I love that case! How the hell do you open it though? Also, it could do with some cleaning

To open it, you have to slide 2 plastic tabs in the rear. The tabs are shown in the first picture.

Whats this PC used for?
Win9x, I would probably upgrade the CPU and Video
Late Dos, I'd add an ISA sound card

at the moment is seems kind of in the middle unless you have something else in mind for it?

My first thought as well. When I do a new build, I start by cleaning all parts (case included) *before* I even think about assembling any parts. Especially the front looks gross.

nice build but you should find out where you can buy some simple green to clean that case up. Remove everything and spray it down in a bath tub and scrub the hell out of it, becasue it really is disgusting looking.
