Sort of, mostly really old games but one simulator I muck around with brings modern top of the line hardware to it's kees. My current hardware struggles big time on 900p res lol. Forget even 1080p
high powered potato is what my rig is. Good at sucking power and making heat for nothing.

Xtree Gold, hell yeah. File manager of choice. It had a hex viewer or editor too I think. So before windows, was very convenient to use. And supported 60 line text modes. Eventually XTree for windows came out, but by then there wasnt really much point anymore. I tried that but never got in to it.

XTreeWin SUCKS at best!
Yup, xtg has a hex viewer/editor.
Also has viewers/editors for other file formats as well.

What I have the most of is actually old PC parts, various ram, mother boards, CPUs, heaps of HDDs, DVD burners, floppy drives, GPUs, sound cards etc.. and tons of cables and network bits and bobs.
Another bit lot I got is heaps of engine harness supplies, GM colour coded wires, Delphi terminals and connectors
référenceur site web Paris, harness protection and mounting stuff etc.. I got enough to supply myself for a couple of full harnesses from scratch.
It's a big project you have. Maybe you could post pictures so we can take lessons
