  1. I will be on a limited budget with my purpose for going overseas being studies.
  2. Ya I do still have all the original retail boxes, just getting a case overseas for me would require a trip into the closest major city. Is definitely the safest option, just not convenient for suitcase space.
  3. I'm gonna be moving to europe in a few months and was wondering how practical it is to take a desktop as carry on for a flight, I don't want it thrown around. I currently have a cooler master 500p meshify and already know its too big, so I might just box up the components and get a cheap case at destination, but I'd rather have a case all ready to go. Was thinking along the lines of Master Box Q500L, Thermaltake Core G3(would require a sfx psu), or Rosewill Cullinan PX. Any recommendations or tips for flying with a desktop or cases?
  4. It says an unexpected error occurred while configuring the network bridge(iSCSI is enabled on both computers and the firewall) running the troubleshooter on the ethernet port says the it doesn't have a valid IP configuration. for the hotspot the mobile can only be shared over wifi or bluetooth(not an option) and the hotspot its self just redirects to the network connection control panel
  5. This I have done and still no internet on the 2nd computer
  6. How would I go about connecting computer 2 to the internet via wifi card on computer 1. I am not able to get a wired connection to computers from router. If not possible, or better, would I go about connecting computer 2 via a repurposed old router to the internet? notes: computer 2 is running ubuntu mate 32bit as it is a recent revival project, computer 1 is running windows 10 and has a wifi card to receive internet.
  7. The other day I was spring cleaning and came across several old pc's; 2 still kicking and one with dead capacitors on the board. Of the survivors was an e-machine from '01 at most, and a Dell Optiplex 210L from '06. I cleaned them off, both the system and HDD for protection and decided on the Optiplex as the most usable. After some light research I found the possibility of upgrading on the Optiplex's pentium 4 with the LGA775 socket, but decided against spending money as I want this as a pure revival not a "million dollar man" project. Wanting some form of security I found the novelty of installing windows 10 home, on a system that can't run windows 7 to my knowledge. The problem with windows is the ram requirements for almost everything, so I turn to linux for an even more bare bones os to put less stress on this old horse. The endgame is to have it as an emulator for it to run retro games, other functionality is a plus. The system has a pentium 4(1 core), 1gig of ram, board has A02 BIOS, and only 76G of storage when unformatted. Being as this will be my first venture into linux, what would be the suggestion for a lightweight linux os that won't cripple the system when an emulator front like RetroArch is run? If it is an option could the emulator front like this be the sole os?
