I've had this D9200 sitting around for years, and a few days ago, I picked up this computer from Goodwill for $30.
Sooo this morning, after enjoying some coffee, I had the bright idea to see if I could get it to display something. I had to install fedora linux and connect another monitor to manually add and set the correct resolution, but the picture came right up.
I wasn't entirely sure if it would work at all because, when I turned it on, the menus and other elements appears distorted and split. Does anyone know what might be causing that?
It also has some strange color spots, which I believe a degaussing coil could fix. The one on the tube isn't doing much at all.
Anyway, I’m considering building a wooden case for it to sit in and use specifically for old console games. I might also look into getting an FPGA or one of those tiny Lenovo ThinkCentre computers.
Are there any reasons why this might be a bad idea that I'm overlooking? Playing Mega Man X on it is pretty sweet, lol.
After staining the wood , I think it would have that classic wood-paneled TV vibe, which would be pretty cool IMO. Might even throw some speakers in it.
