Redesigned and printed my bay adapter to better fit the encoder and not look so ... janky. 🤣

Very nice!

I sold quite a few of those Antec cases back in the day, that looks like a VSK-3000 or something similar.

Photoshoot for XP Retro Gaming Fb Group for my Inspirion 530 after I got my XFX Alpha Dog Edition 8800 GT in it.

Oh wow, this might be the first time I've felt really old after reading a post here.

It wasn't long ago I was working on and upgrading Inspiron 530 systems just like that for some friends and relatives... but they are 18 years old now. Holy cow...

I did lots of upgrades to keep them useful for several years, including trying to use sticker-modded LGA771 Xeon quad cores, but the boards in the ones I used could not support Quad Core CPUs at all.

Still, they lasted quite a while. One was even used for light gaming with a Radeon HD 7570 1GB GDDR5 and then a GTX 750 Ti for a while.

Now for some blitting from the back buffer.

Thanks!

It's a VSK4000E. Got it super cheap on Amazon about a year and a half ago. Perfect inexpensive modern case for my DOS build. One of these days I may find a proper "old" case, but until then, this works.
