Hello everyone,
Recently I started a new project: My new Intel 486 desktop. Here the specs for this beauty:

For accessories I have:
Keyboard Mitsumi E99ZC DIN - Used
Mouse Microsoft Mouse White PS/2 - Two Button Ergonomic (Plugged on COM) - Brand New/Sealed
Joystick QuickShot 6-Button Commandpad QS-217 - Brand New/Sealed
I started cleaning all the items and prepare to assembly. The keyboard was bought used, yelowed and dirty. Check the before image bellow:
But after clean it and use the RetroBright technique, I got this:
Missing Parts
I am looking for a good AT case to install my desktop. I couldn't find it so far so it take a wile to finish the project. I'll post images as soon as I have it. Also I do not intend to buy a CRT monitor - I'm gonna use the LCD I already have.
Software
My idea is to have three OS on this computer:
- MS-DOS 6.22/Windows for Workgroups 3.11
- Windows 95 OEMSR2
- Windows NT Workstation 4.0 SP6
This is a work-in-progress. I'll post new images as soon the project is made. Let's see how this project comes out!
