Nice, great to hear you got it going. 😀

I think the CPU would be more of a limitation for latter-generation games. Up to 2010-2012 sounds about right. Anything up to (and including) Unreal 3 engine should be OK, like Mirror's Edge. ME (2) Catalyst would be a no-go, likely. GTA V should technically "run" too... just not very playable due to CPU. Source -era games should run beautifully on that setup, though.

And that's just the cherry on top. Currently I'm in the process of sourcing the extra drive bays. 750 ZIP already sent, looking for a USB-powered 250 in the meantime too. Also found an affordable 2,3 GB MO Fujitsu drive from Hong Kong. The 9.1 GB drive will have to wait the longest, since those are actually quite expensive. But then I'll be able to pick up extra media at my leisure at least and build up a collection.
