I have the whole thing connected to the Belkin SoHo KVM with my Windows 11 PC (behind the cabinet on the left) and my NUC that I use as a home lab server (on top of the Blu-ray drive on the right)
A blog post on the build will be forthcoming but feel free to suggest games and software I should load onto or AMA about the system.
It was a really fun project
RAM: 512GB DDR
Windows 98: "You want me to load the entire Internet into RAM?"
Amazing build! It all looks so new! Although that case seems a bit over the top flashy what with the black and beige.
Thanks! I will replace the case eventually with something more bland. It’s just so expensive to find authentic PC cases from the time period. There is a local shop that does PC recycling, I’m going to see if I can get anything from them.
Going to guess you mean 512MB, since that’s the perfect amount for 98 and it can only address 4GB lol
Haha I didn’t even notice. Yeah I’m not running deepseek on my 98 build
Would run doom at max settings for sure tho
