Bought few years ago a busted Toshiba T5200 but with some time, glue and tweaking it's now a quite nice little workhouse.

CPU: Ti486SXL2-40
MEM: 4MB
HDD: 10GB Seagate (taken from old XBOX1)
BIOS: Modded with XTIDE and 486SXL support
NET: 3COM ISA
SOUND: Gravis Ultrasound MAX
FLOPPY: is still broken, spins up sometimes and reads but not every time. Recapped it but didn't help.

Motherboard got cache flush -mod because that CPU has 8KB of L1 cache and without that mod it just corrupts data.
Future plan is to make memory -mod because those 40pin SIMMs are impossible to find... Maybe I'll do some overclocking too by replacing oscillator.

Don't have photos here but some videos:
