Out of the Blue

Hmm, Ask Slashdot (thanks Ant) tackles the question I just posed a couple of weeks ago about the merits of building a DOS machine versus playing older games via DOSbox emulation or the like. I'm pretty sure building such a retro-box is a dream I will never get around to, but this has increased my temptation to try by that much more.
