Anyway, any recommendations for a good vintage Full ATX case? Preferably not a big tower and not server case...

Those two beauties - Intel TC430HX Tucson (interesting because it's Socket 7 HX motherboard but in ATX form factor - unfortunately it's version without integrated Virge) which came with Pentium 200MMX and Tyan Thunder S1837UANG which came with a single PIII 600MHz (Cu-mine). I negotiated a …

When I bough it I didn't realized what was hidden inside... I'm looking at the pics and I still don't realize what is hidden inside. Looks like all Tandon parts and a Hercules card. What am I missing? ... Nice system BTW! :) Well, I meant that original Hercules (well, actually it's GB102, and …

This Tandon 286. I have two of these now. They are way better build than the original IBM 5170 - much heavier, better quality materials... When I bough it I didn't realized what was hidden inside...

This thing... I wonder if it will obey me and open the pod bay doors... well, in case it will go rebel I will have two reset buttons at my disposal... Anyway, I don't think I will stick to this machine, I have too many of these already so I will probably clean it and put it on sale...

https://www.symphoniae.com/misc/vogons/bbund_s.jpg Recently patched a number of Brøderbund MPU and Ad Lib routines for RS-232 MIDI and OPL3LPT usage, respectively. Brøderbund heavily supported the Tandy DAC as well, making the 286/10Mhz-based Tandy 1000 RLX an excellent system for these titles. …

Another big tower system... I try to avoid them (with mixed results) because I don't really have space for them, but I couldn't pass this originally black with dual-color MHz display. Internally it came with DFI MVP3 board, K6-2 500MHz and Creative Graphics Blaster TNT. Case also has the metal stand …

I don't mean to be rude, but.. The video quality doesn't quite do PAL or VHS justice. Lot's of interlacing artifacts, over saturation etc. My first thought was "was this an AVI file, originally ?" - On the other hand, if it was, it would fit the 1994 days just nicely. 160x120 @15 fps make me feel …
