It´s a old built and the HW ist a little more mixed, but I like the yellow PCBs ^^

It will be updated soon...

It doesn't need updates, already flawless in my book.

the only think that irks me is that green heatsink x3 that should definitely be gold to fit the theme.

Oh, that's almost the exact build I am planning, I have sourced 4 400 MHz Mendocinos, hoping that 2 of them might be good for 100 MHz, an then a couple of Golden Orbs modified with room for capacitors .. Probably no or only one Voodoo, though - it's just so expensive 🤣

Nice clean build. And 4xISA on a ATX socket7 board? I am jealous.

Made this i486 DX4/100. It was an interesting experience because I don't think I've ever build anything from this era by using mostly NOS parts. Biggest problem was the two VLB cards which obviously had a resource conflict when most of the time the machine refused to POST. I seem to have fixed it by replacing the S3 with a Cirrus Logic. I was tempted to create a 5x86 based PC, but I feel it's more at home in a PCI board. I did have an ASUS board that had it all (ISA/VLB/PCI), but as it happens it only has a single VLB and it would really piss me of if I had to use a standard ISA/PCI I/O card.

Very nice! Are there more NOS parts in Finland? 😁
And please do show us more pictures from inside.

And now something different:

Amiga 2000
Mainboard Rev.6.2 with CR2032 mod
Kickstart 1.3 + 3.1
Commodore 2630
icomp BigRAM 2630 (+120MB)
icomp Indivision ECS Flicker Fixer
BSC AT-Bus 2008 IDE Controller with Octapussy Rom
2x 4GB CF Card

Swapped the Panasonic 17" lcd tv or a 19" SANYO lcd tv and abosolutely no sign of flicker in Workbench 2.05 on my Amiga A600.

Probably not, got these from recycling and from an estate. Nothing much to see inside, just your basic bunch of cards and wires.

I love all those box designs 😁

Hello to everyone.

I am new to this forum, but I am very happy to share the joy I had when building my retro rigs.

Here's the first one:

The specs:
Intel Pentium III Katmai 500 MHz Slot1
1x 256 MB PC133 + 2x128 MB PC133
ASUS P3B-F
Voodoo 4 4500 32 MB AGP
Creative SoundBlaster Live! 5.1 Digital (SB0220)
3COM 905-C Fast Ethernet NIC
56K Lucent ISA Modem
300W Generic "Bluecase" (a Brazilian brand) PSU
LG DVD-RW IDE Drive
Maxtor 80 GB HDD SATA with SATA to IDE Converter
1.44 MB Floppy Drive
ISA Controller Card for Genius Scanner
CoolerMaster Cavalier3 Case
OS: Windows 98 Second Edition (in Brazilian-Portuguese)

Now the only upgrade i am willing to do on this rig, is to get a better and safe PSU for it.

I also have built a 486DX, an AMD Sempron, an AMD Athlon 64 (S754), a Core2Duo and a Core2Quad too.

Later I can take pictures of those and post in this thread.

AcerPower Magic
Pentium 60 with FDIV bug (SX835)
MICRO-STAR International MS-5103
40MB EDO Ram
520MB Seagate HDD
S3 Tri64+
ES1868F
3com Etherlink III
Seasonic SSG-200G

Oh nice and original P60. That case is really cool looking I love it.
