I Like Charity Shops, they're like steam and GOG but cheaper.

No fan, Northridge getting hot, need bigger heat sink for it.

Little update,
added a USB 80mm fan to the heat sink, heat was building up on a long shift (Probably more my paranoia @ 65 Deg c), will run PCSX2 @ 49-60 FPS depending on pal or ntsc, keeps below 45 deg c,

Must have been really throttling back before with the knackered heat pipe. barely 20 fps before with a lot of stuttering (video and Sound).

Added a GTX 660 eGPU. given it a few stability issues, working through them. Total system wattage around 200w inc. monitor

all in all positive out come.

Bottleneck cleared -74mhz from the gpu core.

just a note, these can't boot from NVME drives, but with an PCIe adaptor is possible to access as a secondary drive with the Lenovo NVMe Driver in Windows 7 64bit

Windows emulation seems non existent on this version of Embedded windows 7 Pro,

Glass of Linux WINE anyone??
