In 1997, this PC was bought from Gateway as the second and last desktop PC I ever purchased new . This PC exemplified PC or PoC before the concept was ever thought of.

- Bought as a Gateway P5-133.
- Ran TV card and played DVDs.
- Upgraded several times and served as Gigabytes server in the early years.
- Replaced by the Original Gigastrand Server then repurposed (and later repainted) as the Gigabytes point of sale system where it served that role until the store closed in 2006. It was sold with the assets of the store when it closed.
All told, this system provided a solid 9 years of service in various roles from home PC to server to point of sale. Because of the ability to convert from tower to desktop, it is one of the best cases I have ever built with.
