Mother's Day Project HP Pavilion 7125 Retro PC Resurrection Part 1

I've been wanting to do this retro pc project for awhile. This is another HP Pavilion 7125 that I rescued from the e-waste pile at a former job several years ago.
It's nearly identical to the one my mom owned back in late 1996.

Specifications:
- HP Pavilion 7125
* Intel Pentium 133MHz CPU
* 80MB EDO RAM
* Windows 95 OSR2
* CF-to-IDE Adapter
- 4GB CompactFlash Card
- 1.5GB Quantum Fireball IDE (Installed but not connected)
- 4GB HP Branded IDE (Also installed but not connected)
* 6x CD-ROM (without CD scratching issue, yay)
* 3COM Etherlink III ISA 10BASET Ethernet Card
* Creative Labs Sound Blaster 16C ViBRA ISA
- Replaces Crystal C4232 Integrated Sound Card
* 28.8 ISA Modem (idk what brand, doesn't matter)

In this video I'll show you the insides and a few of the games I enjoyed with this PC as well as some of the surviving programs salvaged from the old hard disks.

Microsoft Works 4.0
HP Financial Calculator
SimCity 2000
SimCity Classic
