This isn't the same IBM PC I was working on earlier its a different one.
One of my old projects that I never finished well not completely as I need to tidy things up a bit at the back and make a grill to cover that gaping hole at the back.
This was a PC I threw together from parts I had laying about.
This IBM 300GL I bought on ebay for 25 quid about 4 years ago and it did work for about a month until it started having issues with the board. I stripped it and chopped up the back of the IBM case to fit an ATX motherboard I had... The floppy drive and hard drive are the original parts still in it. I did have an 80 GB hard drive in this to start with but it died so I ended up using the old IBM's 4 GB hard drive which is perfect no errors and still going strong. This PC works very well it also has sound but doesn't display the speaker icon in the taskbar I thought I would mention that just encase anybody was wondering.
I know it looks scrappy at the back I will be tidying it up. I used a bit of Milliput in the corner of the I/O shield which will be sanded and smoothed over then colored with a silver pen.
