That cd drive is so beautiful

[u/Veddermandenis → u/lachietg185]

TDK didn't make a lot of CD drives...they didn't need to after this beaut

[u/dust_grooves → u/lachietg185]

Back when design has a little character.

I had that exact same case! This is a sweet setup that's similar to what I had years ago.

[u/Inspiron606002 → u/DeepDayze]

I have that case too. Thought it was rare, but seems like every week someone posts a pic of theirs lol

[u/reukiodo → u/DeepDayze]

I loved this case back then, so I got 2!

Service Tech for a small shop in the Bellevue WA area 2001-02. That was the case we built all orders out of for a time. I believe we also had some Enlight and Inwin options but they were costlier. This one was the most economical choice for a small place like the one I worked at. Still have the scars on my fingers from that thing. Good memories nonetheless.

I was in Kansas City area at the time of those cases, but now I’m up the road in Kirkland!

[u/DeepDayze → u/prestocookie]

I can vouch for that, lol. Got enough cuts on my hands from working in that case!

[u/Veddermandenis → u/reukiodo]

I would love to get a brand new one with no yellowing

[u/Veddermandenis → u/DeepDayze]

It was a common case from the late 90's but very cool. The motherboard tray on this one is actually hinged so you can put it down and install the board

[u/Ok-Mongoose-4428]

I immediately recognized the TDK drive

[u/DoodleDoodieDoo]

😍😍😍😍

Love the Live Drive IR. And the feeling of awe I had when playing my first round of Quake 3 on a Voodoo card is a core memory i think I'll have forever.

[u/Zingtron]

Does it have ACPI?

[u/Veddermandenis → u/Zingtron]

Yes. It's actually a server grade board with two P-II 266mhz cpus on it but I couldn't get Win2K to behave with the Voodoo Banshee card so I got back to Win98SE. No SMP though

[u/GoodEveningFolks → u/Veddermandenis]

give it about 2 weeks and someone will vibecode an smp enabler for windows 9x

[u/Veddermandenis → u/GoodEveningFolks]

Ahah! That sounds about right. I honestly don't know how to feel about all that IA assisted coding

[u/Zingtron → u/Veddermandenis]

Nice, my garbo ga-6emm does not have acpi so no vista for me

Nem tinha reparado que o windows está em português quando vi o post. Bem fixe ver mais malta portuguesa com o hobby do retro computing.

[u/Veddermandenis → u/_jcfb_]

Obrigado! É uma paixão antiga!

[u/Glinckey]

What's the name of the thing that ihas v video ports in the front?

[u/lachietg185 → u/Glinckey]

It's only audio ports it's the creative live drive ir

[u/IDK_FY2]

Reminds me of my cambridge 4.1 setup. When it was really quiet you could hear them receiving FM radio.

[u/Veddermandenis → u/IDK_FY2]

This is actually the Four Point Surround 1000 speaker set from Cambridge Soundworks and yes, I got that creepy fm radio picking up too!

[u/IDK_FY2 → u/Veddermandenis]

I first thought I was losing it, faint voices whispering.

[u/jolharg]

I love the SB Live

[u/slaty_balls]

Good ole' live drive. Loved that thing. Especially with the realtime effects and making prank phone calls. lol

[u/lcg]

Lovely setup. I used to have the SoundBlaster Live. Please could you share the Windows 98 wallpaper?

[u/leandro_rozolen]
