That is exciting news about Madden, an 11 year break. I've got all versions from John Madden Football through to 2008. So thanks for the heads up, will get my paws on 2019! I loved Konami NFL, my friend and I used to play it regularly after high school on his parents' 386. As for the other games I …

Also Does any know what Video card this is ? Quick Google says it's an Asus V9280/64M Geforce 4 Ti4200, AGP not PCIE ;) By the way, I might be mistaken but I think the Terratec DMX 6fire sound module has a wavetable connector in the front connector box - I used mine with a Korg DB once upon a time. …

Nice, have been following this thread with interest, especially on the back of the P3/V5 build. Speaking of which I see a V5 5500 PCI casually chilling out in the 'pile of crap' - what's the plan with that one? 😁

Just needs to be configured using the jumpers, and you'll need to figure out the Turbo switch and power headers (and turbo LED connector if applicable). You might have a two-pin connector coming off one of the Molex connectors that used to be attached to this TD-52 front panel, if it's the original …

My dad's first PC in 1992 came in the same tower as this, but in the baby AT (2x5.25", 2x3.5") form factor and housing a 386SX-25. The case you've pictured is a full tower, so it's unlikely that it was larger than this one! The box sitting next to it seems to be for a regular mid-tower size case, …

You could unclip the fan off the top of the heatsink first, might save it from damage if force needs to be applied. Just squeeze it in on one side first.

The brand is BMC. My first monitor for Apple II was a green mono BMC, but without the smoked front. A lot of those old green screen CRTs had the perspex bubble.
