Thanks for the tip...those may be exactly what I am looking for, specifically the desktop conversion as that would fit into my TV stand nicely... You mentioned the 360 was a little smaller....is it enough to cause the heat issues you arent seeing with the 361? I only ask as the smaller but still …

Expansion cards....at least the 9800 GTS PCIe card I want to have installed... Even if I have to look into a mini-ITX motherboard I could do that, if it meant getting an even smaller case. As for all on board, no I havent found anything like that. Its really for watching videos I have stored on …

I also have a Mach64 GT card and a Trio64V+ from the same 1995 era I just dug up...could give those a shot as well...Just want to get the best graphics performance for that era that I can with what i have now and maybe upgrade to something better (NV1?) later.

What other 1995 era card would you recommend in the machine to fully play 1993-1995 era games? I have a Matrox Millenium (2 MB) card as well that I know is 95 era. Or would the Virge I have play most of that era games outside the big 3D ones?

Re: How ''brand crazy'' are you guys?
Posted on 2017-01-04, 20:35
For me, anything prior to 2000 is collectable. Doesn't matter the brand (or no brand in some cases!). I get a kick out of messing with any old hardware. The wonderful thing about old x86 equipment is the diversity of the brands! Trying to get everything working together from different companies and …
