Brilliant, Love your fabrication work. AX64 pro is a solid board, had one for years running no problems. Don't understand why the VIA chipset had such a bad wrap over the years.

Maybe try a couple jumpers on the pins, see if bridging it gets rid of the error?

Man i love Dells for their case aesthetics but hate them for their propriety crap like powersupply connector pinouts and then lack of AGP on systems like these; Though not necessarily a problem when you have a PCI Voodoo card.. Good system none the less.

Nice little system. As someone mentioned already ATI Rage XL, Can pickup 8mb generic branded ones brand new still from China ebay or even amazon cheap. I have a couple machines that run it and is not a bad card really, supports Direct X 6.0 which i don't think this machine will be running much that …

The FX cards are some of the most reliable components I have ever come across. God, compared to Radeon 9800s... Agreed, Haven't come across too many dead cards from the FX series except the top tiered ones, Obviously cooked them selves to death. I have a draw full of dead 9xxx series Radeons which …

I've downgraded and also upgraded a few aspects in this build but have it running very nicely for now. The only problem i have with it is it's too fast for some games yet too slow for others that …

Contrary to what most people like doing with their retro machines, I like seeing restored low end stuff like this and feels more nostalgic.. Can still be a bit of fun; Stuff like this is all i had access to as a teenager, didn't have the money for high end gear.

Windows 98SE and Large Hard Drives - Might give an idea for the hard drive work around. As for the USB hub, I've had no problems running a generic $5 hub on USB 1.1. Otherwise a PCI card will almost definitely solve your issue.
