Ok its deattached.. though i managed to break one of the pins.. guess i wont be using that power button anymore.. good thing it was on the throwaway case... last question. Does it matter in what order i attach the 4 pins on the other power button?

Hmm conflicting replies. I did try removing the four cables first but they seem very hard attached again so was starting to doubt they even are meant to come loose..

Another stupid question now that i am asking them.. if i want to switch power supplies.. do these 4 things at the power button come off or should i remove the screws and move the entire black box with the 4 still attached? If they come off does it matter in what order i attach them in the other …

Pull the PSU out and see if you can rotate it and lift the rear edge along the rear of the case maybe? Edit: side note, I like the mobo display! Mobo display, now if only i could get this psu off.. the other half needed almost no force... this part ... well as said almost used my full force on it …

Ok never mind, rotation did work when i first lifted the board up a bit.. however i got one of the two power plugs that do not want to deattach.. i already put more force on it then i really am comfortable with but it does not move an inch.. tried to get a screwdriver between it for leverage but it …

This feels like a stupid question but after examinating the case trying things for an hour I give up.. I am trying to remove this mobo from a 386 but while the motherboard is totally loose there is no space to get it out because the drive tray is in the way.. i unscrewed and removed anythingi could …

Very interesting replies here, thanks for that. I do have a voodoo1 I am not using. I already have a win 98se system with a voodoo 5 5500. So now I am pondering to keep the asus, cyrix setup for dos and early glide games like gta, carma and tr1.. now I do not want to lose pure (non 3dfx) dos gaming …

Since you already have a 386, I'd say that a 486 is redundant. I would upgrade the CPU and keep the motherboard, because it's really nice for a fast Pentium MMX that will be fast enough for any DOS game. I am trying to follow here. Are you advising me to keep the asus motherboard but not use the …

I currently use a 386 for my dos gaming but for a while now figured I want to upgrade to a later model 486. Everytime I saw one it costed to much but recently got this for free: ASUS P/I-P55T2P4 Rev 3.0 motherboard with a Cyrix 6x86 P166 running at 133mhz. Now I was first planning on selling this to …

Anyone know if any such motherboard exists? I currently have to switch a lot between testing boards when dealing with both ISA and different spec AGP cards so would be nice to just have one system for all..

Does anyone know if there is any modern beige 27" or bigger PC monitor? (that is actually buyable, not if it ever existed) Everything is boring black these days and disrupts my retro style.

Hey, sorry if I wasn't clear enough. I am indeed not selling or offering here. I am just trying to decide which of these I want to let go and hearing other opinions, especially the "why" is interesting to make that decision.
