Made my Windows 10 PC look and feel like Windows XP for nostalgia

Actual screenshot from an eMachines PC I rescued:
So far this is about as close as I can get it, even using a tool like customizergod to change icons. Turns out Win10 buries system icons in .dll.mun files, so they're hard to access unless you've elevated past TrustedInstaller (lol don't) so although I managed to change my Volume icon, changing the Network icon is seemingly not gonna happen. Thx Win10
The display is a Dell E773 LCD 75hz 4:3 1280*1024, yes I play CounterStrike 2 on it.. haha
Logitech Pro 9000 webcam from 2008-2009 (really nice)
Microsoft Wireless Desktop Elite Keyboard 1011, PS2 port but also USB compatible
Mouse is Corsair M65 Pro weighted mouse (very 2010s lol)
and the PC is a HP cash register PC running Windows Enterprise, that was thrown out by a UPS store that I cut a hole into the side to fit my graphics card, which currently is a GTX 950. PSU dosn't support my 3050 because only has 6 pin PCI power.
Does anyone know if I can get older Blockland versions running on this? I still have all my keys
Also, current music playlist is:
Suggestions!?
I probs need to add Gorillaz - DARE at least
trying to add all the songs that used to be in everyone's servers including my own
Mr Queeba:
this is so scuffed but i love it
JD:
HAHA, thanks Ikr it's sick. I love how rigged it is, but it's totally reliable I've had this PC going for the past 2.5 years as an emulation PC for the home theatre setup.
Got six (6) monitors that someone was trying to dispose of.. that they couldn't fix, that I fixed and now my main display wants you to never talk to him or his son again
Spent the last two days perfecting the system icons and fonts and everything. I compared it to a screenshot from an eMachines I resurrected recently and it's nearly identical I'm so stoked
RallyBlock:
Seeing msn again gave me flashbacks. I miss the windows xp days
Goth77:
as a PC builder this has got to be one of the oddest setups I've seen. As janky as it may look I can't help but respect the work that went into this
I do have a couple questions and concerns though. Why is the case upside down? What are the internal specs? Your aloe plant looks like it may be dying or needs replanted into a bigger pot w/ new soil
