It was originally put together to read old floppies, zip disks and QIC tapes to archive to a NAS. This was way before there was such a thing as the greaseweazle.

Not sure on the make/model of the AT minitower case, it was purchased as NOS years ago and I dug the early 2000's light beige with translucent accent vibe. The same case popped up on This Does Not Compute's Youtube channel recently, but with nifty lighting upgrades.

An AMD Am5x86 at 160MHz ???? Been reading about this and yours is overclocked, nice, never tried this but surely going to.
Great build, congratulations!!
