Got those JBL Creature III speakers in the mail. They sound okay... not bad but my Altec Lansing ACS495s are much better.

SBC Component:
Acrosser AR-IPC3SP (hopefully I get it this time, PLCcenter said they really do have it in stock now)

486 build components:
NOS - Data Technology DTC 2278-EB VLB IDE/Floppy Super I/O (w/ updated BIOS for 32GB IDE support)
NOS - Intel 486 DX2/66MHz Processor
NOS - Intel 386/486 Blue Heatsink
Biostar MB-1433/50UVC-D Motherboard
Metal Etched Intel 486 DX2 25x25mm Badge

Going to throw my ATI Mach64 2MB ISA card in it, and my SB AWE64 Gold. It should make a nice 486 build. Now I just need to determine a case and power supply..

I have a Compaq Deskpro EP PC that is mostly useless to me because it has a boring i810 mATX motherbord, but I really like the thing regardless and spent a few good nights restoring it..

I stumbled across an older Deskpro EP motherboard: 440BX Slot-1 with AGP and ISA - would make a great reliable Slot-1 build.. Just 20 bucks.. I am so trying to restrain myself from buying it..

I own that and it's great. It doesn't like network cards, however.

Somebody able to identify the machine in the middle? ACER? What kind of drive is this? Tape? Combo Floppy? But seems to be an AT-case which is a big plus.

Dont think the Compaq is worth the time however.

That thing in the mid seems to have a compact cassette/tape deck build in, never seen that one before..

It's really an Acer.

Looks like a tape drive but could be very well be a 5 1/4 inch floppy drive.

Is that Acer, not the one they sold as an PowerAcer or AcerPower or something. It is from the first half of the 90's. 386sx/dx to 486dx2-66 era. It is on it's head in the picture. Two 5'25 inch bays, tell me that it most likely is an 486 machine.

Don't eat stuff off a 15 year old never cleaned cpu cooler.
