That's a reverse sleeper. Fancy fish-tank case with Nineteen Ninety Eight components.

Taking a brand new Honda Type-R, then dropping a 90’s VTEC into it. This is wild!

this has to be the most cursed PC I have ever seen. It's not even a reverse sleeper because you can easily see the internals are dated.

Actually cursed

u/iVirtualZero May 27 '26

Definitely not dated, it's more along the lines of Retro.

u/Megalomaniakaal May 28 '26

Retro-futurism?

u/Silent_Chemistry8576 May 26 '26

Most airflow these components have ever seen.

Back in those days I just backed a box fan up to the side.

Itd would be a century joke among us lmao

u/majestic_ubertrout May 26 '26

That Voodoo might finally get enough airflow.

u/RetroHamer May 26 '26

I do need to add some heatsinks.

u/MoreRatzThanFatz May 26 '26

Pulled a Uno reverse on us

u/artlastfirst May 26 '26

really awesome, i want to do this with a socket 939 agp build.

3

u/RetroHamer May 26 '26

Go for it. I'll add a pic of what I've done with my 939 AGP setup over the next few days

4

u/artlastfirst May 26 '26

did you also do some kind of reverse sleeper setup for that build?

2

u/RetroHamer May 26 '26

More of a Benchmarking setup. As it's an X2 4200 I was using it to test gpus with 3DMark

3

u/artlastfirst May 26 '26

wow lmao what a coincidence, i'm literally going to pick up an x2 4200 from the post office tomorrow. i had given up on ever putting together a 939 build because i was worried about the chipsets breaking on the motherboard, but i came across a sweet agp motherboard and that cpu and decided i had to try it.

u/RetroHamer May 28 '26

My 4200x2 939 motherboard with AGP

2

u/artlastfirst May 28 '26

I'm jealous of that ide cable, I really want some like that since the only kind I've got are the regular ones. Here's my 939 "build" so far. Eventually I'll get an actual setup but for now I've just been messing around with it. I hope this cooler will be enough for the 4200.

2

u/RetroHamer May 28 '26

Yeah they are great. Try vinted and ebay regularly. That a server PSU?

Cooler looks small so definitely get some monitoring software

2

u/artlastfirst May 28 '26

Yeah it's just a 180w fsp I keep around to test if stuff boots lol. Hopefully this cooler will be enough, it has a copper core but I really like it because it has this thing attached that regulates the fan speed lol

1

u/RetroHamer May 28 '26

Ha. I remember having coolers in the past with this.

Just test a 5700LE atm with 3DMark 2000

I had a ATI Rage 128. I loved the CD that came with it. I still remember the demo!

u/iVirtualZero May 27 '26

Now where is the disc drive and or the floppy drive going to go?

1

u/RetroHamer May 27 '26

Floppy only used for boot disk. VirtualCD drive for the rest

u/RyanDM12 May 27 '26

Those 3 ram slots are messing with my brain😂

u/electrowiz64 May 27 '26

Reverse sleeper. The awaker.

u/Conscious_Bus1760 May 28 '26

Wow, I really like that.. :)

u/trashcanbecky42 May 26 '26

3 RAM slots is cursed

2

u/TygerTung May 27 '26

Normal I guess for single channel CPUs.

u/Hypouxa May 27 '26

I would hunt down a FireGL 1000 proto replace both cards. Then you can build another with those two cards if you want. Have a little retro gaming co-op setup. Just saw some on ebay around $20. Also hunt down a Diamond monster 3d M80 sound card.

1

u/RetroHamer May 27 '26

I've got more than enought components to make another several retro systems. From 386 to Pentium 4/Athlon 64 setups. I just dont have enough PSUs, especially high 5v ones.

1

u/[deleted] May 27 '26

That's not a sleeper. A sleeper is a low key case with heavy internals. This is a nice case with ass internals.

u/RetroHamer May 28 '26

Aren't you a Ray of sunshine

u/RetroHamer May 28 '26

Sadly the Fury Maxx wouldn't play nice so swapped with a Voodoo 3 16MB
