Heh, I thought I was the only one who still uses C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\CABS for the installation folder. :) And yeah, mid-2000 era fans are sometimes way too loud compared to modern cooling solutions. One of the reasons I went with an Athlon64 system was because current AMD coolers still fit on those. …

Beautiful build excellent work! That's a nice looking case, simple and clean. Great build overall! Thank you! Great work, and I love your YT videos. Not long ago you were talking in the Orpheus thread about getting one for a DOS/98 build. Is that also still in the works? DOS/95 build, actually ;D …

Okay, it´s been a couple weeks and this machine works great! There´s just one problem: DOS games that use to work previously doesn´t work anymore. Commander Keens, Cosmos Cosmic Adventure, Prince Of Persia, Duke Nukem 1 & 2, etc. all played without problems, now they won´t even start. This can´t be …

I like the case, looks very tidy. I guess it has excellent airflow with those Noctua fans. The wavy grille pattern on the front and the side kinda reminds me of the Windows logo. And yeah, I know the feeling of wanting "just a bit more" performance, which then leads to an entirely new build. :D BTW …

I doubt the sound card or the drivers would be the problem. Are you playing original physical versions of these games? If so, the first thing I´d do is to find the latest official patches for them.

Good call on painting the case. Looks better as one color. Wow, really nice job on the case there. Any repainted part I ever came by looked like shit but you obviously know what you're doing. But does Win98 care about the 2 GB of RAM? Think there's not much of a difference beyond 512 MB, iirc. …
