Tired of the fan blowing my papers away, I decided to find an inexpensive paperweight I had in my possession. A Pentium II 266 will do the trick!

That thing is long dead though. One power spike killed it and the motherboard it was on.

Hey, a 266 will run xp, even a 233 will run xp, my friend ran a gateway 2000 233 on xp for a long time just fine.

Add a Pentium 2 heatsink and you'll have a really great paper retention system.
