I’ve gotten really interested in old Computers since I got my Commodore PET 2 months ago, so to play some good ol MS Train Simulator and Stronghold 2, I got this massive beauty. Here is a little size comparison between it and my main PC

    …and loud? Some old machines have noisy jet engines fans inside

      You could probably upgrade the fans.

        A lot of cases from back then only took 80mm fans. To move more air, they had to spin faster and produce more noise. The loud fans were the upgrade 🙈

          Noctua to the rescue! (And maybe a fan speed controller.)

            I remember a little knob on the back of a pc, taking up a PCIe slot, connected to a fan controller

          True, but I think you can get some pretty decent high airflow 80mm fans these days.

            Turbo being activated makes your computer slower. Many games relied on clock speed for timing and were unplayable on newer computers because they ran way too fast. The turbo button slowed them down so you could actually play them.

            The “turbo” button switches the cpu speed from its native speed to half of it but it wont boost speeds beyond what it was originally intended.

                You can wire it that way, I do, but it doesnt mean you are making the cpu go faster than what the label says. You are still switching between normal speed and half speed, it just feels better.
