    I had a "web tv" box back in the 90s.

    That's what I started with was a webt back when i was 18 in 98. I loved the thing. Even did some hacking webtv things to make it go into demo mode and such. Built websites with it, on and on. Then in 2005 rented a computer from a rental store. After paying exorbitant weekly fees, decided to build a computer. It was all plug and play, component based just like working on a car. I was a mechanic so came natural. I'm such a nerd I put a 32" hdtv i fixed from the trash in my bathroom for watching while soaking in the tub or taking the am crap!! I even fixed a broken laptop and made it headless (no screen) to plug into the tv for netflix and what not. Works awsome. Sorry if i said the wrong thing on the video card. Was a quick glance although I would teach yaself mighty quick on how to hook bare boards up for testing. There is still a market even for socket 7 boards as much as 150 and up. Just last year sold 5 socket 7 boards tested with picture proof of it fired up on the bench for 75 a piece and one tyan dual socket p3 slot board server for 200 that went to europe.
