The Leviathan build is progressing slowly while I wait for a new CPU and some other stuff.
While I wait I thought that I might aswell rebuild one of my old slot-1 boxes I recently found in a shed at my parents place.
Spec
CPU: Celeron 500 ppga on a slotket
Motherboard: PC-Chips M726
Memory: When I found it: none. Now: 256mb sdram
GPU: When I found it: Riva TNT2 m64. Now: Gforce4 mx440se
Soundcard: Creative Soundblaster 32 (CT3670)
CD-rom: Teac 6X
Floppy: Mitsumi 1.44
HDD: When I found it: Fujitsu MPB3043AT 3.4gb. Now: Maxtor 740X 20gb
Case: Minitower with 200w psu.
The motherboard, probably the cheapest Slot-1 board ever made.
The CPU on a Asus slotket. Notice the rust on the screws
The memory module
The Soundcard
The videocard that got thrown out since some driver bug made 3dmark99 hang when it had finished all tests.
The new videocard
The hardware mounted in the case
Same as above

The Power Supply. Pro stands for professional *insert retarded demotivator here*
The CD-rom. It used to be rust on it 😀
More rust and insect doo doo
Rust and a pube from my youth?
Case closed!
Complete system
Can it play Cry... GLQuake YES and somehow I think Vsync is working
SuperPi 1M. Not very fast
PCMark 2002
SiSoft Sandra 99
3dMark99 Max
I also ran these benchmarks on a few other CPUs
pII-300, pII-350, pII-400, pII-450, PIII-450 and a Celeron 333
In the end I decided to stick with the Celeron 500 altough both the pII-450 and the pIII-450 were faster.
I have two pIII-450 but they will be needed for a future project and the pII-450 will find a home on my QDI BX-board
I also tried a Katmai pIII-600 but it would not even post. The Katmai 600 will be used in my Abit BH6 build that will keep me buisy until more stuff for the Leviathan arrive.
