Hello, everybody, my first post here 😀
I'm reserving this topic for my retro-ish build N°1.
The main piece here will be the audio card I've found in my "old junk" box - a Turtle Beach Tropez Plus. I'll be trying to build a functioning PC around it with decent performance, the main idea here is to use it for music production, leveraging its synth and MIDI capabilities. If possible, using Windows 3.11 🤣 , if not - W95 or W98.
So far I have retrieved from the attic, bought, bargained or stolen the following components.
Motherboard (need one with ISA obviously): MSI MS6160 (Socket 370) with AGP, 3 PCI and one ISA slot
Processor: mindblowingly fast Celeron Mendocino 533MHz
RAM: incredibly huge 128 MB Edit: it's 256 now 😁
Video Card: one of the three AGP cards I have - Geforce 2 MX400 64M and two Geforce 4 MX440 64M Edit: Final decision: Geforce 4 MX440
FDD: Mitsumi
CD drive: not sure yet
HDD: I have many, will select the biggest one that fits Edit: 80 GB Hitachi Deskstar limited to 30 GB (maximum allowed by the board)
Audio: well, a Turtle Beach Tropez Plus
