@ IPalindromeI: Thanks, those are great suggestions, but like I've said, I've got some boxes of neat junk saved up from cool PC case acquisitions and random curbside recycling projects. Lack of money and the experience necessary to do any kind of VM setup for this project preclude your far more sensible approach to the objective.
I've also got a couple of sensible approaches up my sleeve, but they cost money and this is a freebie campaign. Besides, Digital Junkyard Wars is way more my style! [}
] ]'> I'm having a blast doing this that way as well. Putting Macs into quirky old PC boxen I've done already. Finding and populating PC Boxes that match my stack of Radius Clone front plates is an ongoing campaign and this little skirmish fits right in with the overall war plan. [

@ g: I'm pretty sure that's the kind of burner that's headed my way, but HP_Maxi is out of spec being Win 7 and there's just no freakin' way XP will ever again touch HP_Mini. I've already done the repetitive head-desk thing for a full week trying to do that re-install and ubuntu rocks on that cute little sucker, thank you very much!
From the suggestions/information I've gotten so far for going the used XP Box approach, that's out of the question from a monetary standpoint.
I really need to get some PCB pattern digiflage fatigues for Digital Junkyard Wars, but austerity budget it is for a bit . . .
. . . I can't even afford that uber-cool Radius Color work smock oP found for me ATM. :-/
