Someone told me this Community might enjoy this big gal! Got her along with a keyboard and mice for 90€! Check out these specs!

Boi she’s also massive, especially compared to my main Gaming PC!

Both Train Simulator and Unreal work lovingly on it, though Stronghold 2 does struggle quite a bit the more I build… also awaiting Half Life 1 with all expansions and a copy of Age Of Empire (which I haven’t played a single part before) so thats exciting. Im also considering trying to get HL2 to run on it, but idk if it can handle that, what do you all think?

    Whoa, that Philips CD-RW drive just unlocked some core memories for me. That was my first CD burner. It was in a Dell Dimension XPS 233. How has your build been treating you the last 5 months? It’s awesome. Bet it didn’t run HL2. I tried installing the orange box on my XP build recently and couldn’t get Steam to connect.

      Haven’t used it in a while sadly. Getting my PC 10-III to run took a bit of priority… and then life happened and I haven’t really worked on any of my Computers. Gotta get done with some stuff before I can sink more Money into them!

      Sadly that particular CD-RW doesn’t seem to work. Never managed to get it running…

        Yeah, I know what you mean. Just this week I got my XP machine out for the first time in months and months. There’s just no time anymore.

        Getting my disc drives working was a bit of an adventure. I have a Dell E510 that survived the capacitor plague. But for some reason, the IDE controller is shot. Luckily it had two sata ports for the HDDs, but I ended up getting a pcie sata card and then two IDE to sata adapters for my disc drives. I’m totally surprised that it worked.
