Dell Dimension XPS T500
My old PC. Had to replace the CMOS battery and set up BIOS again, but she works. Loud, mostly due to the ("Slot 1") cooling-hood thing over the CPU. The 3.5" IDE HDD is really loud too. Took out PSU and caps, fuse looked alright. It's a custom PSU so replacing with a modern ATX one won't work (different pinout). Fans can be replaced of course. Considered getting a cheap IDE-SATA adapter so I can pop a SSD in it and use it as a legacy machine for misc. cranky old hardware & software.
