Dell Dimension 2100: The ultimate Windows 98 PC?

If you're seeking to get into Windows 98 and are looking for an amazing potential starting option, the Dell Dimension 2100 might be one of your best options. Of course, it's possible to get a superior setup for 98, but while hardware support was cut off in the mid-2000's (iirc), most computers past 2004 won't like this OS. I hope you enjoy this video.

Disclaimer: The version of Windows 98 used in this video was, obviously, Windows 98 Second Edition. This particular one originally shipped with Windows XP Home Edition, but 98, ME (Miserable Edition), and 2000 were also offered as well.

Second Disclaimer: It seems that since I acquired one and made this video, these computers have now fallen victim to those who jack prices waaay up on retro tech in general. 💀
