... "wait for the camera" ...

I agree, I get the whole this-is-staged-vibe.

Thats how it should be done though :)

Yeah, and the fact at the end someone looks at the case and says "Is that an AT?", which is the predecesor to the ATX, which is the current modern computer.

AT, for example, had a serial bus mouse (the 9-pin screw in kind) and the huge round keyboard connector. That's all PRE-PS/2. No AGP either, I believe. And more ISA than PCI. Scary business, there (:

Those l33t computer experts just crack me up ;)

(M$ paint is the best)

What?

And to answer the picture, it's kind of hard to tell ... seeing as how the case itself has little to do with it. But it looks old as dirt, so I would say probably so.

Ah memories. The AT spec goes all the way back to the i286. There wasn't even such a thing as PCI back then. It was ALL 16 bit-ISA which ran at 8 mhz. Which was a huge leap over the XT, which was filled with 8-bit slots and ran at 4 mhz.

Huge round KB connector = 5 pin DIN spec connector. I still have a couple of DIN to PS2 adaptors sitting in a box somewhere.

My first AT ran at 12mhz. It had 640 Kb of RAM, 384 kB of EXTENDED memory, a 512 KB SVGA video card (16 bit), which was a high dollar option at the time, a 16 MB IDE hard disk and the much vaunted "TURBO" switch on the case so I could drop the clock speed down to 8mhz. Why? Many programs back then didn't have an internal clock; a lot of programs simply ran TOO QUICKLY at 12 mhz, so Intel let you throttle the CPU back to maintain backward compadibility!

Scary indeed.

Erm.. Don't know actually.. I just did a google pic search for "old pc" :embarrassed:
