I think there will be a quite a few people sniping this and that's if the bid stays low nearer to the auction end. I would be tempted myself but I have enough old PC cases as it is.are you after it? was going to snipe it
But dont "really" need it ofc

Nice - Full tower variant of the case that used for Amiga "Power Towers"
https://bigbookofamigahardware.com/bboah/product.aspx?id=1325
I only remember seeing a couple of these full towers when I was a kid. One at a computer sale / meet up and another from a guy I used to buy 'blobby' CDs from in the mid-late 90s.Checkout this absolute unit!

I went in once to pay him something like £20 for 2 copied CDs which wasnt bad at the time as there were something like 5-10 games on each CD (Most didnt work mind or were poor rips)
Anyway, I went inside and his sound stunk of smoke, was really dark but roasting hot. His front room had two massive full towers with about 5 CDRWs in, all flashing away writing. I remember thinking he was a hardened criminal for selling copied CDs

Although it must be slightly earlier revision, this one has breakouts for serial ports etc.. where as mine has a 80mm fan mount

To join in the eBay fun I'm tempted by this so-naff-it's-good-but-is-it-though blue case that comes with some kind of PC...
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/185371980873?hash=item2b2907f449:g:sP8AAOSwUuhiSyO9
I'm thinking its some kind of high end AM2 motherboard (judging from the open ended PCI-E slots that I've only ever seen on AMD boards) with early xfire/sli but I definitely feel like I need a bright blue case with a temperature gauge on it

Built a couple of systems for friends into that case back in the day. Was so bad its good
if anyone is near swindon this is worth the opening bid for the cpu cooler alone: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/165432174562?hash=item268486a7e2:g:jxoAAOSwY2tiFp-X
If you get this you should definately make stickers for the fan and temp gauge and put them over the possibly working gauges!

I've been watching this one. It hasn't sold yet. I was tempted, but I recently bought a similar PC that is now in my garage and I couldn't justify another.
(Or could I? )

Yes you could

With my main retro rig now being more of a ******** then ever and my Dell 486 now being set up I decided to play some simcity 2000 on it this morning.
Its amazing how addictive this game is even after all these years. It did begin to chug a bit on the 66mhz dx2 but you barely even notice it in a game this good

I could never and still can't work out how to get water to work in SC2K. I've got the GOG version and I run it on my 486 AMD DX4-100 and it runs pretty good. Zzzpt.
I'm finally going to complete Doom 2 this weekend I think, playing it on my VIA thing with GM sound. And if I do I'm going to treat myself to Quake 2 on Gog as I've only played the shareware version!

You CAN!I've been watching this one. It hasn't sold yet. I was tempted, but I recently bought a similar PC that is now in my garage and I couldn't justify another.

I won't bid, I got too many units/parts now, even it's on my way to work. I've got a few of those heatsinks, copper, aluminum even a boxed one..so I don't need another one. The motherboard though is really cool, is worth that price just for it.
Soldato
You CAN!
The challenge is stripping it for parts and then profit..
You're only down the road from me @manisses. Are you in the market for any retro bits?
