Short, short, short form: Before installing, install setfsb, then add a REG_EXPAND_SZ (named, perhaps, underclock) like this to the registry in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run:
c:\programs\setfsb\setfsb.exe -w0 -s50 -q
Mattel's Intellivision was an extremely advanced design for its day; although its clock ran at on
While this PC is largely uninteresting, at the moment www.accurateit.com has them for $25 shipped. They are coming with 128MB RAM, ~4GB disk, and a CMOS password. I envisioned using this system as a NAS, containing my 250GB disk. Sadly enough, this is currently my largest-capacity disk, and I have it connected to my laptop (my fastest machine, a 2.16GHz Core Duo-based HPQ mobile workstation with Quadro graphics) via USB2. Just making a high-volume data transfer between that disk and my internal drive can raise CPU consumption to as much as ten percent for sustained periods of time (although it's typically more like three to five percent.) While this is pretty minimal, it's entirely senseless. IEEE1394 has much lower overhead and superior throughput, but the connector on my system is tiny and thus annoying.
I am a frequent customer of geeks.com. They sell computer hardware, and a bit of software, and some random electronic crap thrown in for good measure - some of which is pretty exciting. My latest purchase was a 3.5" USB 2.0/IEEE 1394 FireWire Aluminum Ext Hard Drive Case which is a cute little shiny aluminum number. Unfortunately, it has a heat problem and shuts down after a couple of minutes.
I own a GRiDPad 1910, upon which I run PC-GEOS 2.0 with Graffiti. I wrote a Guide to installing GEOS on the GRiDPad 1910 which will help you get to the same place. Once it runs GEOS, it functions as sort of a giant PDA. There's a great deal of old PC-GEOS software which can be run on it, and it has a 640x400 monochrome CGA display.
