    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.

    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.
