Been taking it easier this week after the big SC3K retroactive last week wiped me out, so here’s a straightforward video about a boring old computer.

And the boringness is the whole idea! These Dell OptiPlex machines are cheap and plentiful for good reason. Many good reasons actually. So I grabbed one on a whim recently and decided to give it a go, not only to see if it was as boring as I assumed but also to see if it somehow survived the capacitor plague.

Yep, that’s it! Simple stuff to go up while I work on more involved things. I’ll be back next time with something odd if all goes well. Have a good one, and lemme know your own opinion on the most unwanted, boring system if you so desire!

The Most Unwanted, Boring PC: Dell OptiPlex GX270

For some reason I bought this cheap OptiPlex from 2004. So let's take a look at it! From my view, it's easily one of the most undesirable computer systems ever. Boring looks, basic business hardware, bad airflow, and suffering from capacitor plague. Does it even still work?
