Building up a system based around a Daewoo motherboard with a TI 33MHz 486SLC onboard. It also has 64KB of L2 cache populated. (The CPU has 1KB of L1 cache)

Building in this new old stock AT Tower case:

Using this no name ATX power supply because it claims to put out -5 Volts.

That PSU is a rebranded FSP (Fortron-Source Power) unit so you're safe.

I'm looking forward in seeing some benchmarks on this setup. Maybe try Phil's DOS benchmark pack, including the following (with and without turbo mode enabled) :
Navrátil System Information
Norton System Information 8.0
Landmark Speedtest 2.0 & 6.0
Doom 1 timedemo 3
3D Bench
PC Player benchmark

Just check that L1 cache is enabled

I was recently given the same mobo but with 25mhz cpu and no daewoo logo. Do you have the manual for it? I have decoded the jumpers except two of them...
It's a nice little mobo but still hovers at good 386dx40 speeds, cpu benchmarks will be high but real performance like 3dbench or doom/wolfenstein fps will show the truth 😀

Isn't this board an Elite Group WH 386SX?

Not exactly there is for example a JP9 and there is a verified jumper to select if your RAM has parity or not - the WH386SX mobo has no jumper for this.
They are very similar, maybe the 486slc mobo is optimized for this cpu or something , maybe the -D at the end of the model marks the difference

I propose the "-D" stands for Daewoo.

Then it will forever remain a mystery, unless the answer is hidden in the ECS archives somewhere. Maybe the waybackmachine can turn something up.

Got my ATX --> AT harness today so I can continue building

Going to use this Aztech labs Sound Galaxy sound card. It has good SB and Adlib compat thanks to a real Yamaha OPL chip. More importantly, it features a proprietary controller connector for matsushita/panasonic cd-rom drives...

which i'm using. it's a 2x panasonic/matsushita with proprietary interface.

then a generic winbond based floppy/ide controller card
