This is a heavily modified system and my oldest still in active use. I believe it started out as a Pentium 233 MHz MMX with 32 megs of EDO RAM and an ATi Rage II. Now the only original parts include the case and the motherboard.
The system runs Windows 95 C which has been modified to install without Internet Explorer with instructions from Nathan Lineback (http://toastytech.com/evil/lab.html#rem95).

Update on Aug 18, 2013.
Swapped Realtek NE2000 compatible 10 Mbit ISA NIC to a 3Com Fast EtherLink XL PCI.

Update on Sep 16, 2013.
Tested with 3DMark2000. System scored 1360 points. (1024x768x16)

There's a lot of hardware that I have a similar feeling towards. I even had the original IBM PS/2 with peripherals and everything. Fully functional. Being young and foolish I sold it on the flea market. 🤐

Oh my poor 386... what I wouldn't give to have you back.
