Hello!
After a while of gathering components, replacing some, finding time to build and take pictures, researching what and how to configure everthing, machine 1 is finaly done!
This machine is built to hopefully support every DOS game I played back in the day and some early windows 98 games. the video from phil (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcAqRbFFQPU) helped me out allot in this regard. I altered his start menu a bit, so that I can also alter the CPU speed when I boot.
Anyways, the final spec of the system is:
Case: Lian-Li PC-60 Black
PSU: Silverstone SST-ST40EF 400 watt
Motherboard: Asus P5A rev 1.04
CPU: AMD K6-III+ 400 Mhz
RAM: 2x kingston KVR100X64C2/256 256MB PC100 CL2
Videocard: Voodoo 3 3500 AGP
Soundcard: Creative CT4500 Soundblaster AWE64 ISA
HDD: Seagate 7200.11 500GB SATA drive
DVDRW drive: Sony NEC AD-7203A black
Floppy drive: Alps 3,5" black
Monitor: Dell Ultrasharp 2007FP
WARNING! The following image is not for the faint of hearted! You have been warned!
Ofcourse I kept the original cooler 🤣 Also bought a EVC to VGA cable, so I dont have to mess with that blue bohemoth.
Building steps
Altered DOS mode menu
HDD bench to see if IDE to SATA adapter works with DMA:

Hope you like it! Now to find time to get my next system setup... Sneak preview:
