Hey @BLLDoesTech @LukeSavenije @AKinsey2468

 

Sorry  this is so late, but I came down with a cold. Anyway, I majorly misjudged the case as it's from July 2nd 2001. It's a Gateway FlexATX PRN SAN e1600 PC. That means that I will need to mod it for ITX (I think). Besides that i took a  lot of pictures of it so theyre in an attached zipped folder. PS, i also got a windows 98 key, so if anyone has an ISO, please send it to me. And, yes I know that I need to clean all of the dust out, its abominable.

I might run it just for sh*ts and giggles, but it's probably going to be win 10

[AKinsey2468]

WIN 98 on an A12 and a B450 board...

Windows 98 is not designed to handle more than 1.0 GB of RAM[43] without changes. Workarounds and third-party patches are available to fix this shortcoming.

Both Windows 98 and Windows 98 Second Edition have problems running on hard drives bigger than 32 GB and certain Phoenix BIOS settings. A software update fixed this shortcoming.[45] In addition until Windows XP with Service Pack 1, Windows was unable to handle hard drives that are over 137 GB in size with the default drivers, because of missing 48-bit Logical Block Addressing support.[46] While Microsoft never officially fixed this issue, unofficial patches are available to fix this shortcoming in Windows 9x, although the author stated that data corruption is possible and did not guarantee that it would work as expected.

i would and i like that idea but its practically a square, ill get dimensions but it'll be hard to retro fit

[AKinsey2468]

Idea: Change the resolution on the monitor to a square, move it over to the side, and add some fake knobs or somethinG?

I did that once with a CRT.

I riped everything out and put in a modern monitor and all the PC parts inside
