Hello Vogons, as you may not be aware I found this case locally at a habitat for humanity for 5 dollars. It was rusty and had some p4 sis inside. So I gutted it and freshened it up a bit. I had got the idea from you guys and painted the inside black, and repainted the side panels a canvas white. The bezel is in nice condition.

The only thing you cannot change is the motherboard its a MSI BX Master in working condition.

I have a lot of parts laying around, and if I don't have it, I'll consider purchasing it. So tell me how would you build this PC and at the end I'll take into consideration all of the best advice and present a finished build here. With tests. Etc.

Cant remember what other rigs you have but for me Slot 1 Win9x and late dos gaming rig.
I'd try and fill gaps in you setup though

So if your current computer are all D3D focused then make this a strong glide rig preferably with a 3Dfx card. or visa versa with say a GF4 Ti or FX
If your other 9x builds all have EAX SB Live/Audigy/Audigy 2 covered give this a Vortex 2 to cover A3D 2.0. You could go with a SB 64 PCI and play around with the ecw files if you already have EAX/A3D covered.
ISA sound something you don't have in any of your another rigs.

Put one of those pinnacle tuner cards in there and stream nes games for the lolz.

I second that .. That is THE coolest power button .. EVER!

Please use the "quote" option if asking questions to what I write - it will really up the chances of me noticing 😀

What about if I print some pacman decals out and stick them on the sides. Pacman on one side and a ghost on the other or somthing. Or ghosts on both sides. I'd consider sticking some pacman chasing ghosts on one of the blank 5" bezels of something as well as a theme. Not sure I want to deface the power button, I'll still consider it though.

I have two A3D cards. Not sure which one I like better the Diamond MX300 or a SQ2500.

That would be a really fun case decals if you did that.
