I wish I had enough $$ to get at least 2 'pizzabox' style cases so that I can stack them up without taking up too much space for my earlier machines. I wouldn't need anything bigger to work with for them because I would only have 1xCD-ROM, 1xHDD (or CF to IDE), 1x5.25" FDD and 1x3.5" FDD for each. Also I would only have a maximum of 2 sound cards in these systems because I don't really have any fancy Roland cards to add to my SB or PAS card setup anyway. But alas, I don't have any pizzabox sytle cases, so I will use my full size ATX destop cases for all my builds except for my oldest where I will use a desktop case I got that has a turbo switch.
My planned builds:
1. for old XT system (oldest DOS games) - Old XT Desktop Case with turbo switch (I haven't found one yet 😒 )
2. for 386DX40 system (old DOS games) - Old AT Desktop Case with turbo switch:
For the rest of my systems, I'll use my large desktop ATX/AT cases [(I have 6 of these) (with 3x5.25"; 2x3.5" external drive bays and 3x3.5" internal bays! and 2x60mm exhaust fan openings). These are great AOpen cases with plenty of room to work for a desktop case]:
3. for 486 VLB system (old DOS games that can use a little more horsepower and win 3.11)
4. for P166MMX system (newer DOS GAMES and Win95)
5. for PII system (for newest DOS games and Win95)
6. for PIII system (for newest DOS games and Win98SE)
7. for P4 system (for old XP games and Win2000)
