Building a fast 386 stealth style (ATX case & PSU, 32G CF card, USB FDD, Pwr & Turbo)
I recently built this fast 386, aka "The stealth 386"
Looks like a standard, modern computer from the outside, but turn it on and awesome DOS gaming awaits you!
Here is an image of the finished computer in action:
As always, I documented the process and produced a little video guide I have also done an intro to set the mood a bit...
