As you might know, I had started the Pentium 100 project a while ago. I had already aquired a Intel board with Pentium 100, 64MB RAM, 2GB HDD and Voodoo2, AWE64 Gold, but was still looking for a nice (baby) AT case to put it all in, as well as a decent 2D graphics card. (My salvaged Compaq ATX didn't do it justice)
Today I might've struck the goldmine. I was looking around the local equivalent of eBay, and found a Highscreen AT/ATX case for only 5 euros (+ 6,95 shipping). Thinking I had become lucky, I decided to look for a good PCI 2D GPU. Once again, bingo. I found a Matrox MGA-2164WP-C (Matrox Millenium II 4MB) for another 5 euros (+3,84 shipping).

So whadda'ya think? Should I go ahead and purchase them as quick as I can, or set other priorities?

I'll definitely post some pics when I acquire it and it arrives! The pics the seller posted look subpar, but luckily I know how to use a camera. The case looks quite modern and has a front USB 1 port.
