Love the horizontal form factor of these old cases. :)

[mnlwrnr]

This was my first PC in 1996:
* Cyrix 6x86 P200 CPU
* 16MB RAM
* 2GB HDD
* 16x speed CD drive
* 3, 5" floppy drive
* 4MB ATI 3D video card with MPEG Video hardware decoder
* Aztech Waverider Pro 32-3D audio card
* PS/2 keyboard
* PS/2 mouse
* 15" crt monitor with integrated stereo speakers
* Windows 95 & drivers on CD with boot floppy
The Cyrix 6x86 P200 CPU has only 150 MHz, but more integer performance than a Pentium 200 MHz CPU.

I had a similar version of this machine in about 2001. Ebay purchased, for about $50. It had the second CPU socket installed, but not populated. The CPU was a P133 engineering sample. I installed two socket 5 compatible Pentium 200 (non-MMX) and it absolutely flew with Windows NT4 and later, 2000. It also had an interesting keyboard with speakers in it. Built like a tank and very heavy. Alas, I sent it to recycling when I moved, as it was big and bulky and the boss lady was getting tired of my computer hoarding.

My first computer was an AST Pentium 100 with 16 megs of RAM. The Pentium 166 seemed so crazy fast!

Oh my God. Why are you doing this? I missed the Intergraph td-310 a month ago and I cannot forgive myself for that.
Such nice lookin machine.

This computer seems to use a strange cooling flow.
The fan in the back of the case blows outwards, but if you look, there are almost no vents on the side or front of the case.
The air is drawn IN next to the vga plug on the video card bracket, past the vga heatsinks (see the dust buildup), to the front of the case, then around and past the cpu's, then out the fan.
Running the computer too long with its case open will probably overheat the cpu and video card.

I was a technician for Intergraph when that machine came out. There is a good chance I put some part of that machine together.

This machine maybe the final version have 2 sockets for 2 cpu, check this because you maybe have a engineering sample of this machine. But it's looks fantastic!

[DVRC]

That's a cool system. Do you have other Intergraph systems, like the TDZ 2000?
Some facts about Intergraph:
- John Carmack had an Intergraph workstation, with a 16:9 1080p CRT monitor.
- The server/worksation division was sold to Silicon Graphics in 2000, and the graphic accelerators division to 3dLabs

Cool i got the same one but with dual pentium pros, maxed memory, dual scsi hdds, scsi floppy and cd rom. Works good.

[SrWolf]

A PSU of the Teapo brand !!! Wow
I would love to see how it is inside.

I have a collection of Quantum Bigfoot Hard disk.
It's really both hardcore & fantastic.
Especially when it slam on your head.

1st. real view! (the first one was from RETRO Hardware himself when posting the link)

[nunyabusiness]

Need a quality crt. those games would look much better.

[ItIsNot]

11:05 I still use paint shop pro 5. Bought it brand new and still have the disc. Amazing software and runs perfect even on windows 10.

[jamesjan]

Isn’t the FDD supposed to be set as 1.44MB 3.5”?

[pentiummmx]

your P100 is the rare goldcap version, rather than the common ceramic version.

[Rainbow__cookie]

Im supprised that they had a bios with interface like click bios we have today
Was that a click bios too then im impressed

[V.O.K]

They would laugh at you if you played Doom when the Pentium 100 came out.

Понастольгировал, был комп в таком же форм-факторе в 98-м, правда на пентиум 2 уже.
