What is that ribbon cable mess? You should be ashamed! (For raising people's expectations so high!)

Some PCs are untouched, some images are old - and I havn´t the motivation to clean up every PC from me 😁
I'm slowly getting through with my PCs too and my last one I built, the P166MMX, with central connectors on the motherboard will always look bad no matter how I lay the cables.

How would you like to come over some day, have a few beers, eat some pizza and do some cable management on my PCs? 🤣

Some parts from the Mainboard were missing, brocken Case near the floppy space and to much dirt. Complete disambled, cleaning and more cleaning, solder the missing parts, bleaching and add a Gotek.

What is the maximum resolution on this? does it have a DOS-compatible soundcard? I have a 360Ce which maxes at 640x480 (nice) but without a soundcard, and the body and keyboard look exactly the same as your 370C.

370c = 640x480@256Color and no Soundcard > https://thinkwiki.de/370 or https://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:370C
To use 8bit deep color under Win95/98 you need the IBM Dos Vesa GPU driver in the config.sys

360Ce = 640x480@256Color and no Soundcard > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_ThinkPad_360 or https://thinkwiki.de/360

For sound you need a Dos compatible PCMCIA Soundcard Looking for DOS Compatible 16-bit PCMCIA Sound Card PCMCIA Sound Cards

My current rig, built primarily for point and click games but also capable of more demanding games.
I have a P3 600MHz w/ Voodoo3 for later games that need more grunt, and for 3D games.

Am586 133mhz w/ 16mb RAM
S3 Trio 64V+ 2Mb
PCICF2IDE adaptor & silent ATX PSU w/ converter to AT
Yamaha YMF 719s
Roland SCC-1 (for General Midi)
Roland MT-32 (for older titles)
Roland MA-20 speakers 
Lexmark Model M Mechanical KB
MS PS/2 optical mouse 
Fujitsu Siemens 21p3 21” CRT

On the right is my LTE5000, which tbh I don't really use for gaming but it's helpful in other ways, for eg displaying walkthroughs in true 90's style, and anyway I just love how it looks!

great setup, very clean looking and the sound must be real good. i like the little 'game assistant' lte5000, that's a good idea!

Yes, I have a few of that style including an ALX. I also have some older ones. I particularly like the Antec/Chieftec style cases

Thanks very much! I am really happy with it. I found the case NOS, was really fun building a 90's PC again from scratch but with some upgrades that I could never have hoped to afford back in the 90s!
