I got something pretty unusual, coming up soon. AT-styled build except it's Slot 1. A 300A (or maybe 333) Celeron to be exact, with 440LX motherboard, paired with 64mb of RAM, SiS 6326 AGP graphics, SoundBlaster 16 ISA and fax modem.
It was made that way on purpose, just to make things somewhat different. Because we always talk about SoundBlaster Audigy, Live & Aureal Vortex sound cards, 3dfx Voodoo graphics (or GeForce/Radeon counterparts) and things are always the best. Top of the line, the best possible components you can find ... well, not this time!
Ironically, sourcing these "original" parts turned out to be more challenging than taking the easier route with Pentium II or even III, Rage128 or TNT2 graphics and SB live because (apparently?) no one bothered to actually keep & preserve these generic, low-end components.
Anyhow, I got most of the parts already here but I'm still missing the CPU, along with the set of case screws and few bits & pieces. And to make this even more interesting, this will be a "full" project, made from scratch - I'm not taking any shortcuts & re-purposing existing system into something else.
