, very cool case.
>>107657431Exactly. If you really wanted to go at it, mod the display connector to turn it into a wireless display or something.
>>107657343What kind of question is that?
>>107657287Why not tell your dad not to give it away?
>>107657343>What would you even do with those computersWhat would anyone do with them? The father gave them away to people that thought they were worth having, right?
>>107657541I did. It wasn't the first time he'd disappeared or caused me to lose my things, this wasn't a situation similar to the ones in the past, so I wasn't expecting it. In those cases, I always took precaution.
>>107657646Why do you think he's like this?
