Well I guess I'll forget using the old E-machine for sound and Video.
I'll keep it. I have a couple small machine shop machines and I'd like
to rig them up cnc. Cnc will run off of almost no machine at all so it
will be good for that. Those old E-machines may have been junk but I
paid $300 for it at a time when I didn't have $500 for something
better. I ran until 2003 with replacing a fan and a power supply both
together were less than $100 and I worked it pretty hard writing a
couple books and doing a lot of picture editing in Photo shop.. It
still runs. Was a good $300 dollars worth id say. there is always a
place for a cheasy piece of equipment that is cheap. Model T Ford or
Volkswagon both were cheap and much loved.
