I had one of those at work back then, probably one of the last from 2005. Couple of years later it just shut down one morning. We had contractors on site for PC maintenance, the guy came in, shot a glance at the model number, and said "I'll be back with a new mobo".

They sure knew all about it already... when they pulled the mobo out, almost all of the (orange) capacitors were puffed and swollen like so many little pumpkins...

Truth be told, after that episode, the old beast was still slow as molasses but indestructible... I had to make a fuss to get a knew one a year ago :-)
