Skip the History part if you don't like reading (Like you wouldn't if I didn't say so ).
History:
It started with building an old system that I never could pay for (Back when a P1 200MMX was $500 orso...that's just the CPU for you youngsters) as I still have lots of old (DOS) games, and it was also part of a MOD (Dinner table MOD...more about that later).
As I only had my first 586 CPU (AMD K5 PR75), a Cyrix PR233 (187MHz) and an Intel 100MHz I started looking for a Intel 200MMX or 233MMX (While the Cyrix will run @ 233MHz with ease it still kinda sucks performance wise, besides that a lot of old games require patches, and as it's hard to find these patches Intel was the way to go.
Well all stores that sold them (200/233MMX CPU's) were charging way too much IMO, so off to Ebay I went, I found a 200MMX and placed a bid, found a MOBO + CPU (233MMX) + 16MB + 2 or 4MB V-card...placed a bid, and finally I found a K6-2 300...placed a bid...Why so many bids you may ask? well I've seen people bid much more as I was willing to pay (€5-6 or ~$6-7 US) so I didn't think I would win them all....I was wrong....I won all auctions. So now I had 3 working P1 systems

I got this PC for free (386 AMD DX40) and my first thought was to turn it into an ATX case, but as I ended up with more 'crap' (see 'History') I decided to do something else with it.....On to the pics:
The case how it used to be (Kinda, the removable HDD rack was done in PSP as I forgot to take pics, and it may have been in a deifferent order):
This is with an Asus P2B (When I thought about turning it into an ATX case):
Back side:
Old case that I found and will be using:
Lets get jiggy with it (That's what you do with Jay-Z or a Jiggy saw, I did it with a jiggy saw as I couldn't find Jay-Z......he was probably hiding from me ):
I'll post some more pics later
