I do still like Scotch! Maybe I need some.
I kept that machine for games only and did not have time for many, so it likely just has D1, D2 and WoW on it and my game e-mail. Not to bad to copy and not too bad if I don't. I will do some research and see if I can figure out how to copy the drives and how to swap them. Then it sounds like I should convert the renovated machine into an office desktop and get a new machine for gaming! I like the sound of that.
Guess I better start learning about computers - old and new. I needed a hobby or two. Do you think I can put one together myself? I saw an article in a magazine once in 2006 that showed how to do it! Maybe I should wait and see how I do swapping the drives. (Pretty much joking about doing the assembly myself, unless you all tell me it is easier than I think. My real plan is to see what I can buy now-days with a reasonable budget. Probably not as good as what could be built, but likely a lot better than what I am using.)
Thank you all for your replies.

ps. I am really a posting newbie. Feel free to give me tips. I think I pulled this whole thread to the front of the forum and I don't know if there was another way. I was very happy to find the post where Pete listed what he bought because that was the best way I could think of to let you know what my system was.
