This is my first computer ever. The hinge is busted. I would love to get it repaired.

I actually found two desktops, the other is an Insight. Turns out this Gateway 2000 isn't factory, its fully custom on the inside? Google-ing tells me all these parts are on the better side, but I was only a wee child when this was new.

I posted another thread about my Compaq Presario build, and someone asked what DOS PC I was going to build next? I laughed because I never planned on one, but this just fell in my lap. Would anyone familiar with these years and parts tell me if what I've found here is enthusiast class, or run-of-the-mill please?

Edit: Took out 486, I was mistaken

I currently have several Zykon Millennium Pass YK2000 ISA cards, all still sealed and in perfect condition.

They’re some pretty interesting hardware from the late 90s, related to the whole Year 2000 / Millennium Bug thing. Back then there was a lot of concern about older PCs having problems with the date when the year 2000 arrived, so different hardware and software solutions were made for it. I’m putting some of them up for sale since I don’t have an old ISA PC to test them with, and I’d rather they went to someone interested in Y2K hardware, vintage PCs or retrocomputing.

I’ve listed them here:

If anyone knows more about it, I’d love to hear
