The rig i build is basically a replacement for my 486DX2 that died due to a leaking battery years ago .
Getting the parts was a good bit of work but i managed to get everything except the motherboard for free .
The motherboard took me years to find locally and the first 2 i got my hands on were broken then last year i got lucky and finally found a working board and as a bonus it had a AMD5x86 133 installed .
In the end it took me more then 6 years to finish this build and i think it cost me about 60€ to 90€ .
