This recent build started out as a benchmarking machine for a fellow Vogoner. I originally installed the setup in an open desktop chassis, so that I could install and swap items out quickly and easily. Well, yesterday I decided to turn it into a full-fledged 386 gaming rig. As someone who is very OCD about cable management, I spent roughly 2-3 hours routing the front panel wires and wrapping the IDE cables to create a clean appearance, and maximize accessibility. PSU cables were sleeved with wiring harness tubing, and secured with heat-shrink.
