Some sort of case badge and a whiter CD-ROM drive would really bring out the beauty in that case.

Sounds like a fun couple of builds 😁 I've seen those cases for really cheap on eBay, they look quite nice. Keep us posted! 😀

As promised, here's some pix of the items I have so far.

At this point, the first mid-tower has:

• Asus P5A
  Pentium 200MMX
  512MB RAM
  Turtle Beach Santa Cruz
  Diamond Monster 3D II 12MB x 2 (SLI)
  3DFX Voodoo3 3000 (AGP)
  IDE Hard Drive
  Asus IDE Burner
  Win95C

I will probably swap out the soundcard with the Diamond Monster Sound MX300 + Yamaha daughterboard.

The second build will have:

• Asus SP97-V
  128MB RAM
  Sound Blaster 16 + Yamaha daughterboard
  Orchid Righteous 3d (Voodoo 1) 4MB
  Matrox Millenium II 8MB PCI
  IDE Hard Drive

Love all the pictures! Thanks for sharing,

Every time I see an Enlight case, it makes me want to kick a puppy. Other than that, i love the rest of the pictures!

Picked up some more goodies!

Ensoniq Soundscape Opus (S3016)

Matrox Millenium II 8MB PCI

Orchid Righteous 3D (3DFX Voodoo) 4MB PCI

Sound Blaster 16 (CT2950) w/Yamaha DB50XG MIDI Daughterboard

Loved those old Enlight cases, had a couple of the desktop versions in the same design. Shame I had to sell them though to make room for larger things Lol 😈

Not sure I see the appeal. I've a loft full of crap I should have dumped as I upgraded (still got a crappy beige ... yellow now of course case up there FFS!). To me an old machine is just cranky, difficult, slow and noisy 😀

My 386 aside, none of them are cranky difficult or noisy. 😁

Picked up a new (but old) gem 😀

Finally!

I was able to delete one, but not the other for some reason.

That's a very nice Orchid Righteous 1 card with mechanical omron relays. Maybe some day I'll get one.. just like how I'll be getting a 3dfx rampage :p (yeah right).
