I think my speakers would go lovely with a baby-AT or micro-ATX beige case for me to put my Cyrix parts in, or with any unwanted pre-P4 era components.

Picking up a bunch of retro systems tomorrow! About 7 I think. 3 of which are in baby AT cases! So problem solved, hopefully!
It really has highlighted how dominant Intel were back then, out of 7, 6 of them have Pentiums, and only 1 has something different (a K6).
Sadly the K6 system is a "proprietary nonsense" system, using a system specific motherboard.

The Goodmans have arrived!
They work an absolute treat and and have just been listening to the NFS 3 soundtrack for full historic effect!
They are however filthy and full of gunk behind the speaker grates, anyone know if you can get them off to clean behind?

Please check before hand but I am sure you can kind of pry them out, they are held in by bits of the grille being bent slightly behind some clips. I cant remember who but one of the tubers did refurb a similar pair.

Get them pics up!

Yes, it's a prise off and glue job. Take your time or regret that you didn't leave them gunky.
This week I connected my Raspberry Pi MT-32 to my Dell P90. I am using a simple stereo mixer to mix the audio. This means I can run the S2 or the PiMT32. With that and my Yamaha sub purchase, I'm even further into Midi heaven.
Space Quest 3 wasn't working off it, but a vogons highlighted patch later and bukazoids, it works too.

Is there a minimum Pi needed for that? My Pi2b is an ornament these days

There's lots of YouTube on this..
Mine was a Serdashop all-in-one purchase with the Pi and Pi hat. I then have a 15 pin to Midi out connector. This hooks onto the pi-hat. Plug in your speakers to the pi hat and job done.
You can toggle between Sound Fonts or use the MT32 ROMs if you legally have them using the buttons in the Pi Hat.

dont tempt me!
I dont have a kitchen at present so if i start going down that rabbit hole instead I will be living in the garage

Theres a Guillemot Maxi Gamer Phoenix 3DFX Voodoo Banshee PCI in here somewhere, that alone is purportedly worth 150 ish...
These are mostly socket 7 or socket 370, with one super socket 7. Those do so happen to be my favourites but... Some variation would be nice!
SO much stuff to go through!

That is a pile of beauty!
I swear the one with the blue button is the same as our first home DX2 system too!

Finished cleaning them and documenting what parts are inside. There are actually a couple with K6-2s which is nice! One must have had a BIOS mod to support it, which is neat.
Nothing tested yet though.
And here is that Banshee!

So if you ever dont want that presario....

So if you ever dont want that presario....
I will likely move the Presario (K6 233), both Dells (P3 1GHz Coppermine and P3 600MHz Katmai) on, and possibly the Prosignia (Pentium MMX 166) at some point.
