I can't find anything older than pentium 4's being sold locally (as in, e-waste shops) and not going to pay ebay prices. Got my pentium 166 back from 1998 that I sold to my neighbour. He whacked it in this case though:

It actually lets you use 72 pin edo ram and sdram side by side! It came with 128mb sdram and 2x4mb edo. I got 2x8's from a friend (who thinks they're "rare as rocking horse poo" but he must be thinking of 64's) in it and took the sd's out, underclocked it to 90mhz as I wanted to experience as close to my 386dx-40 first doom experience as possible. Check out that SCSI burner! He lost the card for it though. I didn't need it as I raised $500 for an ide 4x burner which is a pretty good effort for a then-15 y/o, selling computer crap that was even older than what I had (I think a cyrix 686-200 at the time)

Absolute havoc inside:

Does anyone know if moslo 4biz allows you to set a clock rate equivalent to a 386/486? The deluxe version has this.

Check the link in my signature. I maintain a database of benchmarks with and without caches enabled, using the utility 'setmul'. It allows my Pentium Overdrive 200MMX to run as slow as a 386DX-25, and it works in software without the need to reboot. 😀 Forum member gerwin is the author of 'setmul'.

The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know.

Dude, I'll look at the system if you can reduce the size of your images - either before you upload them or by attaching them to the post itself. Or check out Stiletto's guide on using IMGUR with Vogons. Welcome, by the way 😀

Check out my blog and YouTube channel for thoughts, articles, system profiles, and tips.

Only posted to say that my first computer has exactly the same case. In fact, I've seen it a lot of times in this forum, whoever made them must have sold a ton of them.
