It has a Pentium 4 CPU 2.8GHz which is kind of cool. The hdd is 80GB Hitachi that has SATA 1.5GB cable which isn't too bad at all for it's age.
To remove the floppy drive you need a stub phillips screw driver - there is only 2" clearance for screw driver.
The side panel has a cheap mechanical lever that unlocks the side panel so it can slide off. The one I have jammed and I couldn't remove the side panel. I finally got it off with a pry bar. Afterwards, I removed the lever and put two screws to hold the side panel.
The PSU is 250W which is good enough for what is in there. It was made in China so I don't know how long it will last.
I haven't got to turn it on yet because the Pentium 4 bracket had broken and I am waiting for a replacement from an online store. The bracket is too brittle as it is made of cheap thermoplastic. A computer shop in Morehead City NC really screwed it up. The fan and heatsink was hanging loose in the case and when turned on, it would start to power up then turn off. I think the aluminum heatsink was touching the mobo.
