Linux is actually a great choice if you are into classic PC gaming, much easier to setup and run the right stuff there then in modern Windows. Support these days in Linux for big games is way better from what I've been seeing. I'd still be hesitant to have it as my only os for now, but Linux overall seems to be getting better and better. --- http://myanimelist.net/profile/dragon504 http://followmy.tv/u/dragon504/time_wasted <cite>dragon504 posted [p:941196856] in my friend ...

I bought a relatively barebones unit from Hypersonic about 15 years ago, although they are now defunct. I ordered it without drives since the ones I wanted were just hitting the market and I had to find them elsewhere. <cite>Red_Frog posted [p:941212932] in my friend ...
