Probably one of Compaq's own. What are you planning on doing with it?

What are you going to do with a 10 year old computer? I don't even think you can buy parts for it.

dam thats an oldy, open it up, some where you'll see a a sticker on the motherboard, or it might be etched in board/side of the case

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compaq_Presario_5000

Quote:
*
o 333 MHz Intel Celeron MMX Processor
o 3.2 GB (3.2 billion bytes) Hard Disk Drive
o 2 MB (2 MiB) ATI Technologies Rage LT Pro Graphics Card
o 2 x USB 1.1 Ports
o 15" Compaq Presario MV500 CRT Monitor
o 56K Dial-Up Modem
o JBL Stereo Speakers
o Game Joystick Port
o Multimedia Keyboard & Mouse
o 24x LG CD-ROM drive

Notably, the 5020 was supplied with a 15" Presario-branded CRT monitor and high-end JBL stereo speakers - identifying it as a true multimedia PC of the era. It was supplied with Microsoft Windows 98 (First Edition) preinstalled and available for reinstallation via supplied QuickRestore Disc.

windows 95...those were the days brah!!

now i believe most of them were shipped out with a AMD Duron
microATX motherboard
if you mother board is perfectly square (9.6" by 9.6 was the measurement, or it could have been 10 by 10) then thats what you have
=====================================
if its more like a rectangle (8 by 11 or 8 by 12) then its the less common AMD mini-ATX

proof that these old data base books in my room do come in handy!!
