Nice!
Also nice to see an LS-120 drive seeing some use 😀
The case looks nice as well. How is the build quality of your case?
Did you use a 1GHz 133MHz FSB or a 1GHz 100MHz FSB Pentium 3?
I assume you're not using an overclocked 750MHz model?
I suppose it's a Coppermine model? Does it have an IHS?
I suppose you have the system running at 100MHz FSB?
Is there any particular reason you opted to use ECC memory? I did notice you're using a lot of double sided SDRAMs.
Btw, may I suggest that you make the list of parts that you used have some ENTERs so it's a bit easier to read 😜

Hell yeah! LS-120 is much cooler than Zip in my opinion. 😀
Case is fine. It's 0.7mm SECC steel, thankfully. Not one of those paper-thin Chinesium crapboxes.
The processor is an SL5QV - the final (D0) stepping Coppermine with 100MHz FSB. I chose not to do 133MHz as I don't want AGP running at 89MHz. I prefer stability to overclocking.
ECC is a great way to improve stability and it's free, so why not? The RAM is brand new and ECC costs exactly the same as non-ECC.
The SDRAM modules are actually single-sided. The chips are only on the right-hand side of each module.

Now that I zoomed in and took a better look, it is single sided indeed, how sloppy of me xD
I'm pretty sure I have some ECC modules laying around. Can't remember if I actually used it but I didn't seem to really require it. Still nice seeing a build use it though.
All 3 systems you created individual threads for look good and I like that you gave them quite the amount of attention 😀
Did you build all 3 of them recently?

Thanks again. 😀 I built them over the past 2 years. The configurations evolved over time as I acquired and tested different components. I feel that I have finally arrived at the ultimate configuration for each system so it felt right to brag to the world a little!

Removable HDD, Plextor optical drive and that case design with big USB marketing just screams late 90's early 2000's
Do you actually use TV Tuner?

Yup, that was the point. 😀 Yes, I can connect a VCR or a game console to the tuner card, and since it's a Brooktree chipset, there's no lag.
It's also there because it's what I had back in the day.

That is a great system and I really love that case.
