I can't find my old thread, I think it was removed because of some other user creating drama in it. So I'll go ahead and start a new one.
Build log of my TUV4X + SL6BY Pentium III-S retro Windows 98SE/Windows XP retro rig.
First some pics

It's been quite the ride putting this machine back together finally after having it sit for years. I am very happy with the results and can't wait to throw some games on it and play them. I'll also use it as my CD/DVD backup machine as I have my beloved plextor drives in it just for that purpose.
I have the MX400 in it for now, but will probably throws the Voodoo back in it once I get a monitor that isn't intermittent.
