I found an original model iMac at the local Value Village one time. Don't really have room for it, though. Or any real Mac software that I'd want it for. If I did want to get into PowerPC Mac Stuff, a PowerPC Mac Mini would probably be more practical. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/taCI_F2O-D6bl …

I bought these last month. I don't know why ? Maybe I will take some authentic photos with 1990's cameras. Some of the first digital cameras I had.

Yeah, This is the best Gateway I have. My 486 Gateways are a Pain to work with. The original CD-ROM drive was broken during shipping. So I just stuck a DVD drive in it which is the same type as in the original gateway.

I just think it is nice to be able to put old sound cards to use by manufactures in one computer. I don’t want to have to build a single computer for every sound card or video card. If I can consolidate them into one computer I will. Turtle beach had some good software for there sound cards.

If you are looking for a graphics card that supports dual displays the Matrox G400 or G450 is a good AGP card.

Diamond Sonic Impact S90. I never owned any soundcard based on an Aureal chipset before and got this one for less than 10€ (shipping included) on eBay.
