Thanks. The speaker grill was actually a spare piece of walnut I had lying around that I thought had a nice darker contrast. All the router work on it was probably the most time consuming part of the project.

And that little shelf by the door you noticed is indeed my handiwork too. Has some hidden drawers in it for floppy disk or usb drives. It actually holds most of my old manuals for the games.

Real hardware user checking in. I started rebuilding my childhood Christmas gift from 1997 (Pentium 120, Riva 128), which then turned into a tricked out K6-2+ with a Geforce 2 MX. 5 or 6 vintage systems later I ended up with a retro LAN I have my old buddies come over and play on from time to time.

At one point I couldn’t find a good AT case for a 486 I was planning, so I made one out of red oak. I’m actually rather proud of it.

As a long time listener, I might have to finally jump in this month. I actually beat Heretic not long ago, back in early 2022, but I could definitely give it another spin. At least the shareware episode, if not the first three. After that I might be a bit tapped out.
