Well, my post in the DOSBOX devel forum got removed, and I'll be the first to admit it didn't belong there (heck, I said so in the post). Apologies to whichever moderator's time I wasted.

Moving on... all I really wanted to say was that a while ago, I built a computer that was quite a DOS box. Here is a little page about it.

I hope you find it interesting.

That's the kind of thing I'd really like to do, but I don't have the materials or time... nice to see someone is still doing stuff like that.

You're right!
But you can enable the "Spread Spectrum" option in BIOS - or simply wear one of those:

Does the comp get adequate cooling by putting it in a paper box?

Never thought this thread would be that long, but now, for something different.....
