I got this one from a private seller here in Spain Vetz, not ebay...

Quite the coincidence then! There was a boxed MT32 for sale on Yahoo Auctions that looked exactly like yours. So I thought you got it from there 😀

Oh God, last time I bought from a Japanese Auction rpice went up so much beacuse of the high commissions + shipping + price of actual product that I decided not to buy from there again. 😵 😵 😵 😵

Ok guys, just got the case. It is beautiful, I'm really impressed!
I have to clean it thought, it is in perfect condition but its quite dirty. I'll post pictures of the case once I have clean it up.
The case has actully come with a Socket 7 MOBO with a P133 CPU. No idea of which model this Motherboard is. I haven't had time to look for any info yet.

Also, what a hell is that in the second picture? Is it more RAM?
EDIT: just saw that it is a 256k Cache Module. First time I see one of these. 😲

That's actually a COASt module [Cache On A Stick] -- It acts as L2 cache. COASt modules will provide either 256K or 512K of direct-mapped cache, so you might want to see if it's actually a 256K or the 512K. The motherboard has an Intel 430VX chipset, hence why it has a COASt module.

As for the motherboard it's a PC Chips M525 v1.5 Baby AT motherboard. The little white pinned module next to the CPU is the VRM [Voltage Regulator Module].

Nice case btw! 😎

Ok guys here's my almost complete setup.
In the end I decided to go for the Zida 5SVA-E because it is the only board that has pins on the MOBO for the Turbo Switch.
I also chose this board because I connected the turbo switch button cables to the MOBO multiplier pins, and it is the board that let's me set the lower multiplier value.
from 233Mhz to 133Mhz just by pressing the turbo switch and rebooting the system.
The system specs:

Zida 5SVA-E
233MMX CPU
16mb FPM
S3trio 64v+ 2mb (Tried a Matrox Mystique, had some compatibility issues)
Sound Blaster 16 CT2230 + NEC XR385 + Roland MT-32
PS/2 Mouse
MS-DOs 6.22

I've got some Benchmark results as well:

233MMX L1 + L2 cache on:
Speedsys: 175.77

133MMX L1 + L2 cache off:
Speedsys: 10.63
Topbench: M396B, this is between a 386 SX33 and a 386 DX40 result.
3dbenchmark: 9.7

So what computer do the lowest benchmark results match up to in reality? Maybe a fast 386?

Here's a picture of the case I finally got. I have set the Turbo Led to show the values "Hi and Lo"
And a picture of my full setup.

And now let's play some MANIAC MANSIOOOOOOOOOONNNNN!!!

You can check out Phil's Ultimate VGA Benchmark Database Project and compare scores 😀

A 3dbench score (is this version 1.0 not 1.0c) is ~ a 386DX-25.

Hi! Can you tell me what kind of device this is? CardBus adapter?
