If the GD-ROM is not working just replace it with a Mode2 CD drive from TSST or Lite-On - 4x speed.
Assuming you can hack the drive to fit and either work from the top or install a tray slot.
Seen plenty of DC mods involving everything from vertical-mounted optical drives to serially-linked with a SPARC server.
The thing could use tons of different hardware unofficially, with or without a hack, depending upon what you did.
Hell, I once saw a guy drop linux on it via a 'Live CD' and run a server off of the broadband adapter. Sure it was a custom as hell RIY distro, but it worked.
Poor boy couldn't afford to build their own VGA cable?
"The VGA adapter itself consists of merely a plastic case providing space for the VGA port and AV out (Composite, S-Video, and audio via RCA and/or 3.5mm TRS)."
It was built natively into the box, son.

Sorry, my industry has taken what you consider to be "top of the line" and discarded it as useless and obsolete for our purposes.
My personal connection is behind two layers of NAT. I have ZERO connectivity issues with my business site and network from home, without needing a VPN.
My site has taken a redditing, 4chan DDoS and slashdotting all on the same day, and stood up, most websites will never have the capability to claim that. And it was all due to my network construstion.
While you think I'm going to be obsolete, I'm busy producing full crops without requiring light for photosynthesis. I can grasp and understand systems and their processes far faster than you could possibly imagine, and streamline the entire thing.
And that is why I have my job as a research director.
Enjoy being obsolete before the technology even comes out.
I preferred the earmuffs. Lighter Aluminum-Nickel-Cobalt magnets, pretty level response range. Yea they made my ears sweat but hey, at least they actually fit over my ears, and comfortably, unlike cans of today.
Being heavily involved in an industry that relies almost entirely upon rare-earth materials, I saw this coming well before Japan. China literally has a full-out stranglehold upon the market, and it could cost us dearly in terms of domestic production in the near future unless we act NOW to revamp our own production facilities.
"If you think there are enough inspired individuals on 4chan to merely hit 'Refresh' on their browsers over and over and cause any sort of impact at all - well, which of us is clueless here after all? "
You would be the clueless one, as I taught a great majority of 4chan that the easier way to DDoS is to visit the site with firefox, and set the reloadevery plugin to refresh every second. It also happens to be legal (refreshing constantly for new information is a typical behavior on 4chan, turning that into an indirect attack method was trivial.) It also consumes far greater bandwidth.
I run QUINTUPLE NAT on my network, I have *ZERO* issues with multi-computer communications.
Guess what happens when everyone moves to IPv6? They're going to lose their IPv4 ANYWAYS so you might as well re-structure the whole thing if you aren't switching over to IPv6.
I built the network that my business runs upon. It's faster than most business websites (at least in my field of business,) and stable as can be.
Start at 0.0.0.*, these are the bare-root DNS servers, 256 in total. From those, you have the next level. Repeat until you get to 1.0.0.* and that becomes a NEW bare-root DNS zone.
And from there, you repeat this structure, like a downwards-branching model, very similar to a genetic tree.
This should (assuming a robust enough NAT with a large enough address space,) to allow the IPv4 internet space to last another few millennia, assuming optimal organization and assigning of address space at each level.
Of course, IPv6 was probably designed to do what I propose with fewer digits involved in the address, but hey, eventually it will hit its own limit and either my solution will end up being the optimal one or we design yet another new networking address space.
That isn't flamebait. here, let me show you how to do flamebait, from the master.
Every fucking faggot involved in ANY level of politics needs to be dragged out into the street and shot, Rethuglican, Libtard, or Dimcrap, from the lowest levels of the citizenry all the way to the top level of our government and MOST DEFINITELY every lobbyist. The fact that these groups of people want to force everyone else to conform to THEIR whims for only their PERSONAL (and usually religious-based) benefit demonstrates that these people are untrustworthy, dangerous, and likely to be unfaithful to their oaths of office, not to mention totally unfaithful to their beliefs which often interfere with their personal desires. Look at the voting records and look at the lobbyists if you need any further proof.
I hope enough people get up the nerve to start a civil war, because we sorely need one. And I hope the first person that dies is you, Mr. AC, because you're too cowardly to be visible and stand up for what you believe.
That crop is too dense for LED to work properly in that short of a space, so we had to develop new methods of stimulating photosynthesis without visible wavelengths of light.
"What are the Steve Wozniaks of biotech working on right now?"
I'm working on no-light methods of producing fodder grass crops in insanely rapid time for raising livestock, high efficiency LED-based horticultural lighting, and LED-powered biofuel production.
Hi, most FPS games would like to have a chat with you, since they've had adjustable and removable HUD elements and interfaces for a LONG time.
"2. Fast-travel options."
Hi, Fallout 3 called and said "step over."
"3. Multiple character slots."
I can get unlimited character slots across multiple servers for Maple Story, no charge.
"4. Sane billing options."
See Maple Story.
"5. Local servers"
See my FPS argument above.
"6. Voice chat. They've already said they will never add this."
Almost every UT2 and idTech4 and Source game has built-in voice comms.
"7. Playing with other players. Creating groups with other players is currently broken and will prevent you from completing quests or earning XP."
Overall, it sounds like most MMORPGs suck. I think I'll stick with my FPS games and pray for an actual story instead of having to grind my ass off in order to see the lack of a story.
The latest Urban Terror has far heavier requirements than the old 3.7 version.
Replace the guidance gear with one 0.15mm smaller with the same number of teeth. Quite often the lasers needed full re-alignment.

Except BizzyM is quoting Def Leppard's 'Rock of Ages' from their Pyromania album.
"Which suggests that MXM is a big fucking waste of time and money in all cases."
Yea, you go ahead and say that to my nx9240, which has had four video upgrades and still runs like a champion.

No, those will come with their own MXM expansion slot for dedicated GPU.

"Hopefully they'll find the guy who called it."
You assume only one person was involved in this call.
You are mistaken and you should probably dip your head into the hellhole of the internet more often.
You're willfully ignoring individuality. I am under 30, and I own records dating back to the 1930s.
Dunno, that 1guy1jar dude might disagree with you, there.

Been building networks since token rings, friend.
Good point, this is more willing ignorance than anything else.
Ignorant seems to be my favorite vocabulary word, next to Fuck.
Hear me out, I'll keep it tl;dr.

"[CITATION NEEDED]"
I see someone hasn't been paying attention to lobbyists and voting records of those in the House and Senate.
We've got about 150+ years worth of citations. Are you that lazy to look for an example yourself?
Everything not a singular element is a chemical compound of some sort or another.
No, I mean NO LIGHT.

It doesn't ENCODE, that's for sure.
