[Deskpro] Overview

The fully-assembled internals of the Deskpro.

 

This is a Compaq Deskpro I found in someone's pile of rubbish to be taken away by the council cleanup. I fully stripped, cleaned, restored, and reassembled it after adding a few cards. It's now _fucking pimp_ by 1999 standards, even if today's technogeeks may see it as laughable.
