Quantex 486/66 (supplied by Fountain)
I have a Quantex 486/66 that I bought in 1992 (and still have) that looks just like this (no surprise, they were supplied by Fountain). The boxes on these units were great and I used mine into the early 2000s, through two or three motherboard upgrades. But before I upgraded the motherboard, I did a CPU upgrade from the original 486/66 to a Cyrix 5x86/133. The cool thing about this box is that you could then change the jumpers on the panel so that when you turned it on it said 133 - which I did (after some trial and error). Very cool!
(I should note that I had been originally under the impression that the "066" on the display was actually somehow tied to the CPU clock and I had thought that when I plugged in the Cyrix, the new clock speed would be sensed and it would automatically show "133" - how naive!)
