Motherboard Choices, what to pick for my new old stock AT case

Heya folks!

I decided to have a fun little idea, which I originally posted on my site, but decided to go ahead and post here on the forums as well! 

I have an AT style computer case, new old stock that is waiting to be assembled. However I have several choices and thought it’d be fun to let others have some input in which board to choose from! I am considering making a build log, either by making a video or posting pictures here.

So first off, this is the computer case that I will be using:

Inside, it still has the baggy with instructions for the MHz display, feet, PC speaker and some motherboard mounting goodies. :D

So now to the fun part, motherboards! :lol: You can click the pictures for a larger version! :cool:

AMD 486 DX2 66MHz with 16MB RAM. Just needs a little bit of cleaning where the old CMOS battery was located, and a new replacement or external battery and it’ll be good to go!

FIC VT-501 Motherboard with a Intel Pentium 120MHz processor and 16MB of RAM.

Intel Socket 5 Motherboard with a Intel Pentium 133MHz processor and 32MB of RAM.

FIC PA-2002 Motherboard with a Intel Pentium 166MHz processor with 16MB RAM.

OCTEK Rhino 9 Motherboard with a Intel Pentium 166MHz processor with 32MB RAM.

FIC VA-501 Motherboard with a Intel Pentium MMX 166MHz processor with 48MB RAM.


That's it for the motherboards. I do have various assortment of hardware to include in this system build. This isn't all of it, but just to show a few I can choose from...

So things like S3 Virge/GX, Trio32, Trio64V+, Trio64V2/DX, some sort of Trident, Sound Blaster AWE64 Value, AWE64 Gold, Yamaha YMF718-S (I never used this before, only Yamaha card I have too.), some ESS Audio Drives, some Aztec cards, ethernet cards... I suppose if anyone has interest, I will list every card I have here and you guys could suggest whatever I have from the pile. lol

I do also have a Roland MT-32 and Roland SC-88 that I also can use for games that support those for Midi.

I just think it'd be a fun project to include input from others, and I did limit my list to what motherboards have CPUs that fit with in the MHz display range. lol

 

I already do have a 120MHz Intel Pentium 1 based system with a Matrox G200 and a Voodoo 1 3DFX, and a 100MHz AMD 486DX4 setup with some S3 virge and Voodoo 2 3DFX GPU. So there are plenty of possibilities to where this project can go. ^^

48MB or RAM? You're just going crazy man, nobody needs anything that fast!

In all seriousness though, I'm kinda jealous.

Crazy, eh? My 100MHz 486DX4 system has 64MB of RAM. :D
