I'm happy to report that the old ASI case is now running a K5, pretty much an exact copy of the system I had in '96/'97 :). I've rebuilt the missing button from acrylic. Internally it was in pretty nice condition anyway. I'm super happy about it, thanks again Michael! FULL REBUILD/BUILD LOG or it …

Nice system, but the original case was nicer and better looking - IMHO :D It would mean more work to get the case back in shape but in the end I say it would be worth it. You could scavenge the insides from better speakers and put them in the original case. I like the whole configuration. Congrats! …

A friend of mine had a case with the same black interior, around 1999+-, a VIA MVP3, S3 Trio 3D 4MB, K6-2 333MHz with the 66MHz bus, (crappy chip :D, back then I had a Celeron 366A+440BX MSI, and a Vanta 8MB AGP :D). Later on he bought a 30GB WD300BB :D. He gave me the case in 2002 or so. Now I'm …

Today I cleaned the cards I found saturday. In about an hour I examined, cleaned and photographed the three cards. I made one attempt to unglue the heatsinks using the freezer method followed by a good dose of isopropyl alcohol but NO DICE! There was a ton of thermal glue used so for the time beeing …

Top notch! I like it a lot 😁, especially since it is very similar with my 5th PC - Athlon XP 2800+. Titan CU5TB Cooler, ABit NF7-S, 1GB DDR, Thermaltake Purepower 430W, Leadtek 6600GT 128MB AGP, Western Digital Caviar WD800JB, LG DVD-RAM. It's still in use at my aunts shop 😁

@Oldskoolmaniac - I didnt try to submerge any of the cards in 99% isopropyl alcohol. After I experimented with submerging in soapy water, in the end I had to wash the card with 99% isopropyl alcohol using the spray method just to be safe. From my experience, submerging the cards in isopropyl alcohol …

@foey - If you plan to use this platform very much, that small northbridge Abit fan has the bad habit of dying. It started to rattle soon after I bought my Abit NF7-S and then ceased up.

@tetrium - I also have removed all the heastinks from my motherboards and sometimes even the CPU's. The only motherboards with a battery inside are the three completed builds 5x86, K6-2 and the PIII 550MHz . All are DURACELL CR2032. Anyway they will be checked once a year for leaks, but I've yet to …
