System Specs:
After a few weeks of retrobright, the front cover has returned to its original color. The old rusty cabinet was 100% sanded with several different sandpapers, then the metal was treated so it doesn't rust again, and then it was painted in the original patterns.
The motherboard was overhauled, capacitors changed, cleaned, as well as the power supply. The floppy and cdrom drivers were also disassembled, cleaned, and lubricated, the final touch being the excellent cable management.

A for effort
Amazing piece of history!!!
You posted in the wrong section.
How do you managed to remove the yellow tint from the plastics? I have a bunch of plastics I want to restore including a case. I've been told 40 vol. hydrogen peroxide and an UV lamp could do the trick but I'm not sure, I also don't have an UV lamp yet. Is there any other way?
Oh, there is another picture, all installed. That's fine.... Why not showing all attached cards separately?
Edit: I'm jones'n to hear the clunk of the on/off switch. It's the difference between closing a door on a Mercedes and any other vehicle.
It is what it is really.
Best looking IMO.
nice piece of old hw, but it's not a mod or a complex build.
