I am going to use a NICE beige AT case and add this Logo to the side of the case. Am I going to use a PAS16 card and what other cards do you think I should use ? I also want to use a SCSI CDROM drive. Will any SCSI CDROM drive work ?

Dual 20" CRTs in the 90ies ? You were operating on a different level than me for sure. As far as i remember, i got dual 22" flat screen ViewSonic CRTs at the beginning of 2000s - they were massive. Cool stuff. Yes, these Kayaks where late 1990’s computers. Around 1998-99 I used 20” CRT’s since the …

That’s NOT a 486 but 5x86. Nice job however. I never tried 180mhz. I was able to get 160mhz stable. AMD 5x86@160mhz., Media Vision PAS16. What bios clock and timing settings are you using ? Can you play MP3’s ?

What if, Vogons could partner with some PCB fabricators and 3D printing companies. Who would be willing to monitor these forums and provide assistance.

Actually, These cases with shinny metal where made of thicker gauge sheet metal. This is more like what my original case sheet metal was like. It did not have sharp edges but was also hard to work with.
