Antec Sonata silent case
Amazing!
Helps with HDDs and general acoustic issues. The newer version of this case is even better, since it doesn't feature any "speed holes". =/

A fair graphics card, but with poor 2D acceleration compared to my Matrox Mystique 220.
 It's about the fans..

I grew sick and tired of how loud computers had been getting, ever since CDROMs and CPU fans, faster HDDs and fan-requiring Graphics Acceleration.

An early-1990s
A portable computer.
Clamshell, Full QWERTY-keyboard with a keypad and macro keys, authentic Intel 8086 hardware, true DOS, a task-switching application, and a number of GUI applications and productivity software. It is truly a portable computer.
Abandoned -- HP decided to switch to the Windows CE-supporting palmtops in their Jordana-series of palmtops, even though the 200LX was still a moneymaking operation.
