      Indeed. Even today a CRT monitor is very useful especially for playing modern pc games with older GPUs. I still use my 980ti on a CRT and at 1280x1024 Control runs perfectly.

    The box of Eidetic floppy disks caught my eye. I sent a box of 5.25 inch Eidetic floppies to a colleague in Kansas City a few months ago. She and her husband are mentoring a youngster who’d heard of them, but never seen one. I still have quite a bit of old software on both disk sizes: PageMaker 4, Sprint 1.01, MS Word 1.0, Wordstar… Time to knock together an old Socket 7 machine for a bit of fun. I recall building two using 400 MHz AMD CPUs and the then new SDRAM memory back in the day. They were more exciting than my new 24 core Threadripper that’s due for deliver mid-January.

    If you want the computer to stay white go get some high quality auto wax and coat all the plastic with it. Let it sit and dry the wipe it off. The wax will give the plastic a layer of uv protection and will prevent yellowing. Over time you may want to apply again in a year or so.

    This would make a fairly typical dos rig for games that are not too speed sensitive, as for early 9x gaming the S3 Trio is a bit weak but anyway one of my favorites when getting lazy is a Voodoo Rush even though there are better options.

Asked for proof it powered on, and the salesperson proceeded to plug it in and flick the voltage select switch on the back of the PSU while trying to power it on and popped it...
