The Commercials for my MDG Horizon Computer

From between 2005 to 2011, 

I had a Genuine MDG HORIZON Computer fitted with an Intel Pentium 4 CPU.

And it ran WINDOWS XP HOME EDITION.

I've already mentioned this in a my 2025 post where I celebrated the 20th Anniversary of this PC.

But what I've been after was the model of this PC because I don't even know if it really was a 2400 as it's model number insinuated.

All I knew that it was a PENTIUM 4 Machine Running Windows XP Home Edition.

On top of that, Since it was 2005, It was one of the first PENTIUM 4 Systems using the LGA 775 Socket so It may have been my first LGA Socketed Machine.

Who knows.

But for now until I reunite with a similar model or ask my Dad if he still has the machine, let's take a look at some Commercials I found on YouTube that advertised the machine.

Some of these commercials are scattered in terms of airdates but they advertise one thing:

A Capable PENTIUM 4 Machine with software bundles, monitor, speaker, and Lexmark Printer Setups that money can buy you......

And you can either choose to pay daily in CENTS, or PAY FULL PRICE

For somehow less than CA$1000.

I believe the first video that I Embedded here was probably my model of MDG Horizon because of the 2005 airdate and I first had an MDG in 2005.

If the CA$ denomination I mentioned is any tip off, 

MDG was(and still is) a Canadian Computer Company.

And these Computers are primarily sold across CANADA where I live in.

Though I did read some posts from disgruntled Canadians talking about MDG's business practices, some which involve PXE Boot Environments, Down Payments, Rebates, incorrect mounting of the motherboards, etc.

Me?

I've had my MDG Horizon PC for 6 years and I never had any problems with it.....

Barring a 2011 Trojan Horse infecting my PC which I admit was more my fault for installing it without realizing it.

One thing I never had with my MDG Horizon PC was the included LCD Monitor.

As seen on this Photo of me back in 2006,

My family opted for that Silver Looking SAMSUNG SYNCMASTER CRT Monitor.

But as I've grown older, I felt like wanting to have a talking to with my parents for not preserving my old KDS Monitor since that was a 21" Behemoth.

I eventually got an LCD Panel later in life but it sure wasn't the one advertised in one of these Commercials as mine was a bog-standard aftermarket ViewSonic with built in Speakers.

I definitely had these exact Super Woofer speakers,

and the exact Lexmark Photo Printer as was advertised on the commercial though.

If things would have been different, I would have instead have had either a Dell Optiplex or HP equivalent.

And I certainly would have preferred an AMD Athlon64 or AMD Phenom instead of the Pentium 4s of the time period.

But hey, My life turned out as is and so is my Computer Setups.

My current System is a decked out AMD RYZEN 9 9950X3D System if you're gonna ask.
