I HATE THAT CASE. I hate them with the burning passion of a 1000 suns. My high school used them in all teh computer labs and I cant count how many times I cut myself on them.

Loved those old Enlight cases, had a couple of the desktop versions in the same design. Shame I had to sell them though to make room for larger things Lol 😈

Hi All, On a regular trawl of eBay, I've spotted someone with ten Tyan S1462 Dual Socket 7 boards (plus 1 cpu & ram) up for grabs at $33 a piece + shipping! The board is cheap enough, but you may want to negotiate shipping with the guy. Don't think I'm allowed to post links to eBay, so just a little …

Now what are the chances of me finding a SATA CD-RW/DVD combo with a white bezel? And yes, it was sprayed 😁

Out of the paint shop, just the SATA conversion to go now at some point. I'll give HWBOT a go on it shortly and see what happens 😁

These seem to be permanently set for 5v CPUs... I'm beginning to think the Overdrive 66mhz or DX2/66 are the only ones that will work in it!

Its running XP Pro to test but I figure it could easily run Vista/7/Server 2008 no problem.. The ram will be maxed out, hence I'll probably choose one of those latter OS'es. The SDS2 boards are certainly tough, this one has been in storage for years, along with a SBT2 and SAI2.
