Amazing how much junk you can find in those things, ain't it?

Looks awesome man, makes me wish I had an older rig I could work on like that.
I look forward to following this.

Also, if you continue to do the thumbnails in the threads what will aide the slower viewers greatly.

How do you have them saved?
You can use a hosting site like Photobucket and then do an [IMG] tag around it to make them show up in the thread.

Photobucket is very easy to use, has lots of great features and it's free.
