It's difficult to see, is the PSU mounted on the side of your board?

And btw what graphics card are you using in that rig? 😋

EDIT:

-PCI Fx5200 graphics card since I only have a single PCI slot to work with

Well, apparently this is what an early morning can do to a person 🤣, not sure how I missed it xD

But true, super small Windows 98 machines are difficult. You are either restricted to low-profile expansion cards or only PCI expansion cards. In your case a single PCI which means you either has to give up on positional audio or decent graphics. Though it seems the case could take a uATX board which would fix a lot of its shortcomings without size increase. Otherwise you could consider downgrading or underclocking the CPU. Half of its power is wasted on the FX-5200 PCI, but you'd get better temperatures.

I've also built a tiny Windows 98 build recentrly. Win98BOX

Which FX 5200 PCI brand is that video card? Anyway interesting config beside I suppose a bit power/temperature intensive for a mini itx build but still good.

It's a PNY branded card

Interesting thanks. I didn't know they did a PCI version too that seems a bit different from the Zotac brand PCB layout.

How are the temperatures in such a small case?

Have you checked some benchmarks and resulting temperatures?

Which fan speed is selected at idle or full load?

Glad you had me check, I hadn't installed fans after switching out the Epia board since it runs relatively cool. Was idling in the BIOS around 60C. After I get some fans installed what benchmarks would you like me to run?

Case also has quite a few mounts for for fans given it's small size!

Alright, have added some very lovely Noctua fans. Tested it sitting idle and then with a very built-up save file on Chris Sawyer's Locomotion and here's the temps! Got as low as 49.5 idle and topped out at at 67.

Hi, really nice build! I just purchased the same motherboard (G4G100-N) and was wondering if you had the Windows 98 drivers you found handy to share? Thank you in advanced!

Neat! Mini-ITX was really not common in this era. Interesting build 😊
