Quick update: Still seeing mixed results with Zone66, OMF2097 worked after re-installing, and I haven't revisited Death Rally. The Radeon 8500 in the 9x build just died... Fan spins, but that's it. Replaced it with an 8500LE, but then realised the fan had seized... At which point I looked wistfully …

That' s a great case (InWin A500, P2) . I have the same one and it's for P2 build as well. Solid quality and the tray is great Oh, cool! I had no idea they were sought-after: https://reddit.com/r/vintagecomputing/comments/e94cm4 The single-piece cover is a little unwieldy, and I swear I've somehow …

Will have to go back through the bins of the extra stuff to find out for sure when I get a chance, but for video cards there're a couple of ISA cards I can't recall the make of, PCI …

I knew I was forgetting something! Meant to add that I don't have them in front of me right now, but will be able to post photos inside and out by next week 😀

Have worked in the industry for decades, accumulated well over 30 years' worth of old components from various sources, built many systems out of spare parts and gave them away as family and friends needed them. Got kinda bored working from home as of late, and it'd been a while since I'd sorted …
