Best thing you could do is to paint that power button yellow, so it'll look even more like Pac-Man 😀

Put one of those pinnacle tuner cards in there and stream nes games for the lolz.

What about an ATI all in wonder they have decent comb filters for analog inputs

Good idea

Did this p4 have a self destruct button??? Not that I disapprove 🤣

Behind that door is a USB port. I'll probably rewire it to plug into the USB port on the back

Cant remember what other rigs you have but for me Slot 1 Win9x and late dos gaming rig.
I'd try and fill gaps in you setup though

So if your current computer are all D3D focused then make this a strong glide rig preferably with a 3Dfx card. or visa versa with say a GF4 Ti or FX
If your other 9x builds all have EAX SB Live/Audigy/Audigy 2 covered give this a Vortex 2 to cover A3D 2.0. You could go with a SB 64 PCI and play around with the ecw files if you already have EAX/A3D covered.
ISA sound something you don't have in any of your another rigs.

I second that .. That is THE coolest power button .. EVER!

What about if I print some pacman decals out and stick them on the sides. Pacman on one side and a ghost on the other or somthing. Or ghosts on both sides. I'd consider sticking some pacman chasing ghosts on one of the blank 5" bezels of something as well as a theme. Not sure I want to deface the power button, I'll still consider it though.

I have two A3D cards. Not sure which one I like better the Diamond MX300 or a SQ2500.

That would be a really fun case decals if you did that.

Stickers or even magnets are surely available. 😀

Spent a good part of the day figuring out the IRQ sharing scheme on the board. TLDR its not that easy to get all this hardware to play nice at all but it does now. Work in progress. Need to find one of those fans that blow on the PCI slots. I want to upgrade the CPU and ram. I'm Thinking 1ghz 133mhz FSB or Higher since the BXmaster will run it. 512 MB ram is probably good enough. Right now only 256. It was hard to get all of this hardware to play nice together but we have here basically a dream rig.

TLDR the a3d didn't want to share and IRQ with anything, it refused to work with even ghosted hardware.. The only IRQ the Intel NIC would play nice with was the promise controller.

I left IRQ 7 free since some game might only want to work on IRQ7 with the sound and I can change it.
