    What's the first think you'll be doing when it arrives...(clue: it should be examining the mobo closely BEFORE turning it on).

    Oh I can't turn it on. It runs on 220V.

    Haven't you got a new power supply for it in all this time? it might be one of those with a 120v/240v switch

    You'd have to be pretty stupid to buy a 30-year-old computer for $400 that you can get for $20, which doesn't even run on a standard power source.

    i used to collect old computers they dump into the recycling because i needed the power supply to power my baby amp.

    funny how i let the project sat for 12-13 years before i finally completed it during the pandemic last year. i needed those power supplies because when the project started high ampere 12v power supplies were costly and hard to come by but over the years with the proliferation of led lightings 20-30A 12v power supplies are everywhere and cheaply too.
