Finished up this last night. My 386/486 3D Printed case: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5766910 Just a little 486 SBC system with a ESS AudioDrive sound card and Sergei ISA Super VGA card. Turned out pretty good.

Sat on an Aeron for about 12 years at work.. they're awesome. The only downside about mesh seating surface is that it wears holes in your pants. When it expands and contracts when sitting/standing/shifting in the seat, as it acts like little scissors or a cheese grater on your pants. The...

There have been products recalled for less failures and less hazardous failures than that.

I don't have a website. You can get round keycaps if you want. There are tens of thousands of options for keycaps on custom keyboards.

I have been building custom mechanical keyboards for the past 10 years. They all still work fine, apart from the worn ABS keycaps on some.

It's all about personal preferences when building a keyboard. You can choose the parts you want. As for warranty, who knows, maybe ask the sellers.

Best is subjective. But by wooden, do you mean just the case/chassis of it? I built one last year of that style. I'll share my specs with you: - GH60 Wood Case (Walnut color) - Melgeek MJ64 PCB - MKzealots MJ64 Anodized Black keyboard plate - Durock V2 Stabilizers - Outemu Silent Gray switches -...

Ah yes, very specific instructions there..

It's not user error, or we would have seen melting connectors over and over again with the same people historically using ATX, EPS, PCIe 6/8-pin, etc connectors. Poor design and/or build quality plain and simple. We see the same thing with the chinesium knockoffs of 4-pin molex, sata power...

Finished this up a few months ago and forgot to post it. Found a new old stock Codegen server case, slapped the board in, then installed a Voodoo 3, Sound Blaster Goldfinch setup, and a NIC. Runs Windows NT 4.0 Workstation.

Yea.. the 9700 Pro was a $400-500 top end card upon release.

My list would be.. Older: - TNT2 - GF2 GTS - GF4 Ti 4200/4600 - AGP 6800 Ultra Modern: - 8800 GTX - GTX 780 Ti - GTX 1080 Ti

Yes, it is a Power PC 5200B CPU, as in Motorola/IBM/Apple type processor of the era. The PCI slot does include the AGP riser. Not 100% sure how it works as I haven't looked into the design used, but it works lol.

Does it need to be a full mechanical spinning disk? I gave up on those after trying to buy 6 or 7 different ones for my Amiga 2000.. the most reliable one I found lasted for about a month before it died. Settled for a 68-pin with a 50-pin adapter since they're less than $20 on Ebay and much more...

Just finished up this Efika PowerPC build using a bplan Efika 5200b + Radeon 9250. It runs MorphOS.
