Yeah, I got it to work with speakers. Every PC I ever used had sound working without having speakers plugged in so I figured why would this one not working since I could hear the start up bleeps and occasional sounds while using Win98SE. So I thought the issue was with Doom itself. 😵 Thanks!

I have a Sound Blaster Live! Value, which has problems working on my Win98SE computer. Everything else works fabulously except the damn sound. When I insert a pair of headphones in to the jack on the sound card I can hear sound but when I take plug the headphone cord off the bloody sound stops. : …

My thanks for all the suggestions! :-D I am most likely going to just test out most of the methods that I think would prove to be useful for my case: As I already stated: CD-RW and USB. mTCP http://www.brutman.com/mTCP/ seems useful for DOS. changing HDD's. I already have an SD card so possible …

If I get the brass standoffs then I am all good to go. Right? I will just move the two circled standoffs to the two squares just like you said.

Well, the issue I had was that each time I would try to contact the seller I was redirected to the questions about the item page (The beige ATX computer case) and from there I ran into the error saying that I could not contact the seller. So I had to clear cache, browser cookies and I could not …

What are some file transfer methods (e.g. USB stick or CD RW) which I could use to transfer files or drivers from a new pc to an older pc? Specifically, I would like to transfer drivers for my V3 3500 TV to WIN 98SE and MS DOS6.22. I'm assuming that the Windows 98 SE PC is something like a Pentium …

The only big downside I'm seeing is that it doesn't appear to have many hard-drive mounts (I'm only seeing two) - it may be missing some front cage thing, or it may just not have many hard-drive mounts. If that doesn't matter to you, then it doesn't matter at all, but if you need more hard-drives …

Would my ATX Motherboard fit in an eATX case? I did read the description where it says that mATX, ATX and eATX motherboards fit but I am still not a 100% sure due to my unfortunate luck with these things. I rather not spend 70 dollars on this thing and then have my 440BX not fit into it (trust me …

I should get an AWE64(I am guessing it is the AWE64 Gold)? Yes, but what is the point in getting an AWE64 when I already have Sound Blaster 16 and a Sound Blaster Live. I will keep the Sound Blaster 16 since I have it boxed and there is no point in throwing it away when it will end up in a landfill …

Why ruin a perfectly good AT case when you can purchase an ATX case from literally anyware? Don't cut up the AT case, they are becoming harder and harder to find - especially big towers like the one you have. Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking. Hopefully one day I will make my AT case into a …

Well, honestly I think I rather keep it in its original format. I rather not mod the case. I may use it for another build someday. Maybe, I will mod it another day.

Do you have a picture or otherwise a description of what isn't fitting? Or a picture of the case as-is? Is it that screw-holes don't line up, or that you can't get any purchase on the screws in the case? SE440BX-2 and GA-5AX is an ATX motherboard, but may fit in some AT-style cases (some cases take …

Greetings! A while ago, I bought an AT case for my Intel 440BX-2 build. The AT case had a PSU, it is the largest case I have ever seen and best of all it had a turbo button. These aspects lured me in. I thought it was excellent for the size and it was only 70 dollars. :-D It finally arrived. I got …
