My OCD really likes the 2 Diamond branded cards, even though I know it actually makes makes no difference. What you use NT4 for? I have a soft spot for the OS but struggle to find a use for it. Why that much RAM? That chipset cannot cache above 64MB. Yeh you get a slight performance hit in dos/9x, …

That’s a very nice looking build! I usually wouldn’t opt to have a black CD-ROM drive in a beige case, but in this case it looks great, as it compliments the black panel on the front of the case! :) Very nice! thank you, i was really aiming for a "different" look and while it not may be period …
