I have HP Vectra VL600, however it doesn't have case since it moved to another case.

Later I store the motherboard, processor, and motherboard and I wrapping them with paper except motherboard due it sizes. And I resurrected the machine as "Junky Vectra VL600".

Here's the picture:

The mobo tray was from extracted case. And the stand was made from cardboard box which contain travel bag 😜

It's looking messy right there

Another mess

I using this front panel button for HDD status and powering this PC, it was from extracted case

I using Matrox G400 for primary display, meanwhile S3 Trio64V2/DX was not used yet because I install them to this PC for testing

It using Pentium III 800 MHz (133 MHz system bus) passive cooled, and the PSU fan was assisting CPU cooling. The PSU size look's weird, I believe it previously was desktop model

The memory was NEC 128MB RDRAM

I use Lite-On DVD Combo Drive which formerly used for my current PC, unfortunately it can't reading DVD because their quality was degraded by cheap-ass PSU

The HDD was Quantum Fireball lct10 which it was HP OEM

It was showing Vibra 16S sound card and LAN Card with Wake-On-Lan. The Vibra 16S was very noisy even sound not played.

So I wanted to installing Voodoo2 SLI right there, also I want to installing sound card or DVD playback card with sound card. But I got trouble to finding them, where I find them.

My gaming experience was not bad, I got benchmarking them with Quake II with 47 FPS. Microsoft Monster Truck Madness II and Microsoft Motorcross Madness was running flawlessly. Need For Speed II SE was run flawlessly too, however graphics was bothering me.

I deciding to upgrade graphic card to GeForce FX 5500, GeForce 6200, or GeForce 6600

You need a case desperately 🤣. NFS II basically only looks good when you run it in Glide.

I don't have any good case when I have proprietary PSU form factor and ATX connector arrangement (like Dell PSU, but it's different) 🤣

The component was taken from desktop case.

It's a weird looking Matrox G400.
