I used to make eWaste jokes, but what I'd give for a connex box full of 80's and 90's PCs and CRT monitors at this point. Enjoy!

this sounds like a cool project op. any ideas what are you gonna play with it?
i did something like that many years ago. my then place of employment wanted to get rid of some old office computers and i got them for free so i bought a table and made a little lan party table to invite frens to play. i built everything and had the perfect setup with 20 games (counterstrike 1.6, warcraft 3, starcraft, quake 3 and many more). then i made the party and it was awful because i didn't like my friends anymore and stopped being friends with them. so i only used it once and then threw it away.
hope your project will turn out better then mine 🤣

Thanks
As of now I just I just installed an old M-Audio internal sound card I had. Took me a few days of looking to find the driver disk but all is good. Hooked my Rocket 6 spks up and the sound is great.
I am still looking for all of my old game disks. Need to get to my storage unit. For now I'm only playing wolfenstein and a couple of pinball and card games I knew where I had put them. One game I know I have and can't wait to find is delta force black hawk down. It was one of my favorites.
I also installed a Cakewalk recording software I had, and found a version of VLC that would work. I'm looking for that old winamp player online. I want all those old skins that came with it.

Do you have Hover and Microsoft 3D Pinball?

@previous (FuckAlms !vX8K53rFBI)
I don't think I have Hover. The pinball I have has 3 machines on it. Space Cadet, Skulduggery and Dragon's Keep. I had these burnt on a disk. I think I got it off one of the old fileshare sites possibly. Maybe like Limewire or Kazaa I don't really remember. But I use to play games like that for hours and I still find them fun to play. I need to get to my other disks which are in my storage unit. I know I got a boatload more games and assorted programs there. I still have photoshop 6.0 and I know that will run on xp.
