Hey Gabriel, Thanks! Glad you like the case! Not sure of any specific brand or model, just one of those generic type deals I guess. :) But I really do like it too since it reminds me of a similar case I had back on the late 90's. Plus it has plenty of 5.25 and 3.5 bays for all kinds of goodies! ;) …

Hey All, The Sony CRX230A-U CDRW that I purchased arrived and I installed it this evening , replacing the Daewoo CD drive that was in it. Now I'll be able to conveniently burn CD's on my Retro rig, etc. While installing it, I took the opportunity to take some better pics as shown below. BTW, the …

Hey, My Retro rig is a PIII@450 with an Intel SE440BX MB as listed in my signature below. I've been extremely happy with it and use it daily to run both DOS and Win games under the installed Win98SE. Has been a stable and rock solid system. IMO you can't go wrong with the 440BX board. Best wishes, …

Welcome, Tony! It's wonderful to have you here! I'm Gabriel. Something tells me you like cars, but I'm still not sure what!

Hello All, I'm 54 years old and have fond memories of the computer days circa mid to later 1990's and even earlier but that's another story. :) Anyway, I finally pulled the trigger and have me a circa 1998 or so, retro gaming rig. It has the following specs: Intel SE440BX PIII 450Mhz BIOS Rev. …
