[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1293375, member: 24098"] I'll be interested to see what you come up with. I know what it's like to be a starving student, trying to keep an old computer usable. I did it back in the late 90's with an old Amiga 4000 - and that wasn't even a computer that could run even somewhat mainstream software. That Amiga ended up getting spliced into a tower chassis, with lots of other mods to make it practical. It was a Frankenstein for sure, but it was a lot of fun playing around with back in the day. I remember overclocking it to 40MHz (from 25) so that I could play Quake - that was something to behold, all things considered. I can certainly see the appeal. And it may be a doorstop to some, but if you like it and think it can be made to function for your purposes, go for it! Just be sure to post some pics. I think the naysayers here mean well - they don't want you to spend money on what may very well be a losing battle. But hey, if you have the time, talent and resources, it's one less computer in a landfill, right?! [/QUOTE]
