Need some ideas

Post by redfedora88 »

I have one of the old computer cases that's huge. It's running a 486 and I'm about to MS-DOS on it. I need some ideas of what I can do to this case. I just want something where people walk in and see it and go "WOW, what are the specs on that?" and I can smile and say "It's a 486 running MS-DOS 6.22."

Just leave it how it is.. I'm sure it looks antique enough to draw those types of questions without doing anything to it.. hehehe

....put in a few window mods. Add some cold cathode tubes along the window edges. Make some type of custom cooling configuration with 120mm fans and air ducts. Call it "Overkill", and then tell the admirers that it's only a 486 CPU running MS-DOS.

Someday I'm gonna mod my old Osborne Executive. It was a CPM machine from 1983. :rolleyes:
