well i guess it is out of the norm, but it was the smaller SD Card that i had and i didn't even bother to try to find a smaller one because well, the bios supported the size and that was the limit for fat16 partition.
For the drives you can see that i didn't followed the period correct(like the 48x cd-rw drive, and the sd card).

It runs actually pretty good(considering that is running on a 486 class machine), with the small screen is kind of playable for me,it is running on 320x200 and i had to resize the screen to get a better frame rate, i don't know if you have seen the build video but i show the quake running.
I may add some more pictures of the actual front of the case with the mod, it is not a real beauty, but the convenience for file transfer that i obtained mounting it to the front(on a empty 5.25 drive bay) is amazing.
and i'm currently working on a DIY Virtual Modem(its like a Wifi232).
