There is nothing wrong with that case.. You just need to flip the motherboard 180 degrees over and then it will fitt perfectly.. ( So the ram is under near your PSU)

I should take the case because they are very hard to find these days..

The graphics card is an Vesa Local bus one.. That rear connector has to be in the brown connector on your motherboard.. They where mostly faster graphic cards then normal ISA ones..

Vesa local bus is almost the same like PCI..

get a better picture of that video card! it maybe a cad card and might be quite rare. Also, a computer that has BOTH scsi and IDE? it looks like someone's old workstation. Definatly worth the money.

Is that.. S-Video on that VLB card?!

that's what I thought too!!! also, if you look it has EIGHT memory chips. I'm willing to bet money it is at LEAST a 2mb card! IF not a 4mb!

The case is neat. I'd spray paint the red to blue, but that's just me. the motherboard is nothing special, but the scsi card is common but just about the best ISA card you could get.

It's 4MB. Looks like it might be an Elsa Winner 2000 VLB.

The port is probably for a microsoft bus mouse.

No. It's a Miro Crystal 32S VLB with S3 968 chip. And you are correct, it is indeed S-video TV out.

if i open the picture in another tab and click on it, then it loads a picture of a hot chick. for such an old case it looks kind of sleek.

Thanks for all the info on the vga card!
Yeah, I knew it was VLB, but the sheer size, numbers of chips on it and the round output connector threw me off a bit...

So, would this vga card be any good for games I wonder ?
Looks like they sold for quite a bit back then ($800??)

Btw, how on earth did you spot that ? Do you have the card yourself ?

Anyways, I think I'll send the current owner an (hopefully non-offending) offer for both lots then.... 😁

PS: about the pics,

this was some free and very(!) easy to use(no registration, no nothing, even works when java is turned off!) upload service I found via google, just for this post - and clicking on the 'bigger' pic you get the "next" one, which is any random pic that someone uploaded after me... 😜

I recommend http://imgur.com/ for attaching photos. It even generates BB code to the image. Though there's no random hot chick when you click the picture.
