I like that. SX or DX? DX 😀 It's got a CD-rom and a pretty nice video card, so I suspect it'll be a 386DX-40. Really nice case! Isn't being homeless worth it to have a perfect 386 with turbo display? Definetely worth it mate! 😁

I'm not aware of any XP driver available for the NEC PCX2. Keep in mind: it is a 1997 graphics accelerator chipset. Windows XP came out much later …
