My little retrocomputer collection:

1. 286 -16 (SB 2.0, plan to buy Tandy sound, OTI VGA graphics, DOS 5 )
2. 386DX40, (ATI MAch 32, Aztech Waverider Platinum-3D, DOS 6.22)
3. 386DX40, still on construction Mini build (25x20x10cm self made case, low profile Tridend 9000, ALS120 sound, mini ATX power supply, DOS 6.22)
4. 486DX4 80, (S3 VLB graphics, AWE32 with NEC yamaha DB60XG clone, Win 95)
5. IBM Pentium MMX 266 (SB LIVE with front panel, Matrox Millenium, dual compact flash to IDE adapter, Win 98)
6. Celeron 300a overclocked @400Mhz, Terratec EWS 64S, Cant remember what graphics it has right now, pci S3 probably, Win 98)
7. Pentium 3 1Ghz, (Voodoo 3 2000, Awe64 Gold, Win 98)
8. Pentium 4 3 Ghz (Nvidia 6600GT, Terratec DMX 6 fire, 32Gb Msata SSD, 500Gb HDD)

The configuration of these babies changes often, i have lots of extra mainboards and other spare parts, about 40 ISA soundcards and Roland SC55, but that is a different story 😀

I plan to buy a 8086 CPU based system, maybe a Tandy, and that should be enough for my needs (at the moment 😁).

I only have my main 486DX4-100, Asus VLI/486SV2GX4 16 Mb RAM, 256K Cache, Avance Logic ALG2228 1MB, Intel Etherxpress PRO/100, Sound Blaster 32 2Mb SIMM RAM, and a Western Digital Caviar 2540 814 MB. I use it mainly for retro gaming and programming, some EGA pixel art too. I also have some parts for a future pentium 1 machine, a cacheless FIC PA-2002 with a unstable AMD 5k86.

Previously along with the DX4-100 i had more machines which eventually i sold becuause of space limitations, two cacheless Acer 486's, one big ass AT 286 with a dead MFM HDD and a pentium 1 pc

lo-fi fingers...

I have so many in my house it's not even funny. I have 3 desktops (tall ass Pentium 1, 486, and modern desktop), Commodore 64 w/ the Sony PVM-9L1 (useful for the Commodore 64), and a load of laptops in my room, my brother's room has 2 of them, the basement has 1 (my dad's computer), and the rest of mine are either in the back room or the crawl space.

I might upgrade the tall Pentium 1 machine to a PII AT since the case has lots of add-on card brackets.
