Click...fan, HD spins up. Loud Beep beep beep beep beep stridently
constinuously.

Oh gawd, forgot the ram, click and waits 4 seconds for pc to shut off
(hint), scratching metallic noises clink, tink! CLANG. Crunch.
Clang, thuds. Scratch scratch.... click.. stuff spins up, BEEEEP
bep bep bep!...awww... repeats the process finally...

AWARD bios 1009 K7M EPA
Athlon 800

Memory counts up 4 times.

buzzes, humm...

BEEP!

rattle tink tink..

Windows 95 starting...scrolling shades disappears beep!

(nasty screechhhhh!! Ticking grinding noises and booting time
becomes longer then nasty noises stops, boot resumes normally.)

Empty desktop appears,

Detecting VIA sound system... disappears.

BSOD pops up. AAARRROOOOOOOOOO!

Another machine:

Snap! *BOOONNG!* Loudly.

Waits for tube to warm up...finally grey background appears
with pointer upper left corner, faint scratching noise from floppy
drive then in center blinking ? inside of floppy outline.

Thuds, soft churning noises....smiling face then
disappears.

Black and white of "Welcome to the Macintosh" banner flags up...

Churning noise continues...

Drops into desktop...click-click, click-click, rattles, churns and
churns some more...and stares at things...

Finder clock, settings all wrong, aww.. time for new
expensive battery and redo the HD spoilt by HPFS+. :-)

Cheers,

Wizard

PS: I had to put in howling part bec at one time I had one machine
that howled like mad when HD died instead of screeching
noise.
