On Kickstarter there is a Project with a new All-In-One Remote!

The mobo is a Gigabyte of some kind (can't remember the model no) and
the CPU's an old Athlon XP2400. Yes, it's that old!

An Athlon XP2400 is so old that the latest raspberry pi CPU is probably
faster.
For example, this very bare basic PC is 10x faster:

If you're just looking to replace the board, it's much harder to deal
with finding compatible ram/cpu than finding a board with PCI slots for
the M-Audio.
Basically it sounds like the only thing worth saving (besides case and
PSU, but the PSU may also be questionable these days) is the PCI audio

I have a few CD's who don't rip at all but never had a partial CD that

In the few cases where the CD wouldn't rip it was because of a copy

songs of the CD but one can

Mr.
I doubt that any retailers would allow you to return a CD if you claimed
you couldn't rip it. You could try claiming that it would play and
seeing if they'll exchange it for another copy. Few, if any, places will
give you a refund for a CD or DVD that can easily be copied.

I've considered just switching to a high end laptop, but they cost silly
money (and getting XP installed on one is a major headache).
Go with the times, man.
XP is a horrible idea.
I see.
A few points then.
If you buy a new PC it is unlikely that there will be XP drivers for all
of its hardware. There isn't much wrong with W7 except it may take a bit
of getting used to.
If it is a transfer station do you really need 900Gb of HD space?
I think I would look in the second hand
Getting XP installed on _any_ modern hardware will fall somewhere
between a major headache and impossible. More likely the latter. They
stopped writing XP drivers for hardware years ago. Most chipsets and
peripherals produced in the last five years or so have no XP drivers.
If you really think
