Hi all, long time lurker, new user. I have recently constructed three different Windows 98SE machines from different eras for gaming. I had most of these as parts, and finally decided to compile them all together and make machines that look at three different eras of Windows 98 gaming (basically from DOS all the way up to games like Battlefield 1942). They are as follows:

1. Early gaming
- Intel Pentium II 333mhz
- 320MB SDRAM
- 8MB Trident Blade 3D AGP graphics
- Gigabyte GA-6BXC 440BX motherboard
- ESS Audiodrive ISA sound
- 20GB Maxtor IDE C: drive
- 80GB Seagate IDE D: drive
- Sony DVD-RW IDE E: drive
- Windows 98SE with Unofficial SP

2. Slightly newer gaming machine
- Intel Pentium 3 1000mhz
- 192MB SDRAM
- 16MB Creative 3D Blaster CT6700 Riva TNT PCI graphics
- Generic motherboard (no AGP slot)
- ESS Allegro WDM sound
- 30GB Maxtor IDE C: drive
- 80GB Seagate IDE D: Drive
- LG DVD-RW IDE E: Drive
- Windows 98SE with Unofficial SP

3. Newest machine
- Intel Pentium 4 1.8ghz
- 512MB DDR400 RAM
- 128MB ATI Radeon 9600XT
- Intel motherboard (no discernable model number)
- Creative Sound Blaster 5.1 PCI sound
- 80GB Seagate IDE C: Drive
- 80GB Seagate IDE D: Drive
- LG DVD-RW E: Drive
- Windows 98SE with Unofficial SP

So far, I'm having fun with all of these machines. I've been enjoying the sound that they all make that is absent with new computers (everything from the "clunk"when you hit the power button, all the way to the whine of the hard drives). I've got all three machines in my server rack that sits next to my computer desk, and I use a KVM to toggle between them (with the output going to my main monitor). In the future, when moving to a larger house, I'd like a room set aside to have all three set up individually with their own monitors and keyboards (I have a huge assortment of PS/2 keyboards for these machines, and Microsoft Intellimouse mice for them), but in the meantime, they server rack switch method will have to do.
