About LinkBacksMine was a blazingly fast 486 DX33 (33Mhz!) with a huge 4MB of RAM and a massive 150MB hard disk.
I later upgraded it to have a 8 bit Soundblaster card and a CD ROM drive (double speed!).
Still, it could play Doom nicely.

Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.
