Generic self-build 486DX2/40
This computer was made by myself. I bought the case off eBay (almost new, with LED speed display AND turbo button!) and acquired various components throughout the years. It was always my dream to make a computer by myself and I really wanted to experiment with VESA Local Bus (VLB) so the motherboard was perfect: DX2/40 is quick enough for my needs. The monitor is a generic Dell 14" that I got from my father; nothing special but it has a 4:3 aspect ratio so happy with that. I found an original Microsoft Home Mouse (serial) to go with it and, of course, have a IBM Model M keyboard to go with it. This computer is one of my favorites, since it can run just about anything. Paired with a Sound Blaster 16 with a DreamBlaster for GS compatibility, sound is awesome too. I just love this machine and am really happy with this build.
The hard drive is currently not working perfectly, so I ordered an IDE to CF adapter. I'm also planning on adding a GOTEK Floppy Emulator to go with it.
