Is it a snail or some type of horn instrument ? I could put my Terratec sound cards into it and turn it into an Terratec Audio Creation studio ? I could fit it with internal speakers with woofer. Or just turn it into a mail box. Or I could fit it with Internal speakers and use it as a Music box.

I choose Win NT 3.51 over WFW 3.11 because of built in Networking and miscellaneous programs included. WFW had built-in networking as well, that's why it was called Windows for Workgroups . Anyway, you may want to look into OS/2 Warp (3.0) then. Very stable, built-in networking, and comatible with …

Yeah, It's going to be a retro Audio Studio build with Terratec audio cards. One ISA and TWO PCI cards. Oh, wait. They are all PCI cards. In which case I can go with Socket 755 Core-2-Quad or 1155 i5-3470 CPU. Or AMD. What do you think ?
