Good evening,
Just another new member making his first post. =) First a bit of background;
I am a Gen-Y so please forgive me if I cannot appreciate any hardware older than 386 (it's beyond the scope of my interest). Machine building has always been a passion of mine, and these days I am able to take the time to really turn into an art form of my own. So I figured I'd join here and share in my interest with others.
I greatly enjoy assembling hardware of personal significance to me from 486 to present. And the software that goes with it.
Period correct builds are always my favourite & have taken great pains to ensure its the case. So if anyone cares to share their knowledge (or criticism) in relation to that please feel free to do so =)
But enough fluff about me, onto the fleet;

I do have several others in the construction phase, such as my PII which wouldn't run my voodoo2 cards in SLI due to me not getting the EXACT revisions 😢
The only thing Im desperately trying to come across is a 486 board. My very first build was a 486 & I sorely miss them.
So many combinations to make, so few cases to put them in.
