I was going to say "what are you doing out of Motors I thought you lived there?!" but even outside of Motors you're talking about motors

I built another Windows 98SE machine out of some old parts I had and works surprisingly well although its not finished yet as the retro case I had isn't a standard ATX case and I will need a PCI/AGP extension cable so that I can fit a video card and sound card horizontally in the back of the machine so for now I'm just using the onboard VGA and a USB sound device. I could not get the onboard sound to work so a USB Sound Device will do for now.
I played some games on it and almost all my old games work on it without any problems.
Here are the specs:
Micro Star MS-6787 motherboard
2.8 GHz Intel Pentium 4 processor
512 MB DDR RAM "I don't have any 256 MB sticks" but works fine with 512 MB
80 GB Maxtor IDE Hard Drive
3.5 floppy drive
Beige DVD ROM drive
Quick as in shouldn't be holding back other componentsVia, soldered and quick? Nah. I thought they had weak FPU like the Cyrix chips, so ok for business but trousers for gaming.
Built a windows xp retro gaming pc using E8400 cpu, gt 620 1gb gpu, 4gb ram, small ssd (yep I know know win xp and ssds so will install tool to apply trim), 500gb hdd, cheapest case I could find. Got a load of old games from charity/boot sales/ebay. Going to show young nephews what they missed!
I really wish my parents hadn't moved house 5 years ago or so. We dumped so much attic stuff, I can't even remember what anymore, and I certainly didn't care about retro stuff back then! I'm sure as a minimum there were quite a few big box games... Red alert, driver (still got the original jewel CD, probably my longest-owned possession), mid town madness, Network Q Rally...
