Took me a couple years to get all the parts together, but it's now working! Had a little trouble getting the power supply to work (tripped my circuit breaker. :blush My black 486DX2 with charcoal gray ALPS 1000 keyboard, matching serial mouse, CD/DVD, 1.2M 5 1/4", 3.5" Floppy, Zip 250 (slightly off-color), SoundBlaster 16-SCSI, EISA IDE card, and SVGA video card. :D
Check out that MHz display! So cool. It says 16 when the Turbo isn't on, but I've done some research on the motherboard, and I think it's an error code that the CMOS battery is low. This particular motherboard, however, has a normal battery that I can desolder and replace relatively easily (little purple 3.6v battery.)
Power button's a little wonky cuz it's just sitting in the hole. I'm going to have to glue it in or something.
Next on my check list are some black speakers, a black 1024x768 LCD (maybe an old IBM), Sound Blaster MIDI wavetable card, and a Roland MT-32. After that, it'll be 100% complete.
