Very interesting indeed! I wonder how it performs thermally, since the only exhaust fan is now at the bottom. Since heat rises would trapped heat potentially be an issue in a design like this? suppose you could use vented slot bracket covers or even leave them off for a little extra air exchange at …

You think that could be an issue? Do Socket 7s get that hot? I would check that cos the south of Spain is pretty hot, especially in the Summer. Maybe an extra fan would be helpful yes. For a Pentium MMX 200 build it might not be as much of an issue. Especially with a decent CPU cooler to help push …

That is a very unusual case. Do you have pics of the back or the inside? I'm curious to see how the PSU and motherboard would mount in a case like that. HI! I took some pics of the case- It arrived today!! It is basically an upside down case. Here are the interiors. The computer came with a Socket …

Hello people. So, news is I found a really "beautiful" case on a second hand selling and buying online app in Spain. Saw it and fell in love! I paid the price though....I'm not going to say how much 😬😬😬 I'm waiting for the case to arrive next week so I can continue with the build. I'm also planning …

S3 VIRGE/DX is probably best for compatibility (It's a trio with a 3d engine) but either of the Trios would do just as well (assuming they don't have the S3 brightness issue) alongside of that Voodoo 2 if it works and fits. I'll echo this suggestion as well. I have a similar spec build (Pentium MMX …

Still thinking about the AGP route. This is my collection of 2D PCI Video cards. If I choose to go PCI I will choose one of these: 1. Matrox 971 G450 2. S3 Virge / DX 86C375 3. S3 Virge 86C325 B3D-S32-BP-S3Cx 4. S3 Virge 86C325 5. Cirrus Logic CL-GD54M30 6. S3 Trio 64V+ G1E3DE 2MB 7. S3 Trio 64V+ …

What do you guys think about the nVIDIA RIVA TNT / TNT2 / nVIDIA RIVA 128 and the / ASUS AGP-V3400TNT ? They seem to have pretty good DOS compatibility and it could be good for some 3D gaming or playing some ways such as Blood / Duke Nukem at higher resolutions. The SiS 6326 doesnt' seem as …

Good catch, I didn't even think about the split voltage thing. In that case, would either have to stick with a board that supports it natively, go with one of those powerleap things, or settle for a 200 non MMX. Answer 1 - newer supplies are more reliable in general. As power supplies age, the …

Ah, so the tomato has 430hx triton ii, so it has MMX support. Also, it looks like it has USB and ps/2 :) The FIC seems to be 430fx triton i, so no mmx out of box. Neither of those look like they have split core voltage, so would be limited to P54 (non-MMX) Good catch, I didn't even think about the …

So it's a PC , not a All in one pc like the Vintage Computer All-in-One Panasonic CF-55 ... If you go with AGP 2X you can get 4x gpu's also to work, TI4600(or quadro version) my favourite. I have K6's and used a long time older sk7 IBM CPU (233 i think) probably faster the IBM CPU than most K6 or …

I'd start with the Shuttle Spacewalker 591P Ver 3.1 and get that going first. The others I'd test and see what I can do with them and how they run. But just on what you presented, I think that is what I'd run an MMX on. Just realised this one has a AGP slot also! I need to check if It has a ps/2 …

Hello fellow vogoners! I'm putting up together a new build. I'm going to use a Socket 7 AT motherboard and a Pentium 200MMX CPU. I like my builds to be practical but also to mantain an old school feel. I also always use CRT monitors as that is a must for me! What I have so far: 1. Various Socket 7 …
