This project of mine has been in the making for over a year, mainly due to waiting on decent prices on parts especially the Asus board and the Voodoo's.

Here's the scoop:

Case: Rosewill Blackbone - Newegg had it real cheap!
Mobo: Asus P3B-F Rev. 1.04 - started out with a Intel SE440BX-2 but couldn't get it working.
PS: Antec SL400
CPU: Pentium 3 slot 1 850mhz/100mhz FSB
Ram: 512MB DDR-PC100
HD: 40GB IDE Western Digital
GPU: Abit Geforce3 64MB
GPU: Creative 3D Blaster Voodoo2 SLI w/ Be Quiet! 120mm side fan for cooling
Soundcard: Turtle Beach Vortex2

To this point only games I've tried on it are Rogue Squadron, Quake2-3, Unreal and Incoming. If anyone can recommend some more to put it thru it's paces let me know.

Always thought the vortex2 was the thing to have with games like Half-Life. What did you have in mind? Diamond Monster Sound MX300? Those are hard to come by.
