aleksej, I think the black one looks more appropriate 😀

Midget's little brother (however a bit outgrowth). 😀

CLM-903S chassis. Much more clumsy in comparison with Acrosser AR-IPC3SP despite of metal thicky enough (some sort of steel, not alluminium). And that dirty industrial grey in addition with inaccurate paintwork... well... it's a cheap solution from cheap taiwanese brand, that ok. But anyway, fanless and silent too. And it have a 3.5" frontal bay. I will keep it for further gamings with SBCs.
Don't have ISA backplane yet, fortunatelly most of SBCs allows direct powering via 5/12V molex interface.

As always bunch of photos below.

And a some sort of cable management on topic's main system.

Now much more accurate rear commutation between GUS and SB.

By performance level it matches to generic Intel DX4-100/120 based system with some trivial middle-class VLB/PCI videocard. "Heavy" late DOS games like Quake fairly unplayable due to FPS rate around 10 or so in 320x200 mode. Not so bad i think.
What is really unpleasant it's some compatibility issues.
Some games (Supaplex, Prehistorik II) have continous unwanted crackling sound from PC-Speaker.
And onboard SMI LynxEM video - not best idea for DOS gaming:
The Incredible Machine has some graphical glitches in bottom of the screen. Can be fixed, thanks jakethompson1!
Lost Vikings discovered jerky scrolling. Fortunatelly minor.
Biprolex and Quadrax (obscure but extremely good and fun games both from Eastern Europe) totally unplayabe due to graphical mess.

I guess it really isn't suitable for DOS games. I really shouldn't be surprised by the compatibility issues though.

Exactly. That's why "beating" it become more fun.

Still 'ISAless' Midget Jr. finally got a voice too. Yes, i know technically PC/104 is a generic ISA bus.

Crystal-MM by Diamond Systems, Sound Blaster Pro 8-bit PC/104 module based on ESS 1688 chip.

Doesn't require drivers, even SET BLASTER string doesn't need in majority of games. And sounds very ok for my taste.

CLM-903S chassis.

Where did u purchase the clm903s from?
Cant find it anywhere or any other case for that matter. Really want to build similar system. Thanks
