I USA parts theme of any computer. Then put patriotic color sceme or political theme on it. Doesn't matter if its 486 Pentium 3 or whatever. Reason I suggest this one is because I know this one is the most challenging. Might require that we bend the rules saying something like supermicro is acceptable or something like that even if it was fabed in Taiwan or something if no USA made motherboard exists. hard to say. Open for discussion. 🤣

Yes, I have the motherboard but it needs work. Only the floppy drive and cdrom are not USA.

What I have so far:
Motherboard
RAM
CPU
Hard-drive
VLB graphics card
Network card
Sound card
VLB controller
Power supply
SCSI card

USA Parts I Need:
cdrom
floppy drives
case

Floppy drives and CDROM will probably be japan because I don't see any USA made.
Case may have to be Chinese Lian Li because I don't see any other option.

Those are all good choices but I'd have to vote for the A-10 warthog build and the Solaris build second.

You could always custom build your own case then the case would be USA made. 🤣

You wake the memory of "A-10 Cuba" PC game. I still remember that green plane with painted shark mouth.
That was neat.

And it needs to play the national anthem when it's booting.
Seriously, why do people need to tell you which PC you want/need to build??!!

Solaris 8.0 Workstation IMO.

Definitely a Solaris 8 build. Only because it would be interesting to see games running on such a beast. Though its games library is rather limited.

Solaris 8 __gaming__ build? I can understand the joys of Solaris (although I run it on Sparc, not x86), but one thing it's not great at is gaming. There's very little in the way of games available, and what I've seen in benchmarks shows Solaris to be slower than Linux, and Linux slower than Windows when it comes to games.

I am pretty sure Solaris 8 on Intel only supports 1 CPU.
But it supports Sound blaster 16 by default.

Flashing your nations flag colours, does not make it patriotic. Helping your country getting better on the other hand, is patriotic. That is why some Danish people, put small Danish flags in dog shits on the street's.

EDIT
Since the OP is from USA, it would be unwise to use any part of Stars And Stripes for anything other than the flags intended use. Like if the flag is not free hanging, then it is against the flag code. There is specific rules for carrying the flag. One of them is that it should always be carried free, only a few exceptions have ever been made.

I just choose an A10 War Hog because there are allot of games on PC and Mac about this machine.
And I could put together a pretty neat all aluminum silver computer that would go great with this theme.
It would be a pre year 2000 gaming computer.

De gustibus non est disputandum but that theme/case would be fugly as hell. But hey, you do what you want with it.

Not to mention those pigs 😉

Technically correct, but not something 'patriotic' Americans have ever really given a hoot about, plastering the Stars and Stripes over every and any part of cars in particular. In a lot of ways computer cases are in terms of aesthetics similar to cars, so it makes just about as much sense to put a flag on the side of a case as on the door of your car.

Ita vero.

I like my cars and computer cases generally as understated as possible, with both my daily drive and case currently being simple unadorned black. In both cases I also like vintage stuff to look as authentic as possible, which tends to result in beige PCs and a motorcycle with an original red 'flare' paint job 😉

But the great thing about this hobby is you can do what you want, and I'm happy not to judge other people's designs so long as they show the same respect to me 😀

Isn't the A-10 Warhog part of NATO ? Not only American.

It's warthog BTW 😀

Is it that hard to just check Wikipedia instead of expecting other people to do it for you?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairchild_Repub … lt_II#Operators

The A-10 has been flown exclusively by the United States Air Force and its Air Reserve components, the Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC) and the Air National Guard (ANG).

Again,Google can be such a nice tool 😀
Hell, I even knew it's only flown by the US and I'm not even a 'Murican :p

Asking as many questions as possible, no matter how inane, is the quickest road to 1331 status.
