Re: Repurposing a 2004 Athlon 64 system in 2021
I haven't worked with them much recently, but nodeMCU modules have wifi and are pretty cheap (under $3 if you buy from china). If you go the arduino route, that would be an easy substitute. When I worked with one probably around 5 years ago, the esp modules were pretty rough, but I imagine they have matured since then...
I plan on doing this with one of those old flat and deep power switches that were meant to go under the CRT monitors.

) is only DX8.1-compliant... which will still run a great deal of games from the early 2000's, but becomes limited with games made past 2005 or so. Also, it's a nice AGP card for Windows 98, in that you should be able to find drivers for it easily.
