Still working on reassembling it. You see, I hated the case it came with, and the old PSU certainly wasn't the best either - so I went with the old ones that were in my 486 way back.
Right now it has a 1 GB HDD and 32 MB RAM (4x8MB SIMM's, but it also has a free DIMM slot), the SPU is one of ESS's ESA 18xx models, and the GPU is an S3 Trio 64 V+ - not sure it that's 2, 4 or 8 MB RAM, but I suppose 4 / 8 to be more likely.
I'm adding two USB ports to it - the mobo has a controller but no integrated ports.
Also, I'm on lookout for another HDD socket - this is because of a little quirk I'm planning: the main HDD will run under Windows 98, while the one in the socket - when installed - will run the machine in DOS.
The 800 MB HDD I've got for this purpose will suffice for DOS gaming, but not much more - just found a few badsectors on it, which suggests it's a bit past expiry date already.
