Nice system!

Voodoo3 is a great card, and getting difficult / expensive to obtain. I suggest having a fan nearby, to possibly prolong the longevity of the card. I use 2x 92mm fans and some AliExpress brackets in my similar system.

In my experience, finding a junk (maybe nonworking) beige computer with a beige optical drive is somewhat easier to find than a Voodoo3. Perhaps you'll be able to find some beige drives (without opening your new in box drive) , if that matters to you.

I got a PCI slot fan stuffed in blowing at the voodoo3 card, anything to protect that card. And I've gone ahead and broke the seal on that cdrom drive!
Only thing I dislike about the case is the molded in Systemax tiger logo but since it was 25 for the case and a ms-6340 mobo (needs recapped) plus a couple of other parts I think I'll live with the label.
This system will get stuck next to my athlon xp 2600+ with GeForce 4. Ti4200 system. And next I'm building a pentium I system.

And before anyone says it, I know none of these games require a 3dfx card but I had one back in 2000 so this is memory lane for me!
