Haha thanks! il have to see about borrowing a camera from my sister! My extra parts are a isa mach8 (don't believe it works) a vlb cirrus logic card, a trident vlb card, a Pentium mmx 233mhz (from my first retro adventure) a k6-3 333mhz, and so many more. This 486 and a pentium2 I built for my best friend are my two complete DOS rigs. The Pentium was a fun summer adventure, did not last long however 🙁 o and SOON my dad's friend is giving me a ibm thinkpad 700c that my father purchased brand new the year before I was born! I remember being around 6 years old and wondering how my dad could use a laptop without a screen x)

it has a 120mhz AMD 486, I also have a intel dx2 66 for it if I need and thank you! So far my only complaint is the case, it is the only antec case that has not been a pleasure to build with. But the price was right at $0 😁

*UPDATE* Fried my first processor today. R.I.P overdrive 100! you will be missed. Was testing a digisystems socket 2 board I found at goodwill and she sparked. still have the piece, maybe there is still a chance to save it.

Maybe you just killed the VRM?
