In any case I'd be tempted to go with a modern case with a window and lights. I'm currently building a pentium 3 along those lines myself all be it just a M-ATX board. |

Great thread.
I've just been getting into DOSBOX to be honest, and now have Duke 3D and DOOM up and running. Also re-installed Unreal Tournament 2004 and resurrected my home made custom maps for that and Duke. Re projects though..... Pentium II My old Pentium II is still at my parents place in the UK, so I'll be taking a look at that in december with a view to resurrecting it and possibly shipping it back to Australia. From memory it was duel booting Win98 and WinNT when I left it ~17 years ago. PC's by the PALLET LOAD An evil plan I've been tinkering with is grabbing a pallet of used office PC's from auction, cleaning them up, and flipping them at a fair price. 3 pallets went up recently but I missed the auction as I just wanted to see what they sold for, but generally they sell cheap, and the same machines (HP i5's) were going for around $250 (AUD) on ebay at the time. Depending on what you get the pallet for, there's a potential for ~$200 profit per box without ripping anyone off. The thing that makes me weary though is all the hassle of becoming an e-bay seller. Plus with those numbers, it's clearly a "business" so tax implications and I'd have to declare second income at work, and where I work, that has to go through approvals......unless I up-skill the wife to do it. That's an option. Do make it work of course you first need: 1) Around $3500 to gamble on a pallet of dusty old PC's that may or may not be missing bits 2) The space to store them 3) the time and knowledge to work on them to make a fair and honest sale 4)Space to store them 5) Patience. They're not all going to sell in 1 week...or a month.....or maybe even a year, and the value will be going down every day they sit. So while it's possibly good money, I wouldn't call it fast money. |

So the Win98 machine connects via ethernet to the modern PC, which in tern connects to the interwebs. Or setup a dedicated Linux firewall. That's what my mate who works in cyber security for the banking sector does at home. Or last option, and this is a VERY last resort......stop surfing for pron. |
