Very nice build. Now you need a network card so you can organise LAN party's like its 1995 😀
(we spent many weekends playing Doom, ROTT, C&C, Warcraft)

I really like that you have a Waveblaster 2. I know better midi cards exist but it's still a part of computing history and not that common.

Yeah, back then, LAN gaming was always a full weekend, as most of Friday afternoon was spent reinstalling OS, network drivers and even getting the computers to be able to see each other on the network 🤣

Please use the "quote" option if asking questions to what I write - it will really up the chances of me noticing 😀
