I recently finished building a Socket 370 Pentium 3 gaming pc for the games I want to play that don't work in windows 10.
Specs:
Motherboard: ECS P6VAP-A+
CPU: Socket 370 Pentium 3 866 MHz
RAM: 768 MB PC-400
PSU: 350 watt Enermax
HDD: 40 GB Hitachi Deskstar
Optical Drives: LG DVD-ROM & Toshiba CD-RW
Graphics Card: ATI Radeon 9250 PCI
Case: Who knows?
Nice to see someone's cherry popped. welcome.
All you need now is a p2 for older, older, games.
then a 486 for older, older, older, games.
then a 386 for wingcommander
a 8088 for those games that just wont run on anything faster.
It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes.
Had a Pentium 1 until 2 weeks ago... when the motherboard died.
Are you planning to put Windows XP on it?
Is this too much voodoo?
Hell no. Tried it, ran okay, but it took 5 minutes to get to the desktop from a cold boot, and would constantly reboot. No issues with 98SE or 2000.
Is that a EG365P-VE BTW? Just last week I used one in a new P4 build.
Is this too much voodoo?
Yep! I pulled it from a Socket 478 Pentium 4 box, because I didn't trust the 20 year old 250 watt Morex PSU that came with the case.
mmm Award BIOS screen
give that case a nice cleanup and it'll be grand

The photo scanner in it needs more of a cleaning than the case does

OOO, I want to know more about this photo scanner.

I originally got the photo scanner with an HP Pavilion 7103P. The HP's motherboard was dead, and was really gross, because the previous owner smoked. The photo scanner used an ISA card, which is in the P3 box. I had to break the sides of the photo scanner off, because it was designed to fit the Pavilion's weird ass case. Only existing drivers are for windows 95 and 98. The Pavilion originally had 95 on it (Pentium 166).

I guess the ISA card is a basic SCSI controller?

Probably
