Apparently I’ll be able to power the switch off the systems 12v rail, so the power brick won’t be needed, allowing it to be a self contained system. I now intend to install the motherboard in a “chimney layout”, with the switch installed in the GPU bracket, which I’ll install above the drives to the …

That's a great idea! Thanks for the input! :) One of these it will be then! https://i.imgur.com/iYIjceJ.png The way this will work is that the switch will be setup to output the Matrox Millennium II as it’s standard setup and as soon as the Voodoos are fired up, it will automatically switch to …

I'm probably going to be modding my Voodoo2's in the way that's suggested in this thread, as I want to at least run the system @1280x1024 without any loss in 2D image quality due to the losses incurred by the passthrough circuitry found on these cards: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=77912 …

There's an adaptor Socket 8 retention hook to AMD retention hook avaliable on thingiverse if something non original will do. I posted this in another Socket 8 thread before, …

I've just ordered a CooerMaster Cosmos C700M for this build: (As my local supplier has been battling to acquire a Level 20 for me, and if he eventually does it can be used for another build!) https://i.imgur.com/ClTclPr.jpg https://i.imgur.com/7pbrCwp.jpg https://i.imgur.com/QxcqoLV.jpg It has the …
