      They were made in a period where quirky was ok, cooling solutions didn't have to be perfection for something to work right, and the idea of visual presentation wasn't as tightly-defined as today. Intentionally or not, they embraced some element of fun. Those are my opinions anyway.

      I recently painted a computer that I restored to a light blue or cloud Gray color. Is a 2009 compaq SR5710 that was black. Around the mid and upper 2000s was when computers were no longer painted tan or light Brown like they were in the nineties and early 2000s . So I wanted to recapture some of that light color energy, so I sanded down my computer computer and Re imagined what a light color could be, so I used .some furniture rated paint paint and now I think it looks pretty cool.

    I worked for Ipex way back in 1999/2000 - those cases were a single design, with the front bezel being updated every year or so as specs increased. And someone at the factory was notorious for screwing in the top cover screw as hard as they could - they were almost impossible to unscrew by hand.

    HI, Just a quick note, i worked for a large organisation until 1997, the IPEX was very common and worked well, notable was its power supply being quiet and was able to put up with power fluctuations in one older building that would make lights flicker or dim, most other PC's were Osborne's and laptops genuine IBM's, the other desktops would freeze or reboot but the Ipex kept working - trivial but tell that to some one who has not save a file for 2 hours
    Oh they were popular because made locally here in Australia gave it a big boost in the choosing criteria

    I have the same computer I used when I was a kid, almost 20 years ago. It was a 10GB hard drive that had Windows XP in it. It was actually meant to run Windows 95. Around 2015, my brother tried to rebuild it, but did a terrible job. It was around the time I finished building my first PC and used what I learned to rebuild the PC. So, I fixed all of the mistakes my brother did and did a complete overhaul after my parents let me keep it.
    Fast forward today, it uses Windows 95 (US and Japanese) along with new RAM, PSU a new AGP card and new HDDs (literally new in box too!)
    I have some plans for this computer, which involves a SCSI PCI card.

    I just clicked on this out of curiosity while eating supper. I found your cleaning ideas very helpful. However in my case before I touch any of these to much once it is in my house, I wipe it all down on the outside with a paper towel with window cleaner on it. Now the interesting part was this case design. about 8 years ago a fellow I worked with said his church was given all of these computers and they really did not want them and so I asked my sister who home schools many children she adopted, and she did want them. There were 7 of these computers. They were windows 95, 98 era, all having a 450 or 500 MHz processor. I was able to bump all of them up to 1000 MHz and Windows XP. Now the unique point was the case style. Almost the same design as this one at 3:59 with this other sound board on the front. However the ones I had did not include the lights or the buttons for the computer functions, only the volume control and the mic and headphone and USB jacks. The ones I had had a wider case and a regular full size ATX power supply, and two speakers on the front and option for two CD/DVD drives and the floppy was sideways in the middle with the hard drive mounted next to it. However it was apparently wired in to some larger control system using a large parallel 25 pin plug on the back. I was able to find a place to connect to the front of the amplifier and put a stereo wire with 1/8" stereo plug on it and plugged it in the back line out and that allowed the stereo amp and speakers to work with the computer. Funny seeing one close to that design.

    The adolescent feels you get from this IPEX P4 from back in the day, I feel about the same way with Acorn BBC Masters from secondary school during the late '80s through to 1990 in the UK.

    I did some voluntary work for my local MP back in 2004, and I think she had an Ipex PC in her office, I remember it had that volume control thing on the left hand side. Some relatives of mine had an Ipex PC in their home, I think it came from a university.

    You were lucky, the PSU worked properly. I tried to restore one 20 years old Dell. Since it was left in a humid place for a long time I cleaned up everything before putting power on but made one mistake. The old PSU doesn't have enough power out put and outright killed the original HDD. I didn't have a spare IDE drive so I had to stop there. Lesson learnt, the hard way: Always test with a known good PSU. Luckily the MB was saved. Later on I salvaged some data for a guy using this old MB.
    Edit: typo

      A Core Duo or Core 2 Duo from a couple years later would cost a similar amount to purchase nowadays and would use about half the power. Pentium 4s legitimately are room heaters, it’s not hyperbole like it can sometimes be. Partially because they don’t usually underclock while idle like a more modern chip, so it’s consuming maximum power all the time.

    This was my first every pc when i was a kid. I bought it second hand about almost a decade ago. The specs I got were Pentium 4 1.8 ghz, 250 mb ram, 40 gb hdd, cd rom, built in graphics with second 14 inch black monitor, new microsoft keyboard and a ball rotating mouse.

    You can mod that case to fit two 120mm fans at the front and two 60 or 80mm at the back, and this system will run so much cooler and whisper-quiet. I did that with a similar case and I'm very happy with it. Looking for another case like this to do the same mod
