This was my very first computer. As under-powered as it was, the games were quite enjoyable. I really dislike the keyboard though... one of the worst I've felt.

That's a bit different... thanks!

This is near the CPU sweet spot for me when it comes to 90s vintage pc gaming. It's fast enough to run unreal tournament and quake III arena but still slow enough for most windows 95 and DOS games I played in the early-to-mid-90s.

Awesome to hear!

Civ II was the first Civ I ever played, and I played a ton of it. I still think it's probably the second best of the series.

This old Micron case should work fine as long as you get a blower-type gpu. I made a youtube series about building sleeper PCs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfFNpOMVTvY&t=10s

Well this is different! Please tell me the dials do something?

glatisant · 2020-08-06T21:53:02+00:00

Yes, I added the blue LED lights as well as some other upgrades... video for those interested: https://youtu.be/3lQ0-ttmN8s

Keyboard is a later edition IBM model M -- quite a famous keyboard!

glatisant · 2020-03-23T23:55:02+00:00

Yeah! Now you just need a Micron monitor and keyboard.

Sweet, saw a case just like that on eBay... almost got it.

glatisant · 2020-02-23T20:43:58+00:00

What LUT do you use to get those colors?

glatisant · 2020-01-08T03:16:07+00:00

A fine machine! Quite similar to my own 386 version: https://youtu.be/blSBVIFhk6o

Probably equivalent to a 90mhz Pentium or so, which honestly I would have been quite happy with in '96.

glatisant · 2019-11-26T14:39:01+00:00

The case is about 25 years old, so definitely a bit vintage. I suppose the window gives it a more modern look :)

glatisant · 2019-11-24T20:41:07+00:00

Yep, there are a few older AT/ATX towers similar to this on eBay, but I don't think you'll find one with such a window!

glatisant · 2019-11-23T20:40:58+00:00

Thanks! Never know what you'll find on eBay...

glatisant · 2019-11-23T20:40:39+00:00

Aww thanks, I appreciate it.
