received in current state.. as for as testing goes, I open it up to ensure the units free from obstructions, check connections, plug in the power cord, attempt power button, checking bottoms responses, if drive opens, and for this one, I actually attempted it on a display... results... insides relatively clean, the unit powers on immediately, can hear drives making noise, bottoms all appear to be functional, disc drive although making noise won't open... appears to either be missing or just includes space for a case fan..?(see pic) via a VGA cord, I couldnt get anything to display... do note however, that means very little in terms of wether or not the device works as I'm not working with the best of displays either.. theyve given me trouble repeatedly with even my modern PCs, soooo... tht and when it comes to these machines from before my birth or those from when I can't even recall... I hvnt a clue how best to troubleshoot them.. a lot of cords n such iv never seen, etc without display however am uncertain of specs besides the fact it's got a Pentium in it, as for which, Im not wanting to remove the heatsink to find out as I'm out of thermal compound... e.e
