The AcerAcross 486DX2/50 from 1994 I've just been playing with. Has 32meg of ram, two hdds , DVD rom drive, 3.5" fdd, 256 L2 cache. Has MS Dos 6.22 with Quarterdecks EMM386, various PC Geos version, Wfw3.11, D esqView X end OS/2 v3 Connect on it.

Stuff I have out in my computer storage area in the garage. Those boxes are full of software and hardware from the 90s.

HP Vectra VLi8 SF
Intel Pentium II 450Mhz
Matrox G200 onboard
AWE64 CT4520
Guillemot MAXI Gamer 3D 2 (Voodoo 2 12MB)

No show&shine, only LAN 😀

Wyse PC 286 WY-2108
Siemens 8MHz 80286 68-pin LCC
1MB RAM (640K conventional 384KB extended)
1.44MB 3.5" Sony 2004 floppy drive (A)
1.2MB 5.25" Epson SD-680 floppy drive (B)
Mint and functional Quantum Fireball SE 2.1GB IDE HDD (C)
Promise EIDE Pro ISA I/O controller card (disabled the on-board BIOS due to issues)
3Com 3C509-TP 10-BaseT + AUI-15 NIC + XT-IDE Universal BIOS
Diamond SpeedStar ET4000AX VGA ISA 1MB video
2TheMax SoundMedia sound card (Adlib Gold 1000 clone)
IBM PC-DOS 7.00
Link (Wyse branded) 101/102-key keyboard (the enter key between the Shift and \ key needed a cleaning and it works)

Added a 486 cooling fan in front of the HDD to prevent the drive from overheating itself by welding the fan to the front bay cover and it does work.
Last thing to add is the HDD activity light to the front bay cover and make the LCD have lights surround it to make the LCD panel visible at night.

This PC I will revise in the future. I already bought a new Peltier cooler and collect cards with blue PCB - I think it will be quite funny 😁

And btw. I love my P4 midrange PC 😀 Re: Retro Rig Photo Thread

I run a P4 as a daily driver 😀. Did you know 32 bit stuff is not going to be a thing according to a least one computer history revisionist?

I think 32Bit is more than enough 😁

Interesting way to park unused slot covers. 😀

I handmade a clear acrylic case for a super socket 7 build, very happy with it, considering I'm not the most skilled at crafting.
