I like that. SX or DX?

There's a glitch in the matrix.

Apparently 32-bit is dead and nobody likes P4s.
Of course, as always, I'm open to correction...😉

It's got a CD-rom and a pretty nice video card, so I suspect it'll be a 386DX-40. Really nice case!

Isn't being homeless worth it to have a perfect 386 with turbo display?

strike first and make her homeless, then you'll have even more room for old PC's 😉
That's a very nice case indeed, something about the LPX dimensions just seems "right" in my eye

You'll need 3volts for that or a 5volt to 3volt interposer.

I bought one of those for the same reason. Nothing sick in that 🤣

Please use the "quote" option if asking questions to what I write - it will really up the chances of me noticing 😀

Ok... I know that some of You gonna hang me for that but....:
I had to depart the 386 setup due to a very major damage done by varta barrel battery underneath - at first look I couldn't see this. Keyboard wasn't detected, amount of RAM was badly detected, some ISA slots didn't worked. I've decided to put 486 DX4/100 AMD CPU, 16MB RAM, MS 4138 MOBO, Cirrus Logic 1MB ISA card, 0,5 GB HDD and MAD 16 PRO Opti 929A card (#12).

I must say..... Opti sound card is just SUPERB!
