Artec Celeron 700
A 700Mhz Celeron in a case that originally housed a computer built by Arche Technologies.
Eight computers that look like this were acquired from HHS in the early 2000s with at least one being scrapped and one being sold. They were all 166MHz Pentium MMX with an MSI MS-5148 motherboard. This one later had its motherboard replaced with a Socket 370 board and 700MHz Celeron CPU. It was at one point in the early 2010s used for trying out Haiku.

This machine currently has no allocated task, so it lives in storage. It was pulled from storage in April 2024, fully dismantled, all components cleaned and tested, then reassembled and inventoried as COMP-0004. The floppy drive was lubricated and battery replaced. The hard disk passed all tests with zero bad sectors and is currently formatted with Windows 98 DOS.
Current Issues
CPU could probably do with fresh thermal paste.
