    Front plastics on my Slot 1 case came up really nice with the Flash Magic Eraser. I also used a clean one on the plastics of my Daewoo CRT and some window cleaner on the screen of it (as suggested by @iHardware Shelden). I cleaned the AT-PS/2 Keyboard with the same glass cleaner just squirted on a terry cloth and it's all come up a treat. I've stripped the rest of the case completely bare. Cleaned the painted top of it with a magic eraser and have drilled out the pop rivets that hold the top panel on. I'll clean the two side panels with an eraser too. Next stage, in some good weather Tuesday or Wednesday, is to take the three painted parts out side. Give them a light going over with some sand paper and applying the RAL 1013 Oyster White paint and letting them dry. I don't usually have a lot of luck with spraying but I'm hoping they come out ok. While those are drying I'll clean out the unpainted chassis from metal debris and dust. I've got some matt black spray paint just sitting doing nothing at the minute and I'm tempted to spray the unpainted parts of the chassis with it. I know it won't be 'period' anymore but I think it'll look good. What do you guys think?

    I assume then that the V3 get's it's 3.3v from the AGP slot? I've heard you can't run older AGP cards in newer AGP slots because (even IF you could get past the different keying) they'll blow the mosfets on the motherboards as later AGP cards run at much lower voltages. but you can put newer cards in older slots

    I might look in to OC'ing it one day but for now I'm happy with the performance of the whole system. I'm tearing it all down to separate components today/tonight and I'm going to go through my checklist i got for it one by one. by the time I've finished that it should be one hell of a Windows 98 machine. I've still got my eyes open for an IO shield for it but that's no biggy if i can't find one. Once it's torn down I'm going to drill the rivets on the back of the case and take the top panel off. Clean and sand that down along with the two side panels. mask up the unpainted areas on them and hit them with some RAL 1013 I've bought. I got a couple of Magic erasers I'm going to use on the plastics. I'll install the 80mm in the front for some air intake (there's no exhaust mount) There's only two 3-pin fan headers on the board so I'll have to split the front one between the 80mm intake and the 40mm on the card. I'm going to use this other quiet new 40mm on the CPU heatsink as the one that's on their is really rattly. I'll also spin that floppy connector around/make a new lead which ever it needs. Then it's just a case of buttoning it up, riveting on the top panel and cleaning the monitor and keyboard and it'll be complete Apart from all the software I'm going to have to fix to get a proper DOS mode going on it.....EMM386 anyone?

    I find the humour in Linus using "it was a Charity Auction" as a form of defence. Like it'll make it go away.

    it still wasn't theirs to sell doesn't matter who got the cash for it in the end. that's why it's funny. it doesn't matter if it went for a charity auction, it shouldn't have been sold at all

    The LTT subreddit is really funny.

    they got accused for selling a prototype waterblock. and when Linus sent out his initial rant about the backlash he said "We didn't sell it, we auctioned it for charity" which is the same damned thing

    First package came from my eBay haul I'll have an update on that cheap 165Hz IPS monitor soon. To put it lightly I wanna get a 27" one now to replace my ancient Asus PG278QR

    Little update on the custom IDE and Floppy cables. Out of the 8 connectors i put to the three leads I got ONE around the wrong way. It's the motherboard end of the Floppy cable. I just need to carefully peel it off and reattach around the other way. I know it's this cause now both my floppy drives have a light on constantly. The IDE cables though they work a treat. Here's a vid of it playing some CD Audio

    Used the Chalnziye HY 510 in the end. We'll see how it performs. Also decided to use the heatsink that came with it, as on closer inspection, it's already been modified to fit. Spacing and a little bit out of the top post to allow for RAM has been done. I was under the impression it was just a stock V3 2000 cooler on it. So it also looks like I'll just be able to screw in the 40mm fan from the other cooler. Happy days. Got the heatsink and the die cleaned up really nice Also, in other news I have my two custom IDE ribbons as well as the custom Floppy cable done and installed. It looks a little messy and i may re-do the HDD one as it's a little short. but it saves so much space as compared to the stock Ribbon cables i was using

    I've got a large tube of Chalnziye HY 510 also. so might give that a try first before i bust out the MX4. There's a Youtuber i watch called BudgetBuilds that uses it a lot. Also on looking at my V3 3000 a bit more i may just be able to screw the 40mm fan that's on this cooler straight on to that. saving the need to have to shrinkt the hole spacing on the other from 60mm down to the voodoo's 57mm

    I know where to get all the parts now i could always make you one if you need it
