Update adding in some upgrades: https://imgur.com/gallery/9K7lHxw
I was surprised to find an old rig like this in a Flea Market and it costed me £2. I took it home took a look inside, needs a clean. My plan to sell this on as i already have a Socket 370 rig. Specs are as follows.
Acer case which needed a wash, also sanded off some rust.
Pentium 3 933Mhz repasted with MX4
128 MB, will slot in a 512mb and another 128MB that i have laying around.
Some weird old harddrive connected to what i think is an SCSI Card. This is my, first time seeing something like this. I plan on upgrading this HDD likely is a 4 to a 8gb drive, to a 120gb along with an 80 Wire IDE Cable.
OS Most likely has Windows 98 will upgrade to 98SE.
PSU is dead, so i will put this EVGA 80Plus Bronze PSU in.
ATI Rage XL entry level card, unfortunately seems like it’s dead. Will replace it with a Geforce FX 5200 once the replacement fan arrives, also repasted the gpu with Arctic MX4. If your looking for a replacement fan, there are plenty of replacement fans available on Ali Express. This is the one i ordered:

I will also solder in an ISA port and see if i can get it to work with my AWE64 Card. I plan on getting the Orpheus card. So the AWE64 would be of no use to me. Hopefully it works. As it didn’t work in my main dual socket build. But i have an Underpowered PSU. Unable to truly test it.
