Probably stripped screw holes. I've thrown away some cases for that reason as well. They're getting hard enough to get hold of in any condition now, that I'd prolly just peen the edges of the holes in with a punch and re-tap them. I just got rid of a old ATX case from probably late 90's or early …

Not sure what a "Standard" rackmount case is. Even the ones common for audio usually have SOME oddities around them and they're increasingly approaching "unicorn" status as well. I'd also argue the right Supermicro is well worth the money, especially if you're good at eBay. Not immediately relevant …

Also be aware that not all server cases accept standard ATX power supplies. I bought a Supermicro case some time ago with this problem. It came with what looked like a standard ATX power supply, but had offset screw holes so that it would only work with thier certified, branded, much more expensive …

Yes the case requirement is tricky 13 slots! pciagp13s2lg.jpg I've purchased one of these from mercari which has modular parts of 3mm aluminium you can swap so it might work with a custom rear io plate: https://web.archive.org/web/20060208143054/http://www.gup.co.jp/products/gup/case/smartflex/ …

Yeah sounds good, I actually really like a PCI S3 Savage 4 for DOS and Unreal compatibility but not a lot of oomph outside those uses Got one of those too, but still haven't found a build for it yet. As you say, it's got a narrow range of practical use. I actually just got a SAGP 865 478 board …

I think the wide coverage system with the HD3850 is cool. However keeping reasonably potent W98 gpu alongside is tricky needing something like a PCI R9100 as a secondary vga. I do have a few PCI cards (including Voodoo3 and FX5500) as a secondary GPU for Win9x and DOS support. Also thinking of …

Took delivery of this AGP Sapphire Radeon 3850 HD this week. Really excited for this card, since it's the fastest 8x AGP card I know of. Planning to use this in my next iteration of an "all-in-one" Pentium 4 retro build. My previous build tops out at early 2000s XP. With this card, I'm hoping to …

@informatyk LCD requirements for modern systems: 1. True 10-bit color or higher to eliminate banding. This spec is usually very hard to find as a lot of monitors sold as 10-bit are really 8+2 and they rapidly change the pixel color to emulate 10-bit. This causes flickering. 2. Very quick pixel …

Could be that you are using too new of a flash utility to flash the BIOS... or that you need to update to a newer BIOS than the one you have that updates the Award BIOS version and the one you are trying to flash to doesn't have that functionality.
