Last few months I've been building 486 class computer for my retrogaming needs and this is the outcome:
- Am5x86@150MHz (aka 486DX5)
Abit PB4 mobo (ALi M1487/M1489 chipset)
64MB RAM
4GB CompactFlash HDD
STB Lightspeed 128 (Tseng ET6000)
Sound Blaster AWE32
+ 3dfx Voodoo 1
(and 8x Mitsumi CD-ROM, 5.25 + 3.5 floppy)
Right now I am trying to find games which would benefit from Voodoo card. So far I tested Quake (barely playable, with average 12 FPS), Carmageddon (unplayable) and Descent with 3dfx patch (perfect - 25 FPS in 800x600!)

Speedsys results:
In the future I would really like to get Cyrix 5x86/133MHz CPU and maybe SCSI harddrive. Any other suggestions? 😀
