Built a custom Socket 370 rig inside a IBM Netvista 6578 case 🤣

PSU: Hipro 155W
GPU: Palit ATI Radeon 7500 64MB AGP
Mobo: EPoX EP-3VCM (VIA694X)
ODD: NEC DVD-RW
RAM: 384MB PC133
CPU: Intel Pentium 3 1GHz
HDD: IBM/Hitachi Deskstar 20GB (will probably replace with a Samsung drive because its making an unbearable sound, even if it's working fine.)
NIC: Realtek RTL8139D
Case: IBM Netvista 6578 case

Interestingly, everything fit like it was from factory. Just the built in speaker inside the system needed converting to a 3.5mm jack.

I'll probably install Windows ME and then 98lite 4.7 over it to have the system run blazing fast. Kind of a "MiniME" machine.

98SE : P3 650, Soyo SY-6BA+IV, 384MB RAM, 80GB

Yeah, pretty sturdy! Also love the modularity of the case. Just pull up the cages and you're done.

    Desktop. Have been debating whether I should run 98lite or leave it be like that. Oh, and also got KernelEX while at it.

    Award BIOS. There was always something fascinating about seeing "Apollo" come up on a POST screen for me.

    During test fits. Note that the green AGP card was a FX5200, not the current Radeon 7500.
