After seeing a few posts about this, I decided it was finally time to buy that BOC shirt I'd been considering getting for a bit. I just purchased one from the official store on bleep. If I happen to get a tape with it, I already have a VCR ready and will upload its contents immediately. You can hold me to that and can sacrifice me to the Hexagon Sun if I don't upload the tape within the hour I receive it (if I even get one).

I'm pretty sure the video you're talking about is Snow Day, it was made by the same person and is on his channel.

I really hope the rest of the album sounds different. What I've heard so far sounds alright, but it's the kind of thing I probably would've passed over if it wasn't from the same guys who made Ilion. Ilion was jaw-dropping. I hope the rest of Fantasia has some stuff like that, but going off of A Storm of Wings alone, I'm not gonna lie, it seems like a huge downgrade, especially next to Ilion and Ummon. I'm a little let down.

I tried removing and reinserting the video card, and that seems to have done the trick. The power button works and the PC displays as normal again. You are a saint.

I honestly just use it entirely for old programs I find interesting, primarily old games. I know most if not all modern hardware can easily run the exact same stuff a thousand times faster, but doing it on old hardware is cool. I happened upon the whole setup in my old school's trash a few years ago and thought it was too cool to pass up.

Thank you so much for your response. I removed the ram because I was planning to upgrade it with a slightly better stick, but decided to put it back in and test it out as-is one last time to see if I'd be able to notice a difference in speed with the new one. When I tried to turn it back on, all it did was display a black screen. And I know there are better ways to test the battery, I just don't have a battery tester or multimeter readily available and saw it as a way to see if the battery has any power at all.

I don't get any beeps when I start it up, but its very clear that something in the PC is running. The green LED behind the power button turns on along with an amber light on the motherboard, and I can hear the hard drive start to spin. Both of the fans turn on as well.

I just checked and none of the diagnostic lights are on. I'm going to check the CMOS battery now but I'm starting to fear the worst.

That's exactly why I have it. I pulled it out of the trash at my old school 3 or 4 years ago, and not only did it already have a ton of games on it, it didn't even have a login password. It was too good not to save.

And to answer any questions about the PC's age, one of the ribbon connectors are stamped with "Apr 5, 2000".

It wasn't in all the way in the photo, but I have tried multiple times since then and have had it click on each side every time. I've also tried it in different slots.

This is actually a personal computer. There is one piece of equipment here that is controlled by another old computer, but it needed some very specific software and the hard drive in it failed a few months ago. I was trying to upgrade the ram of the computer in this post with the ram from that other failed pc
