Another Retro build from me. Its a desktop Pentium 100S with 32 MB RAM, a 2MB V64 VGA GPU based onboard by Asus/ATI running Dos 6.22/win3.11
It has a Ensoniq Soundscape Elite for Midi. I also await a Roland CM-32L with MPU-401 interface (internal/external box).
Really love the Ensoniq sound on the native games like Anvil of Dawn..
The Mixer will handle than all 6 Channels (MT-32(old), SC-88 Pro , CM-32L) + RTN for SoundFX.

Maybe you want to fix the right end of the big soundcard with a cable?

I would have some concerns about the length in combination with horizontal installation...

Really nice case although I think of 486 and below when I think desktop style.
Just need a Yamaha MIDI device and would think you have the full retro midi set covered 😀

Desktop cases were definitely around in the Socket4 and Socket5 era, though mostly in OEM systems.
