Thank for your replies. I was curious about the reception on this build, to see what it meant to other retro fellow enthusiasts. This was a dream build for me in mid 2004, when i had my A7N8X 2.0 Deluxe with Barton 2800+ and Asus 9600 XT 128MB. Regarding this PSU, i have some wall and voltage …

GeForce 6800 Ultra! *chefs kiss*👌 I only had a 6600 GT AGP back in the day. It was a good card I had an ATI X800 Pro and never knew it was one of those that could have a quad unlocked by flashing an X800 XT BIOS.😅 But the GeForce 6800 Ultra with its beefy cooler and dual power connectors looked so …

Very nice and tidy build. I had that Chieftec Dragon case on my main pc for over 10 years. Yeah, cable management was not that simple with those old cases. I found a photo from around 2007. My cables were not as neatly routed as yours :D I remember that the case frame was useful to hide and route …

I remember that AOpen case. I used to have 3 or 4 of them but had to part them out to make room and because these couldn't really be stacked because of the front bezel extension lionsmane thingy (because stacking PC cases saves space). Otherwise I like AOpen cases of this vintage 🙂 You also picked …

Heh, that's the same AOpen case that I'm using for my AthlonXP rig . I really like that aesthetic. It's a bit more modern than the "beige blocks" of the 90s, but still not as fancy as some mid 2000 era cases. Good choice on the other components too. It's a very nice system for Win9x gaming. Try …
