I remember that video. The Leo's a neat little system, basically the same thing as this Unisys branded system. I'd like to have one of those some day.

Almost finished the Celeron 366 on Zida 60 Create LX-CT socket 370 mobo, new and unused.
Voodoo 3 3000 AGP (Mexico)
384 mb ram
40gb hdd
Brand new Noga psu AT 300w (from 2004)
Via lan and 4 port USB 2.0
Win 98SE

Strapped a case fan to the V3 using cable ties. It's not pretty, but it's adjustable and it works 😀

That's amusing -- I have the evil twin of that case.

The floppy drive cover is upside down!!! ARRG! What is wrong with you people?

..and I was /this close/ to re-shooting my box with the cover flipped to match, but decided merely slippin down was enough.

OMG....grabs coat and exits.

Yea that floppy cover....... needs painted.

This came out of the case earlier:

Oh wow if that 486 board still works... I woulda kept that in!
Especially in a such a retro looking case like that.
I'm just hoping to come across such a machine again at a thrift store\fair\show\fest.
Don't trust the mail\ups\fedex with such a machine. I'm sure it would arrive broken and dented to heck, like the last large item I ordered.

Just for completness here are some Pics of my 2003ish PC i just dragged out of the closet.

That's had some post-2003 upgrades... 🤣 What CPU is in there? Very nice looking machine btw. 😀

And a pictorial contribution:

This is my new (to me) Intel D875PBZ and 3.2EE on the bench for testing (everything seems to work AOK 😀):

The link has the word "gay" in it and Usergate does not let me view this from work 🙁 I wonder what's so bad about the gay people that it got banned by admin.

Damn gays! Dey tewk arr jerbs!!! 😁

This is my latest retro rig.
When I received this machine I was expecting a 386 or 486, but this is what I got.
Someone had upgraded it in the past.
Frankly it dashed my dreams of a working 486 but whatever 🤣.
This is good too, and the TURBO switch works I can switch bewteen 133\233mhz.

When I got the machine the insides were coated in this sticky oil substance, I think the PC saw use in an industrial setting.
It only came with Onboard video a broken 1gb WD HD, and both floppies I had to take apart, and thoroughly clean due to this oil coating. It also came with a generic AT Power supply dated 1990 THAT, is not seeing use 🤣, the caps have rust spots all over the visible metal tops, I used a AT-ATX power supply converter cable despite the fact this board has an ATX power plug, to preserve the wonderful mechanical power button too. The pictures don't do justice for the case... the sucker is built like a tank, it weighs a close to a good 30 pounds.

It has been upgraded to whats listed below since I got it.

Pictures:

Came with this P166 in the picture, and USB bracket there is also a video bracket for the onboard sis video.

So far other then an issue with the sound not passing into the SB-PRO from the Awe, when booting into dos before loading windows, this machine is a great stable thing, and is more then likely going to be my main socket 7 rig for a long while.

is this ps/2 to usb adapter working?

For mice that support operation in ps/2 mode, of course it is! I'm using a similar one myself.

Yes they work fine with most USB mice\trackballs.
Most come with them when you buy them new.

A double-FAN PSU! It's probably the first time I see one. I remember some newb on some other forum saying "Always pick double-FAN PSU, single-FAN models are always cheap and worse than double-FAN".

Well, Corsair RM750 I purchased recently can be called anything but cheap 😁 I got it for my Q6700/HD4870X2 powerhouse with prospects to power a newer PC in case I need one in the future.

Really? I've had an Enermax PSU with two fans more than ten years ago. Original intention behind them was to transport hot air from the CPU / video card out of ATX cases, back when fans in the back of the case were not the norm. It doesn't make much sense in an AT case, of course.

Modern PSUs with their huge 140mm fans at the bottom don't need fans at the back anymore.

Exactly. They were really useful powering tiny ATX cases where PSU is mounted over the CPU to save space, very typical for Socket 370. In these cases there's no extra space to fit even a 80mm FAN.
