For years I´ve dreamed about a streamlined retro setup containing both PCI and ISA sound cards, and also Voodoo3 paired with Voodoo1. All this working side by side. My latest Win9x machine contains a Voodoo3 2000 paired with Voodoo1, and SB Live! paired with Orpheus2. The sound signal goes from SB Live´s line-out to Orpheus2´s line-in and from Orpheus2´s line-out to the speakers. This enables using both sound cards simultaneously in Windows without switching channels, SB Live set as a preliminary audio device. Works beautifully!

Looks amazing! Watched your video and love you monotone voiceover in it (in a positive way), cool look on how to use the hardware and gave some good ideas!

I always love your builds and look forward to your videos! Great work, and excellent build!

I especially love what you tend to do with cases, in terms of rehabbing them and modding them. Great stuff!

Awesome work with the case modifications! Not sure if you painted or retrobrighted the case and the drives, but they seem to have the same hue now, which looks super clean.

BTW, I don't know what gear you use for recording, but your videos always look really good. Very crisp and with nice lighting. Great production values all around!

Is that a Bx440 motherboard ?
Those were the most desired motherboards for running windows in late 1990’s
Very stable and reliable.

Thank you! I painted them all with off-white. I shoot with my Canon 6D Mark II, f2.8 20-70 mm and f2.8 70-200 mm. For lighting I use two studio bulbs and I use simple adapters to use them in SMDV softboxes that are meant for speedlights. The adapters enables this modification without breaking anything.

Yes, both MSI-MS6119 and Asus P2B-F are 440BX boards.

Thanks! I have three builds, two of them are currently in active use: this one and my P4-powered Win98 machine, and they are also hooked up with an ethernet cable for some multiplayer 😁
