A little hobby project I'm working on using mostly stuff I found for free

  Where is that USB cable going?

    To the phone I’m using to take the picture. I had it set up for tethering because I’ve got an XP partition that I don’t want connected to the internet in any way (for reasons) so I’m not shoving a WiFi adapter in until I’ve bothered to block all internet access to the windows partition.

    Mostly play old games. Lutris runs oddly well and I have an XP partition for anything it won’t run. I’ve also tried light web browsing, but somehow loading a modern web page takes more CPU power than the games I run and it’s a terrible experience lol

      yea that’s the evil javascript having to run the entire time… these sites also run terribly on a raspberry pi so yeaaaa that’s web devs fault for using too many weird libraries and frameworks ;(

  The desk design is more modern than the hardware.

  I am happy to see a thematically appropriate lamp and set of speakers.

    Indeed, though it did take a few upgrades before it ran smooth enough for my tastes. Ironically I’m using mint over a more lightweight distro because it’s the only one that ran correctly. All the lightweight ones I tried refused to recognize the GPU I shoved in it (which is reasonable, it’s a very bizarre PCI version that wouldn’t even run on XP without hacking the driver.)
    It even runs a few old games via Lutris. Got Starseige: Tribes running on it smoothly. My goal is to use an XP partition on it to run most offline games, and use the linux partition to play any online games since it’s more secure than XP.

    I actually went with this because it’s the same PC I grew up with. Well, actually this is a more powerful model, but it’s similar enough that it induces relentless nostalgia every time I turn it on.
