Nice find on that PCX card. I had a similar pcx5900 for awhile and it wasn't a bad card it did what I needed it to do while I saved up for a newer card.

Discreet sound cards were not made obsolet by on board audio. Good luck running EAX or A3D games on AC 97 based solutions.

Nice job with both of those systems. I love the black interior of the Socket A build.

When I first built my brothers computer back in December those ads kept popping up cause I just made a local account. They were very annoying and made it take longer to finish the computer.

For me it's fun playing my old games as well as getting to play with hardware I wanted as a kid but couldn't afford and now the real fun is sharing all of it the hardware and games with my two sons and having a great family time with it.

The vastly larger lithography of these older CPUs is way more robust and durable than the CPUs we have today.

Long shot but does your sound card need a -5volt line and does your power supply have -5volts?
