Here is my humble Retro Corner.
I have three working Retro PCs, where each one has it’s purpose: the 1998 for DOS and 3dfx/ up to DX6, the shuttle for DX7/8, and the AM3 for DX9+ games

'02/03 Socket A Shuttle | AMD AthlonXP 2800+@2200+ | 512MB RAM | Nvidia GeForce 4 Ti4200 | SoundBlaster Audigy | Windows XP Professional

Took me a second to twig on the tsunami dream, lovely case. Built my AM3 XP/Vista machine in one. Specs are almost identical too, crazy how stuff like that happens.

Well, this is actually my own stuff from 2010 which I reactivated. I bought the case around this time from a colleague at work.

Oh neat. I also had Shuttles back then. I don't remember what hardware, but nothing big would fit anyway.

I see Thermaltake Tsunami Dream, I upvote! 😄
EDIT: Do you have some kind of switch or you manualy connect peripherals depending on which PC you use?

Yes, the grey 1998 uses VGA to Monitor and mouse/keyboard directly. The shuttle and tsunami are plugged in via DVI KVM switch. Sound goes via Y-cable to the 1998 PC and the KVM switch.
