Between a couple PC's I had laying around and a few more purchases off eBay, I built a pair of nearly identical retro gaming PC's. They both dual boot DOS 6.22/Win3.1 and Win98se.
PC #1
ASUS P2B-B v1.02
ASUS S370-DL slotket
Pentium III (Coppermine) 1.0GHz 100FSB
ASUS P2T thermal probe
288MB PC100 RAM
3dfx Voodoo3 3000 (or Matrox G400 DH 32MB for Win3.1) - AGP
Aureal SQ2500 + Roland SCD-15
Intel 82558 PCI 10/100NIC w/WOL cable
40GB HDD
DVD-ROM + 3.5" floppy
U.S.Robotics ISA non-PnP Sportster 56K - COM2
Baby AT case with converted ATX PS
PC #2
ASUS P2B v1.02
Powerleap PL-IP3/T v2.0
Celeron (Tualatin) 1.4GHz 100FSB
ASUS P2T thermal probe
320MB PC100 RAM
3dfx Voodoo3 3000 (or Matrox G400 DH 32MB for Win3.1) - AGP
Aureal SQ2500 + Yamaha DB50XG
Roland SCC-1
Intel 82558 PCI 10/100NIC w/WOL cable
120GB HDD
DVD-ROM + 3.5" floppy
U.S.Robotics ISA non-PnP Sportster 56K - COM2

These are almost hardware compatible for the purposes of Ghosting DOS images to each other (except Win98 PnP annoyances). I've had both the Roland & Yamaha daughterboards since they came out. I also have a SB16 CT2230 and CT1740 waiting in the wings if I absolutely need real SB16 support, which will work with either MIDI board. For a game that old, DOSBox on my main rig is my platform of choice.
