'Sir, you've been ordered not to take Polermo'
'Ring General HQ, ask them if they want me to give it back'.
(The description, not the computer. Though in retrospect...)PII 400.
32 MB RAM
The name of the motherboard escapes me at the moment...
A Soundblaster clone ripped out of an aging 486. No drivers means it doesn't exactly work, but it makes the back feel less lonely, until I replace it with something better. And louder!
Generic video card. Adequate, but soon to be replaced by an elegant 2D/3D solution.
No speakers. Yet. (Well, there's a pair of cheap ones which came with the aforementioned 486, but I can't use them anyway, so...)
No monitor. I've got a smallish burnt out Packard Bell model, which buzzes and smokes, but lets me set up the BIOS, so it isn't a total loss.
6X CD drive, also cannibalized. It too is merely filling a slot for its soon to arrive DVD descendant.
No modem yet.
The operating system? Why, what else could I really put on such a machine without feeling guilty? DOS 6.2, of course.
I enjoyed playing WarCraft II on this one. For one, it's a bit...fast. For another, in the setup screen, it lists the CPU as "486 or better." Damn straight!

This is a good university for everything else, but as far as the IT services go, they're all living in the past with no imagination or initiative at all. Grrrr
OK, that's my rant for the day.
