A donation to the museum is this Acer Aspire M3201 desktop PC from the Vista era. It was described as not working, which is true
This "budget friendly" PC was originally released in 2008 and features an AMD Phenom processor, ATI Radeon graphics, and 2GB of DDR2 RAM with a 320 to 640 GB hard disc. I can't be sure of the actual specs as it's full of dust and seems to be dead at the moment
It would have shipped with Windows Vista Home Premium installed
Typical PC case of the era, ie nothing special
The labels on the side
Top mounted USB 2.0 and audio connections next to a fancy panel
The rear includes HDMI, optical digital audio, and Firewire as well as the usual ports from the era
The front has a sliding cover to hide the four card readers, USB, and Firewire sockets. If this is anything like my old Acer Aspire then these will be connected over USB 1.1. It also had an Acer features sticker under the card readers which had turned to a dusty chalk like substance and got bits everywhere so it had to be removed and cleaned up
This case is full of dust and needs a good clean out, I wouldn't be surprised if it was the cause of the PC's failure
More dusty parts
The fans start up and both the drives initialise but not much else happens, the power button will shut off the PC if held down for five seconds
