Railtrack had some old PCs which periodically had to be reset using floppy discs. A new PC sat alongside but no one had the time to install and commission it. That was twenty years ago so the new PC is probably installed and now 20 years old. Presumably someone changed the BIOS battery each time it failed in both PCs.

My Backup PC, Gateway DX4200-09. Came out in 2009, I've only upped the ram.
Still runs good with Mint XFCE. Blow out the fans every 4-6 months (dust).
12 yrs and still ticking... Maybe it'll get to 35....lol
