TODO:
-I think IBM 143GB 320 SCSI cant be work on this MB.. maybe it need to be replaced to 36GB!?
-I wish make some cool cable management for all wires and cable..
but not have time right now to do this
-Replace CPUs 650Mhz to 1Ghz

p.s. sorry for my bad English.

Nice build!

1Ghz Slot-1s that'll run on that board will be fairly hard to find, hopefully you can get a pair for a decent price.

On the 143GB SCSI drive, I think you should be able to use it without any issues.

Interesting placement of the floppy disk drive... 🤣
But normally only used for updating drivers/bios etc I guess (?).

Hey that's a really cool idea! Why didn't I think of this myself...

I found pair p3 1ghz on eBay ..20$ + 25$ for shipping to Msk.
on my SCSI hdd I have sticker "For use only U320 systems". 8( Bios detect it but show 00000 size... maybe it just not show 143... because field short for old HDDs.
floppy drive inside.. its because front 3.5" used for iOmegaZip 100 drive (need paint in in black color). and yes its need only for bios upgrade and first time MS-DOS setup.it perfectly sets in HDD case 😎
in addition I found old IBM keyboard and old Epson ribbon printer without cases but worked.. I try mod with green light later..
when I make cable management.. I post more photos.. front picture must be amazing 😎

p.s. sorry for my bad English.

I have an Asus XG-DLS of similar vintage and I had no issue detecting a Maxtor Atlas 143GB drive. Only issue was the bearings were shot and I could hear the drive running from across the house.

Here are two setups that I have been working on. I did not want to go totally retro with these two builds. Both are running Win98se.

The one on the left is a Pentium 3 1.4s
LIAN LI PC-T60B
LIAN LI fan controller
Asus TUSL2
1.4GHz Tualatin
Thermaltake heatsink + Noctua NF-R8 fan

Soundblaster live 5.1 platinum with live drive 2
Geforce 4 Ti4600
2 3dfx 12 meg voodoo 2 in sli
80 gb Seagate drive (will be changed)

The one on the right is a P4 3.4 Extreme Edition.

My main desk is upstairs and there is no way I would be able to fit 4 more setups on it so I had to order another desk. So now I have to use my table for assembly and for the pictures.

The hard drive is 10.000 rpm .

The Keyboard with speakers is something that I use to test with. I have other speakers to use with the 2 setups once they get a permanent home. The Keyboard speakers are powered by the keyboard. They really don't sound that bad for self powered speakers. I was surprised they are still available new in the box for how old they are. I purchased 3 of them at Jameco.

I will see if I can edit my post with more pictures tomorrow.

o yes.. 10k rpm.. my mistake 8(

Intergraph sold those with their workstations for a while.

This is my late 90s gaming rig. I've upgraded it quite a bit over the past couple of months, and I am probably going to make a thread for it this weekend when I can take better pictures.

Right now it has the following:

Mobo: Shuttle HOT-637 440LX PCIset
CPU: Celeron (Mendocino) 400MHz
Video Card: Voodoo 3 3000D
Sound Card: AZTECH 338-A3D (Aureal Vortex 1)
RAM: 160MB mix of PC-66 and PC-100 SDRAM

It is not much but it is my first AT build since the fire. It is not much to look at and not the best out there but its mine 😀
Retail P1 150 @ 166, 48mb ram, generic VX board, Voodoo Rush, SB 64 value, HP cd burner from 99, 8GB cf card and 6.4gb seagate for swap as well general storage. Shots taken with a water proof diving Kodak potato.

Nice build nforce4max!

Whoo, like it!
Nice little sweet AT case! How about the fan? Doesn't it hurt your ears? 😜

The fan is low rpm (stock) so noise is not an issue, actually it is almost silent. The rig is still a work in progress.

Nice build!

Every time I see a voodoo rush board, it brings a tear to my eye ;( for nostalgic reasons of course.

Here's my rig.It was originally supposed to be a Athlon XP then a P4.I couldn't get the P4 to work,so this setup is temporary. (until I get either a Socket A or 478 board)


Specs:
Gigabyte GA-6WMMC7-E1 (IBM OEM)
256MB RAM PC133
NEC-3540A DVD drive
10GB Seagate ST310211A (from an broken Xbox,and this one will be replaced by a Samsung SP1603N,160GB HDD with Vista/7)
Onboard Intel 810 Video Card (1MB)
Windows XP Home Edition SP1
Pentium 3 800MHz Processor

@nforce4max
A really sweet little rig, that looks like original buildt in, say, 1996. I do like the case and the especially the Voodoo Rush. Except the 8GB cf card and burner, all parts do match. Nice system, keep it up.

btw, i think, i have to build further system with my Adrenaline Rush...
