old hardware Building a pc for DOS/Old Windows games

[RuiFPB]

Hi guys,

like any other quarentine day, I had nothing to do, so I decided to dig up some stuff inside my room, and throw away some trash, when I stumbled into some old PC parts. (pictures will be provided).

I have always been interested in old pc games and computers, so I saw this as an opportunity to build a pc for dos games (Instead of using a VM or DosBox). My idea is to try and find the missing parts to build the computer and install Win98 SE.

 

I've powered the board once (nothing exploded or catched on fire), but I didn't get a post (probably because I don't have RAM or a buzzer to bip the error code).

 

The hardware I found is the following:

    - P2XBL REV.D1 Motherboard

    - Intel Pentium II (B80523P350512E) 350MHz I think

    - PCI modem card with a PCtel PCT789T-A chip

    - S3 Trio 3D AGP365 4MB

    - ISA Sound Blaster Compatible Card with a 82C933

 

I want to know what you guys think. Should I build it, or just keep this stored in a box for the rest of my life?

 

I can't upload everything because of the 20 MB limit, sorry!
