Just a quick confession before I begin, I started building PC's in 2001 so I want to apologize in advance for my lack of knowledge of older technology.
I have some old DOS and Windows 95 games that I'd like to play, so I am trying to build a PC from scratch to accomodate those games while keeping the hardware between 1995-1997. Ideally, I am looking to build a Pentium or Pentium Pro system, but I've had a difficult time finding motherboards that include the extension cards, I/O shields, and other accessories that are probably necessary to get everything up and running. Here are the proposed specs so far, I would like suggestions on what to do. I'm also having a difficult time finding an older style case, particularly looking for a desktop style chassis or at least a beige mid tower. I already have the peripherals, floppy drives, CD-ROM, etc.
- Intel SE440BX motherboard (includes all accessories and cabling)
- (2 x 128) 256MB Kingston PC100
- Creative Sound Blaster 16 Value
- 16MB 3Dfx Voodoo 3
- 350MHz Pentium II, 512K
Thanks!
