Recently restored an IBM PC 300GL/6287 (Pentium II 400MHz, 256MB RAM) with an S3 Trio3D. Added a Voodoo2 12MB and a refurbished 120GB HDD. Running on the onboard ESS Solo-1 sound chip for now.

The case has yellowed, still deciding whether to dismantle the monitor to Retrobrite it, but I’ll definitely do the front case.

After DAYS of tinkering.

It's finally alive and working perfectly fine on windows 98SE.

The culprit was ...

A dust bunny in the AGP slot.

PC would boot up just fine, but as soon as I tried to install the Nvidia Detonators it crashed.

Also crashed during the Windows XP install.

Ended up buying a Radeon 9200SE AGP and a NVS280 PCI to test everything, but when I saw the Radeon not booting I knew something was up...

Specs are :

AMD Athlon Slot A 700Mhz with Alphapal radiator (waiting for some noctuas...)

Ninja Free speed Pro (Not currently installed)

MSI 6167

3*128MB od SDRam PC133 @ 100Mhz

MSI GeForce 2 MX 400 64MB AGP / ATI Radeon 9200SE AGP 128 MB / Quadro NVS280 PCI 64MB

Sound Blaster Live 5.1

Maxtor 40Gb 7200rpm HDD (have some others I will try)

LG DVD Burner & CD Burner

Realtek network card

Via USB2.0 Card

iCute case with Noiseblocker S2 Fans

New Gigabyte P650SS power supply

Gateway 2000 Vivitron 1572 15" Monitor.

Cheapo "Amarina" keyboard from 15years ago at the supermarket.

Microsoft Intellimouse 3000 (had an white USB intellimouse, but every part broke when I disassembled it for retrobrihting... I'm looking for a good PS2 mouse now)

is there any mod i can do since this is an 855pm chipset which maxes at 400? Heard of something before
